At another blog (LGF), they posted a response from NBC received when some of the members emailed them. They said they didn't write or authorize the email -- what they did NOT say was that the email was a pile of crap.
Another poster advised that NBC lost its contract to air NASCAR and that it would be carried by ABC instead. Works for me, since I think NBC does a crap job of race coverage next to that of Fox. I barely watch the races after Sears Point when NBC does them. I never miss a minute when D.W. and the boys are in the booth.

For your background information, please note that: "Dateline" is looking into this story. We were intrigued by the results of a recent Washington Post/ABC News poll and other articles regarding increasing anti-Muslim sentiments in the United States. It's very early on in our newsgathering process, but be assured we will be visiting a number of locations across the country and are confident that our reporting team is pursuing this story in a fair manner. We did not write or authorize Tarek El-Messidi's email. Thanks, Jenny |
