PBS Gets Picky A Reporter Disses Halliburton, and Newshour Producers Decide His 15 Minutes of Airtime Are Up....

I watched that segment and it was fascinating. Both Parenti and Cole agreed down the line on just about every observation either one of them made. Suarez was at a complete loss since the usual format is to pit one `side' against another. There was no opposition. The occupation was fucked up and slowly deteriorating. The Halliburton comment went by un-noticed (by me) since it seemed common knowledge they were hosing the US military and government.

My guess is some Congressional seat or their staff called in about it. Who knows maybe the WH, DeLay or Abrams or somebody like that.
