So, RW says Koppel's reading of Iraq Soldiers Death is Fake/Ratings

[KoKo]

designed to Pump up "Nightline."

Others say: VietNam Veterans would have been so happy to have their death told read anywhere in the Media.

The argument seens to be over: "Cover Up our Dead because this 'calls attention to it' for corrupt Media Ratings." Or..."Please, Read the Names because these Soldiers 'Sacrificed' for what our President Called them to in this WAR ON TERROR!"

Which is it? "Patriotic" NOT to read names of our American Soldiers or "Not Patriotic" to read the names of Soldiers who are "Sacrificing."

3. Yes ABC has asked affiliates to pre-empt it eom

[BigDaddyLove]

7. Was it ABC asking affiliates, or was it the affiliates (Sinclair)......

acting on their own.

I don't think ABC would initiate a boycott against Nightline.

6. RW is Right Wing Republican Fanatics who have Taken Hold of America...

They believe in a "Black and White" view of the world based on their "distorted" view of Chritian teachings.

They have taken over our Media because their philosophy coincides with Business/Corporate America who believe a "humbled and captive citizen" will buy their productus and go and praise "THEIR JESUS" on Sundays.

They believe in Christian Wars like the Crusaders of old where we Challenge and Subjugate the Infidels. This will lead us to "Armaggedon" which was a prediction in the Bible in the Book of Revelations.

Corporate Media is "embedded" with these Bible toting folks who are what we DU Christians believe is blasphemy to Jesus's teachings, but these "New Christians are so aligned with Bush and the Corporatists, that letting "theology" stand in their way is beneath them. So they try to trash Liberal/Anti Sharon-Likkud supporters along with Christians who support the teachings of Christ and they bastardize both and turn politics into somekind of NAZI/FASCIST view of where we should be going here in America today.

This is "MY" explantion as I see what I'm fighting against. Others here on DU may differ.
