Russia Won't Renew ABC-TV's Accreditation
Russia's Foreign Ministry said Tuesday it will not renew permission for ABC-TV to operate in the country after the network broadcast an interview with a notorious Chechen warlord. In a statement, the ministry said ABC would be considered "undesirable" by all Russian state agencies because of an interview with Shamil Basayev, which was broadcast last week on "Nightline."I'm with the Rooskies on this. One man's genocidal mass-murdering sociopath is *not* another man's Emmy award-winning telecast. For shame, ABC. |
