I just finished writing a truly nasty e-mail to some poor webmaster at D.C.'s ABC affiliate. As someone who's usually on the receiving end of these e-mails, I know they're not wholly enjoyable -- but for heaven's sake, the damn channel canceled "Politically Incorrect" after the whole controversy about what's-his-name's "coward" remark. (This article explains it. Disclaimer: I do NOT like Arianna Huffington and I would never vouch for her journalistic competency, ethical veracity or unbiased presentation of anything. But it's pretty hard to argue with the facts in this case.) I don't watch the show, but the principle -- and precedent -- of this is pretty unbelievable.
