soup Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Sign of the times? We were asked to bid on a project, we submitted our bid with both pay rates and bill rates per the rfp. Met with the potential client yd, he claimed our margins were extremely competitive ( I think the most competetive) yet our pay rates to the employees were too high. Granted this is basic office/clerical, but there is pressure on wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zensmoke Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 (CBS/AP) A major owner of U.S. television stations has ordered its eight ABC affiliates to drop a "Nightline" broadcast in which the name of every American soldier killed in Iraq will be read aloud. Â Sinclair, a Hunt Valley, Md.-based media company whose holdings include 62 TV stations, said the "Nightline" program "appears to be motivated by a political agenda designed to undermine the efforts of the United States in Iraq." Â The company called the broadcast a political statement "disguised as news content," saying that the program omits "the names of thousands of private citizens killed in terrorist attacks" since Sept. 11. Â ABC said its news division had reported "hundreds of stories on 9-11" while noting that, on the first anniversary of that tragedy, it aired the victims' names. Â Friday's "Nightline" broadcast "simply seeks to honor those who have laid down their lives for this country," ABC said. Â During the broadcast, anchorman Ted Koppel will read aloud the name of a U.S. service man or woman killed in the Iraq war, as a corresponding photo appears on the screen along with that person's name, military branch, rank and age. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/04/30/...ain614916.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that as more and more media outlets fall into the hands of fewer and fewer owners---we will see more of this type of political censorship.
