I'd say boycott ABC, but I have not seen it since McMillan and Wife was cancelled.

Can you believe this?

Yet some people still insist that we live in a Democracy with freedom of speech.

Clearly,

ABC's corporate powers that be, must believe that the United States of America is "No Country for Homosexuals"

It's insulting, ridiculous and smacks of veiled (or not so veiled) censorship.

12,000,000 heads exploded in rural America when they discovered that the best movie they've seen in years was produced by a homosexual.


To prevent further loss of life, they excised all mention from the transcript.

He's good enough to do business with and get rich with. But can he be a human being as well? Sorry. Neocon ABC had decided that you're a threat to society.

Now this was just stupid of ABC.

Once an organization feels comfortable in being caught employing censorship anywhere, it is usually a sign that the practice is rampant throughout the organization - witness this Administration.

How is America supposed to trust ABC's news broadcasts and documentaries, now?

ABC, I'm really disappointed in you. If you're going to start editing 'objectionable' content out of for fear that it may offend your conservative watchers.

I'm sorry, is this ABC broadcasting the Oscars, or Fox News?
