Country singer Toby Keith has some choice words for Peter Jennings.
Toby Keith says the producer of an ABC 4th of July TV special rescinded an offer to have the country singer perform his current hit after the show's host, World News Tonight anchor Peter Jennings, heard the song and vetoed it.

Tell me, ABC, do you folks at the network do this on purpose, or are you just that monumentally dim?
From Jennings to Dan Blather?? Boy is he confused or what?
I'm sure FOX would be glad to have Toby Keith on. He's a great artist

"This nation that I love has fallen under attack
A mighty sucker punch came flyin' in from somewhere in the back
Soon as we could see clearly through our big black eye
Man, we lit up your world like the Fourth of July
Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty's started shakin' her fist
And the eagle will fly, and it's gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom start ringin' her bell
And it'll feel like the whole wide world is rainin' down on you
Brought to you courtesy of the Red, White & Blue
Justice will be served, and the battle will rage
This big dog will fight when you rattle his cage
And you'll be sorry that you messed with the U S of A
'Cause we'll put a boot in your ass - it's the American Way!"
Go get 'em, Toby.
xsmommy, "cute" is an understatement, eh? whew...
Not only that, but that song ROCKS!!!
American girls and American guys, will always stand up and salute.
We'll always recognize, when we see ol' glory flying,
There's a lot of men dead,
So we can sleep in peace at night when we lay down our heads.
My daddy served in the army where he lost his right eye,
But he flew a flag out in our yard 'til the day that he died.
He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me.
To grow up and live happy in the land of the free.
Now this nation that I love is fallin' under attack.
A mighty sucker-punch came flying in from somewhere in the back.
Soon as we could see clearly through our big black eye,
Man, we lit up your world like the fourth of July.
Hey, Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list,
And the Statue of Liberty started shaking her fist.
And the eagle will fly and it's gonna be hell,
When you hear Mother Freedom start ringing her bell.
And it'll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you.
Ah, brought to you, courtesy of the red, white and blue.
Instrumental break.
Oh, justice will be served and the battle will rage:
This big dog will fight when you rattle his cage.
An' you'll be sorry that you messed with the U.S. of A.
'Cos we'll put a boot in your ass, it's the American way.
Hey, Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list,
And the Statue of Liberty started shaking her fist.
And the eagle will fly and it's gonna be hell,
When you hear Mother Freedom start ringing her bell.
And it'll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you.
Ah, brought to you, courtesy of the red, white and blue.
Oh, oh.
Of the red, white and blue.
Oh, hey, oh.
Of my Red, White and Blue.
People also trusted commie lover Walter Cronkite for the same reasons. Many older people simply do not want cable even when they can afford it and are stuck with the TASS USA spin and get no exposure to anything else.
