[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] Exactly, Ritten. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cartman: [qb] "I can see both reasons for and against this kind of show, but as long as soldiers are dying daily, its all a bit premature." It's premature for people to know the unadulterated truth? Namely that the war in and occupation of Iraq aren't as clean and neat and spotless as BushAd would have them believe? Premature because the deaths havent stopped: all this does (besides pander to those that already oppose the war) is to briefly mention a name and not mention none of the person. They'll re-run this to death as casualties mount and conviently avoid all the living breathing servicemen/women that know they're making a real diffrence (regardless of how botched the whole operation is becoming). [quote] Originally posted by Jay: [QB]I'm not na�ve enough to think that self-censorship doesn't happen all the time with our lap-dog press corps, but there is more than one way to look at this broadcast, and it's just plain wrong for Sinclair Broadcast Group to make that decision for 24% of America.[/qb] [/QUOTE]How exactly is it making any decision for 24% of america? You think that 24% of America would actually be watching Nightline? That figure is just the percentage of americans served by Sinclair: not the actual Nightline viewers. That's literally millions upon millions more viewers than Nightline is likely to ever draw on any night. There's the [i]potential[/i] to deprive those viewers from seeing the broadcast, but if all those millions really wanted to see the program, Sinclair would have to bow to the viewer demand or forfit an incredible marketshare and really piss off his advertisers that paid to run their commercials on Nightline.
