1. So sad that the network bringing us the wonderful 11 part "LIFE"

series, would promote such a negative (anti-animal welfare, anti-environment, anti-conservation, anti-truth) spokesperson for their show on Alaska.

10. I've been noticing that too, it appears they've taken a definite shift in their programming. I've

stopped watching too for just those reasons, then along came Palin.

17. From TVNewser

A Fox News spokesperson tells TVNewser, "Real American Stories features uplifting tales about overcoming adversity and we believe Mr. Smith's interview fit that criteria. However, as it appears that Mr. Smith does not want to be associated with a program that could serve as an inspiration to others, we are cutting his interview from the special and wish him the best with his fledgling acting career."

26. Go After The Adverisers...No Bucks No Buck Rogers...

Firstly, the show is to air on TLC, not Discovery...owned by the same company but not the same channel (also one I rarely watch) and, honestly, I think the show would be an embarassment to the network (its starting to turn out that way)...and I suspect the show will fade into oblivion or provide us with lots of laughs...most likely both.

By making a stink, which is all well and good, you risk giving this video abortion more publicity than it deserves. But if you're really determined to do something, I'd go after the advertisers...the people who will be paying the bills and shine a little light on them...let's see if they'll be happy with being tied to the Disasta from Alaska...or will it be sponsored by Cash4Gold. LOL.

27. Kick again - this deserves your attention!!!!!! nt
