A little bit of ranting never hurt nobody!

 
::more random musings::

Am I the only one who doesn't care that Friends is coming to an end, but care A LOT that I have to wait an entire summer for the next new episode of CSI!!!

Thai 9 is a really good...and not very expensive restaurant if you're looking for great sushi and thai food.

I really hope that this does some good, but I'm not holding my breath.

Here's some interesting snippets from this article:

:::"Sinclair Broadcast Group has ordered its seven ABC stations not to broadcast Friday's "Nightline" that will air the names and photographs of the more than 500 U.S. troops killed in the Iraq war."

:::"In a statement online, the Sinclair group said the "Nightline" program "appears to be motivated by a political agenda designed to undermine the efforts of the United States in Iraq.""

:::"Sinclair general counsel Barry Faber confirmed the company told its ABC affiliates not to air Friday's Nightline."

"We find it to be contrary to public interest," he said.

ABC said that on the first anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks it aired the names and pictures of all those who died on that day.

"ABC News will continue to report on all facets of the war in Iraq and the war on terrorism in a manner consistent with the standards which ABC News has set for decades," it said.

Sinclair's statement said ABC is politicizing the war."


Hmm...don't know how I feel about this one. Shouldn't Sinclair allow the American public to decide whether or not this particular episode of Nightline is biased or not? If they continue to show Peter Jennings scowl every time he says the words "President Bush"...or not take Good Morning America off the air beause Charlie Gibson is a completely raving liberal and isn't afraid to show it...

Here's the thing...I hate Limbaugh and Hannity for the exact same reasons I hate Moore and Franken...they are lunatics and are so far to either the left or the right they refuse to even try and have a non-combatative conversation about any issue. But...there needs to be non-partisan, unbiased coverage of world events, and sadly there is absolutely nowhere to get that in this country anymore. Fox News...yeah, right!! Heck, even the AP has an opinion these days! I might as well be getting my news from Pat Robertson's CBN News program! Regardless, the American public should have the right to decide whether or not ABC is "politicizing the war"...um, folks...war IS political...duh! Sheesh! But the fact that four of the top executives from Sinclair have been donors to the Bush/Cheney releection campaign shows just one thing...these guys are making just as much of a political issue out of it as they are claiming ABC is doing...think about it...

Nuff said for tonight...peace out, yo.
