60 Minutes Exposé

Did you know that a recent 60 minutes exposé about shady politics in Alabama is supposedly blocked for airing in Alabama? One blogger tells the tale here.

NOW LISTENING: silence
You should be able to read the story without a Suicide girls membership, but if you want a membership anyway, you can get one here.

Re 60 Minutes Exposé

I'm one of the last people to be an Alabama apologist, but one station hardly qualifies as "Alabama wasn't able to watch the report". And Mobile is all the way at the other end of the state from Huntsville, there is no way that Mobile didn't get the broadcast because of WHNT. I haven't heard anything about any but the one station dropping the original broadcast.

Re 60 Minutes Exposé

Melanie, could it be the "local" station that satellite pulls in? If that's the case, then it would have been a slew of people who didn't get to see it. I'm often amused by what DirecTV considers "local."

Re 60 Minutes Exposé

No idea. I don't know anything about satellite and all that. All I know is that Huntsville is not too far from the TN border - while Mobile is down in the Gulf. WAY far apart.

Re 60 Minutes Exposé

I think the point is not how effective the attempted suppression of the broadcast was, but whether or not it was intentional. If it was intentional, I doubt it will be a popular story with the usual and most vocal critics of perceived media bias.

Re 60 Minutes Exposé

Oh, I don't doubt at all it was intentional. I don't believe in coincidences THAT huge outside of divine intervention.

Re 60 Minutes Exposé

WHNT’s remarkably timed ‘technical problems’

All just an honest mistake.
