    "My country. America! That is it. We have been so intent on death that we have forgotten life. And now suddenly life faces us. I swear to myself that I will measure up to it. I may be branded by war, but I will not be overcome by it. Gradually it becomes clear. I will go back. I will find the kind of girl of whom I once dreamed. I will learn to look at life through uncynical eyes, to have faith, to know love. I will learn to work in peace as in war. And finally - finally, like count-less others, I will learn to live again." - Audie Murphy

    If you were employed by Countrywide Financial as a mortgage loan officer, processor, originator, specialist or consultant and believe you did not receive all the wages and overtime pay you are owed, you might want to contact some overtime class action attorneys:

    how you slide from "bad" to "evil."

    But yes, it is bad for broadcasters to tell viewers they're getting news when they're really getting advertising. Do you like it when you're told you're getting one thing and it turns out to be something else? Or maybe you just don't care what's going on in the world around you? Because if the PR people had their way, "news" programs would just carry all their stuff all the time, and if that left viewers with no news in at all in their news shows, well, hey! The market has spoken.

    Here's an idea to tickle your entrepreneurial spirit: Why not start your own PR cable channel? I don't doubt it'd get plenty of viewers, even with full disclosure. That would be the honest way to do it.

    So PR handouts posing as "news" are bad, huh? Are you ready to condemn ALL such scams as "evil"? Ugly George is poisonally acquainted with the Film Lab owner who in 1960 took in Big Bucks from shifty Jos P. Kennedy to develop, print & distribute "spot news" film clips of his little boy John to news-starved little stations all over (just like Ch.29) to 'fill out' their boring evening newscasts. There was NO disclosure of their $$ source. Sen.Wellstone is watching to see if you print this.

    No ambivalence. The addendum was to point out PM/Altria's motives for withdrawing the funds. As with money the company gives, funds it withdraws also have a political purpose. Anne Landman
