| #10 ABC and other outlets could easily have arranged for American soldiers to be killed far enough in advance that their funerals would fall on inauguration day. I wouldn't put it past the swine. I have proposed a new acronym at LGF-- MATE (Media Are the Enemy). This would naturally lead to check-MATE. |

| #9 What a bunch of scumbags. Actually, "scumbags" is too mild a word for them, but I can't think of what would be worse. Hey, MSM, how about honoring our war dead BY SUPPORTING THE WAR???? |

| #7 My Response: How about you honor the fallen Mainstream Medias 'honor'. This is nothing shorting of disgusting. YOU MAKE ME SICK!! Using a family's grief to attack the president on his inargulation day is pretty sick. And, no, I dont beleve for a second that you are doing this to 'honor the fallen'. Why on this day? To embarass the president of course. Why dont you honor the fallen by showing all the progress which has been made in Iraq? You, PETER JENNINGS AND COMPANY are a bunch of vultures. Thank god we (people) dont have to go to you liars to get our news anymore. |

| #6 I responded to their request as follows: Name: Chuck U Farley Phone number: 800-382-5968 (800-FUCK-YOU) E-mail: biteme@yahoo.com Message: This is a pretty classy move. Using a family's pain to take a shot at the President on the day of his inauguration. |

| #5 Any particular reason that ABC feels it necessary to follow CBS into the mud? |

| #3 Families who believe - and will say - that they are proud of their dead son/daughter who died doing what they believe in and to protect America need not apply. |
