If memory serves, Sinclair refused to air the edition of Nightline when Ted Koppel read the names of soldiers who had died in Iraq.

Also, we're hearing that at least some program managers at local ABC affiliates around the country are planning to run rebuttal segments and/or panel with a mix of terrorism experts to add 'balance' or least deflect some criticism.
