1. Thank God. A good side story to bash Sinclair with during this
whole fiasco.

2. stock dropped 8% today....
if you don't like civil liberties...does the bottom line mean anything? (Satirical rhetorical question, of course...)

4. I hope he gets a job! Surely someone else will pick him up, since he's
a man with integrity and values? I hope!

8. SunuvaBITCH!
That didn't take long. Heard about his statement at noon and his profile was still up on his page, long enough for me to write in and give him a pat on the back. Home this evening... GONE.

effing BASTIDS!

Anyone know this guy? Anyway we can help him out somehow?

9. Is it me or is this all starting to fall apart around them?
Stock is dropping, advertisers are pulling out, they fired their Washington Bureau Chief because he didn't agree with it, O'Neill made an ass of himself on Nightline...

Even to the biased eye, this appears to be blowing up in their face.

10. Hmmmm....
This line was perhaps the most hypocritical bit of nonsense I've heard the past three months:

"Sinclair in a statement late Monday said that 'we are disappointed that Jon's political views caused him to violate company policy and speak to the press about company business.'"

I'm disappointed that these lunatic's political views caused them to be such huge morons.
