I remember reading shortly before the plane went down, that an ABC executive in charge of the news, who had the authority to do so, was looking at the success of conservative talk radio, and the economic floundering of ABC news at the time, and made the decision to completely revamp ABC television news to reflect a conservative point-of-view rather than the liberal viewpoint of all of the major network news. I later read that this executive (whose name I do not remember) was on that plane. But nothing was ever said about this by anyone, ever, not even the best conspiracy theorists out there, so I just regarded as my own personal conspiracy theory, cleverly created by paranoid me. Of course, that was back in the day before all of the creative YouTube conspiracy theories where I learned that I’m actually not as clever and creative as I thought, a piker in fact.
Perhaps you were thinking of Jack O'Hara?
