    I am boycotting ABC. These politically correct morons have made the decision not to allow their reporters or newscasters to wear American Flag lapel pins on the air as it may "offend" some of their more sensitive viewers.

    This is such a load of hooey. First of all, if it offends someone, they should turn the television off. They don't care anything about showing their support for American. They should change their name from the American Broadcasting Corporation to the Afghan Broadcasting Corporation.

    I'll bet if the executives who made this decision were held hostage by the Taliban they would be screaming for America - yet they are ashamed of it's flag.

    It was actually reported, rather gleefully by CNN, MSNBC, and CBS. Reuters also made the same decision, but as Reuters is not U.S. Based, I can't really point blame at them - ABC however, should not have the Gall to keep the name "American" in their company name if they continue with this. I am also writing them a letter via Planetfeedback.

    ABC has a newly developed red white and blue logo in the bottom right corner of the screen during programming...not sure why they would offend with a pin but not that....I think this may be a rumor but I will look to see if the news folk have RW&B ribbons or pins tonight.

    I noticed none last evening during both newscasts. I suspect it is one of the "political correctness" moves.

    Yep you are correct...now I see ABC has taken the RW&B ABC logo off, NBC still has their RW&B peacock.

    Notice that they don't care about offending you and me. They do that all the time. The only people whose feelings they care about are those who live in America yet hate it.
