ABC News Bans Lapel Flag Pins, more PC from the left?

Question

Yesterday ABC News issued orders forbidding reporters to wear lapel flag pins or any other patriotic insignia. Their reasoning was that ABC should remain neutral about "causes". Since when is patriotism to be discouraged? I say boycott ABC and its sponsors. We are slowly losing everything our country stands for and everything our men and women fought and died to preserve. Political correctness has raised it's ugly head again.

Maybe you should have done some research before cutting and pasting the email you got? All that's reared its ugly head here is a righties inability to check (and understand) the facts if her buttons are pushed.
