I work just up the road from Sinclair Broadcasting headquarters, and the air is thick with self-righteousness.....oh, wait, McCormick Spice company is processing garlic. Sorry. Adam,

I spent last weekend with my friend who got back 3 weeks ago. He told some interesting stories, some funny, some sad. Some of his soldiers got wounded very bad but he brought all of them home alive. It's sad indictment of our current political state of affairs when both sides of the arguement are worried about the other using the sacrifice and death of US service personel as political footballs.

I think it's only by reducing each life to a tiny symbol, like a name, and showing how very many of those snippets of lives stacked up there really are, that the enormity of the deaths begins to become real. Sounds like "Nightline" has hit on the same concept.

One of my best friends worked for them for a few years at their KC, MO station. They are without a doubt the most greedy, inept, anti-labor motherfuckers ever put on the face of the earth. The staggering arrogance of Sinclair management combined with piss-poor pay has ensured that the many people I knew who worked there have left. Also, Sinclair was the reason that Bill Maher got fired after 9/11. They are the ones that threw the shit-fit. The assholes running Sinclair Broadcasting are pig-fuckers of the first order.

As Bush and now Sinclair have shown, Disney and all its innocent furry friends have come out on the side of the terrorists. Communist bastards! Yeah Mickey, I'm talking to you! Adam,

Nightline presents conservative view, only to be censored by the liberal media. I ... I mean...

Wouldn't want to remind anyone of those war dead, either. And since I live in Winston-Salem. I'll be tuning in to the Charlotte ABC station. Think of it as "Radio Free Carolina" I guess this means Sinclair won’t be giving its employees Memorial Day off. Wouldn’t want to remind anyone of those war dead, either.
