Note to Readers
Sorry for the short update today. Due to my work schedule, Thursday and Friday are the most difficult days to get this page researched and published.
This really pisses me off. Sinclair Broadcasting Group is pulling a special edition of Nightline which will feature the names and photos of soldiers who have been killed in Iraq from the TV stations it owns. The company's general counsel says, "We find it to be contrary to the public interest." Bullshit. Here's some more about SBG and their political views. In fact, the company has a policy to give preference to "good news" stories from Bush's War. Of course, the company is only protecting the investments of its top executives. In the 2004 election company executives have given $65,434 in campaign contributions, with 98 percent of that total going to the GOP.
