If all of this doesn't sniff of a Communist regime snuffing out the dissenters It only gets better with Alabama TV Station WHNT who mysteriously "lost" the CBS feed, GOSH right when the Siegelmen segment began! And of course the techs working tirelessly couldn't get the signal back until the segment was over ( right at 6:12 pm!). So those folks over at WHNT solved the problem by showing the show (or bury it ) on the late night news - 10:15 pm.
Well that's what Stan Pylant, President and GM of WHMT CHannel 19 said in his statement, except CBS response was that it is simply not true:
CBS News – which owns 60 Minutes – denied any problem on their end.
Scott Horton of Harper’s magazine reported late last night that CBS was directly pointing back at the local outlets as the cause of the problem.
"I contacted CBS News in New York and was told that 'there is no delicate way to put this: the WHNT claim is not true. There were no transmission difficulties. The problems were peculiar to Channel 19, which had the signal and had functioning transmitters.' I was told that the decision to blacken screens across Northern Alabama 'could only have been an editorial call.'
AN EDITORIAL CALL. From the station that is owned by the Oak Hill Capital Partners, which is owned by the Bass Brothers, a major "Pioneer" Fundraiser and supporters of the Bush Administration besides bail out support for failed Bush Energy Venture Spectrum 7.
But wait! Bonus suppression, political malfeasance and government meddling with this story including White House pressure on CBS to kill the story, Journalists attacked and whistle blower Dana Jill Simpson testifying under oath to Congress as to Rove's involvement having her house mysteriously catching fire after coming forward.
Dear God! Political prisoners, government manipulation, suppression of the Media and Free Speech, fear tactics and on and on. Isn't this why we have trade embargos with Cuba?
Make sure you let WHNT know that you won't stand for suppressing truth:
