ABC NEWS BANS FLAG LAPEL PINS    

Barbara Walters said that this was going to hurt ABC bad.  As you know she works for ABC .

This should make your blood boil...it DOES mine!

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 DEATH AND 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 ARE SLOWLY LOSING EVERYTHING OUR COUNTRY STANDS FOR AND EVERYTHING OUR MEN AND WOMEN FOUGHT AND DIED TO PRESERVE!
 

THIS HAS BEEN VERIFIED THROUGH:

It had been a long standing tradition of ALL major news networks not to have their on-air reporters have patriotic insignias, not just ABC.  After 911, some of the onair reporters began to "bend" the tradition.... ABC was singled out by many fervent right-wingers for having requested that its on-air journalists continue to respect the longstanding tradition as did the other networks.  However, there exists no rules forbidding any such display, rather it was a tradition.  However, please feel free to continue the boycott, gotta to have something to keep a bullseye on those that you disagree with.
