ABC News Bans Flag Lapel Pins

Yesterday, the brass at ABC News issued orders forbidding reporters to wear lapel pin American flags or other patriotic insignia. Their reasoning was that ABC should remain neutral about 'causes'.

Since when is support for preventing our death & destruction some sort of a 'cause'? Since when is patriotism to be discouraged. I urge you to boycott ABC and its sponsors and affiliates.

We're slowly losing everything our country stands for, and everything our men and women fought and died to preserve.

Please forward this to as many as you can. You can verify it by going to:

This one needs to get to everyone!

I SHUT HER DOWN GOOD


Told her that some stupid piece of plastic made in china that someone wore or did not wear did not signal patriotism. I told her that voting was more patriotic and that when PResident OBAMA brought our troops home, including my brother in law, that we could once again be a proud nation one that values the sanctity of life. (see she is a one note abortion voter)

I also forwarded it to ANY that she sent on her list.

BOOYAAAAAAA

2. They had a motive at least; protecting journalists

Of course the right wing morans ignore that motive competely. Typical of their "reasoning."

3. ABC has had some interesting moments regarding 9/11

Although they should have worried more about the "neutral" line when they greenlighted the "Path to 9/11" farce to blame it all on Clinton and they should have thought about that before having Charlie Gibson (and Stephanopoulous) do hack jobs during debates on Obama.

4. true

I just hate the freepers insinuation that not wearing a "flag pin" makes someone not proud of the USA


and you know what...maybe it is somewhat true cause at the moment I AM not that proud of the US

but if they do the right thing on Nov 4, it will make me proud

5. Rush's influence

My niece spent the night with us Sturday. She's 9 and her mom (my sister) is a total Rush lover. I'm in the kitchen making dinner and I overhear this 9-year-old explaining to my daughter that "Obama wants to take peoples' money and give it to poor people who don't even work. And that's just not right!"

The crap that kids learn.

6. "Another anchor who has been wearing red, white and blue iconography..."

"...is Estha Trouw, co-anchor of the 10 p.m. new (sic) report on (Fox6 News) XETV/Channel 6."

As evidenced by the X (rather than K) in its call letters, San Diego-area Fox affiliate XETV is actually licensed to Tijuana, Mexico. :eyes:
