This is what we get from the present attitudes in Washington.

YESTERDAY THE BRASS AT ABC NEWS
ISSUED ORDERS FORBIDDING REPORTERS TO
WEAR LAPEL PIN AMERICAN FLAGS OR OTHER PATRIOTIC INSIGNIA.
THEIR REASONING WAS THAT ABC SHOULD REMAIN NEUTRAL ABOUT 'CAUSES'.

well well well the true colors are sloppy in how abc really is a brainwashing agency bought and paid for by the international banksters and the elite families who own all the assets by liens, loans with compound interest by increase the profit by what 300%, and private nor the public can ever pay off the loans and deeds so the elite own us as debt slaves one way or another. the nerve of the next step of these monster Nazi elite is to try and convince us that it is for our own good to just obey without questions, like good dumb down slaves and believe this imposter obummer that he is the holy one with untouchable integrity and honesty for the best interest of the human race, what a sham.
I'm surprised that as someone who understands the truth about the control system, you don't recognize the inherent problems with Statism and Patriotism. Your loyalty should be to the IDEAS of the founding fathers instead of the country that currently controls your life.
FALSE!

This is not true. Do a google search and see for yourselves.
Follow the link at the bottom of the article and you can see that the article is from February 2002. I pointed this out in an earlier post today but it wasn't approved by John. We'll see if this post gets approved. BTW, there were no comments when I posted earlier.
Please note that when the message above says ABC News banned flag lapel pins "yesterday," it's referring to a date in 2001. This was not a recent event.
And although it's true that ABC News instituted such a ban shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the network's stated reasons were more cogent than what is indicated above. According to ABC spokesman Jeffrey Schneider, the network saw it as necessary to protect its reporters' credibility, as well as their personal safety abroad.
"We cannot signal through outward symbols how we feel, even if the cause is justified," he said in a statement to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "Overseas, it could be perceived that we're just mouthpieces for the U.S. government, and that can place our journalists in danger."
ABC was the only major network to set such a policy. It was applauded by some as a sign of integrity and derided by others as an attempt to stifle patriotism. As Washington Post media reporter Howard observed, the issue generated a good deal of ambivalence in the journalistic profession as a whole. "There are passionate views on both sides of this question," he said in a September 2001 commentary on CNN. "Journalists are patriots who love their country, and are horrified by these attacks, but many believe it's simply inappropriate for them to engage in flag-waving on the air."

Regardless of which stand they took, every journalist who came down on one side of the issue or the other saw the decision as a matter of conscience. In the aftermath of 9/11, Meet the Press host Tim Russert chose to wear a red, white, and blue ribbon on camera. Other NBC anchors, including Matt Lauer and Katie Couric, did not. At Fox News, Britt Hume and others proudly sported American flag lapel pins. Bill O'Reilly did not.
