A bit more on ABC's O&Os, the local affiliates who are actually owned and operated by ABC parent company Disney. Here's the list of all of them. But the rest -- listed here -- are independently owned. They don't have to run the ABC 9/11 bamboozler if they don't want to.

Just to remind everyone, think back to the Sinclair Broadcasting imbroglio. Petitions don't mean jack. They don't care. Local affiliates, though, live and die by the revenue they get from local advertisers. It's a really big deal.

So take a look at the list of independent affiliates. And just ask them what they're going to do. No need to be rude or unpleasant. It's just a question. If you get a response, let us know and we'll share it with the rest of our readers.
