My wife just informed me that MJ Kelly, of the MJ Morning Show, broadcast in Tampa and St. Louis, just stated that Tampa's television Channel 8 (an NBC affiliate) has forbidden their on-air tv personalities to wear red, white, and blue ribbons, because they're (the station) going to question Bush's actions.
Has anyone else heard this?

This type of action is usually one of the initial steps to creating public discontent with any administration action, and is de-moralizing to our troops, and unpatriotic.
Has anyone else heard anything like this going on? Sounds like a free-fest is needed.

that is, a freep-fest, if this is true.

Ah, the boll weevils emerge. If they have a problem with president Bush, they could save that for an editorial.
Oh, wait, I'm sorry, this is NBC, where editorials pass as the news.
As a youth, I recall television stations had a 2 minute spot where citizens could respond to the station's editorial. That practice is long gone.

I just checked Channel 8 and nobody is wearing patriotic symbols. This channel is near McDill air base at Tampa, so that makes it doubly offensive! Let the fire begin!
To: mystery-ak
Keep us updated, I am ready and willing to e-mail or call. or both! This behavior has to stop.

Media General Corp. @ TBO.com was just shown on their show closing. Apparently this "newscast" is on from 5 to 7.

>>...because they're (the station) going to question Bush's actions.
He hasn't done anything yet (Bush).
And I hope Bush elimantes the governments of Iraq and Iran (and thereby the oil-based funding of terrorism) and confiscates oil income to give to the victims and pay for the damages here. Probably can skip Afghanistan.

Station is www.WFLA.com

IF this is true...but there have been so many rumors out there...I would verify this and others before jumping the gun.
PLEASE remember that there are people out there who are once again trying to divide this country and will take whatever measures necessary....

WFLA.com will get you there. I never did like Channel 8. Something very smarmy there all along back to the '60s.

What in the he*l is going on in Florida?
NCII, the company which banned the employees from dispaying the flag, was located in Boca Raton, Florida. The school where the superintendent refused to allow the children to wear the flag was from somewhere in Florida. The firehouse where they refused to allow the fireman to fly the flag on the firetruck was from Miami-Dade. Now Channel 8 in Tampa with this crap. Please tell me what the he*l has happened in Florida???
I guess I never really liked Florida much, now I know why......

Yep wfla channel 8 in Tampa, I was just about to post a link o their contact page. JH2 do us a favor and use that ping list time to Rock and Roll.

He hasn't done anything yet (Bush). I believe that is the definition of prejudice. They won't like what Bush does no matter what. From the sound of it, it, they not only dislike Bush, but dislike America.

GANG: TIME OUT!!! IF I verify this is true (my friend does not get in until 10 a.m.) I can probably get some very private email addresses and maybe even a certain station manager's cell phone number. UNTIL THEN, please take a pill. But if true, I shall personally carry the flag for

Also known as the war on the PC police and the left.

Obviously we need to verify this. In the case that the information is accurate, here is the contact information:
