60 Minutes 2 not being shown in Baton Rouge |
|
Instead we're seeing a four-year-old feature on the St. Jude Hospital.
I sent the local affiliate an email of protest. I tried to call their number but it was busy, probably purposely left off the hook in advance of the onslaught to come.

2. If you want to drop them a line |

. . . here's the person in charge of programming: kkedroske@wafb.com
Their phone number is constantly busy. Probably off the hook.

5. They were also lying to people who called to ask about it |
|
A friend posted to an internet board just now saying that she was assured WAFB would NOT be censoring 60 Minutes tonight. Now we see it was a blatant lie.
Typical WAFB.

It's shown on their website programming grid. There's no clue that it was going to be pre-empted.
Meanwhile WAFB has a loooooooooooooong history of giving assistance to Republicans in their news coverage.

7. We got it in Lafayette.... |

How do you like the television station deciding what you can and cannot watch? It reminds me of book burning and book banning---so you don't get contaminated with the propaganda. If enough of you in Baton Rouge protest the station with crowds and signs and complaints and letters to the editor of the Advocate, they will think twice about censoring your right to watch what you choose to. Their attitude is probably that they were doing it for your own good. Big Brother tactics ---boy, this country is in huge trouble. Get in touch with your local DEM party group there in BR and plan an action! I'm sorry you didn't get to see it, it was awesome.
