There might be something worth watching on American TV tonight: We’re going to do something different, something that we think is important. Friday night, we will show you the pictures, and Ted will read the names, of the men and women from the armed forces who have been killed in combat in Iraq. That’s it. It's a bit of a pain that ABC doesn't seem to be one of the American stations I can get on my cable TV, but I dare say some thirty seconds after it's broadcast some enterprising soul will have ripped it and put it up on the net.
It might be the only way some Americans are going to get to see the show as well, currently at the top of this page, is the news that Sinclair Broadcasting Group aren't going to run this edition of Nightline. It wouldn't fit in with their policy of ignoring all the death and destruction and presenting only the good things in Iraq. Still, at least they aren't claiming to be fair and balanced.
