Sinclair
A lot has been written about this already, but I just have one thought.
One of the reasons the Sinclair folks have desperately latched onto to defend their censorship of this tribute is that ABC isn't also reading the names of the 9/11 victims. Well, I suppose there would be two reasons for that. One is that ABC has already done that. More importantly, what the hell do the 9/11 victims have to do with Iraq? We have no evidence Iraq was involved in 9/11. We can't even prove it ever had a connection to al qaeda. But I guess when the people who run our news stations insist on connecting the two anyway, can I really blame people for not knowing that?
