ABC Flips: To Now Air 'Killed' Robert Kennedy Jr. Interview.
Edited on Fri Jun-17-05 04:47 PM by Merlin
ABC News will now air the 'killed' Robert Kennedy Jr. interview after all.

ABC statement: “Had anyone called us abut your unsourced posting I would have been glad to tell you that ABC News is hard at work on that report. We will air when and if we deem it ready, as our audience would expect. As for the rest of the post, at least as it pertains to ABC and ABC News, there isn't a shred of truth. I think your source is using you to try and influence us. That's ineffective, not to mention, dishonest.”

HuffPost responds: 1) Our post is based only on people involved first hand. 2) We stand behind our original story.

Previously, ABC corporate executives at the network's highest levels ordered three interviews with Robert Kennedy Jr. pulled from ABC News programming.

The interviews all centered around Mr. Kennedy's investigation of thimerosal, a mercury based preservative, used in vaccines given to children and believed to be responsible for increasing cases of neurological diseases including autism.

Apparently they don't yet know what this reversal by ABC means as to when the interview will air.

RFK Jr. is a phenomenal spokesperson. If only he hadn't had that drug episode, he'd be in contention for POTUS.
