Goodbye Ted
ABC Nightline's Ted Koppel bid a farewell today after 25 years of anchoring the late night news show. PNAM is pleased to see Mr. Koppel's resignation after months of shows depicting the Iraq war in a negative light, in particular the shows where he simply read the names of the U.S. troops killed in Iraq. Mr. Koppel clearly did not step in line with the Bush administration's agenda, and for that reason the American people are much better off not hearing Mr. Koppel's constant voice of dissent. PNAM reminds all Americans that the duty of American broadcasting networks is to carry the voice of the Bush adminstration. Nothing less is acceptable as the country spreads American Christian morals and values across the globe. In contrast, the New York Times reporter Judith Miller said it best as she wrote a series of pro-invasion articles in 2003, "My job isn't to offer critical reporting, but rather to report what is being said by the administration." Ms. Miller's patriotic job was done by carrying the WMD facade for invading Iraq. PNAM is confident that Ms. Miller's numerous articles were enough to convince many Americans to support George Bush in his Christian crusade in the Middle East. Unfortunately, Mr. Koppel failed to do his similar duty as an American.
