ABC News will now air the 'killed' Robert Kennedy Jr. interview after all.

 

ABC statement: " Had anyone called us about your unsourced posting I

would have been glad to tell you that ABC News is hard at work on that

report. We will air when and if we deem it ready, as our audience

would expect. As for the rest of the post, at least as it pertains to

ABC and ABC News, there isn't a shred of truth. I think your source is

using you to try and influence us. That's ineffective, not to mention,

dishonest. "

 

HuffPost responds: 1) Our post is based only on people involved first

hand. 2) We stand behind our original story.

 

Previously, ABC corporate executives at the network's highest levels

ordered three interviews with Robert Kennedy Jr. pulled from ABC News

programming.

 

The interviews all centered around Mr. Kennedy's investigation of

thimerosal, a mercury based preservative, used in vaccines given to

children and believed to be responsible for increasing cases of

neurological diseases including autism.

 

Mr. Kennedy's interviews were slated for prime shows ABC World News

Tonight, 20/20, and Good Morning America. Salon.com and Rolling Stone

Magazine have exclusive rights to Mr. Kennedy's article and they

embargoed his story on other networks because of his arrangement with ABC.

 

Mr. Kennedy's article was published today only in Rolling Stone and on

Salon.com. The article links the CDC, FDA and Bill Frist to major drug

companies, including GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Wyeth, and Aventis

Pasteur that continued to include thimerosal in their vaccines despite

studies showing the damage – and death – it caused in humans. In the

1990s the CDC and FDA recommended three additional children's vaccines

laced with thimerosal, totaling twenty two federally recommended

immunizations.

 

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, who has received $873,000 from

pharmaceutical companies, tacked on the " Eli Lilly Protection Act " as

a rider to a 2002 homeland security bill. The protection act was later

repealed by Congress after a public outcry. Senator Frist is making

another attempt to harbor big pharmaceuticals from families with

infected children. He is appropriating the war on terror again by

attaching a provision to the " Protecting America in the War On Terror "

bill introduced to Congress this past January.

 

A 2001 Emory University Study watched ABC, CBS, and NBC in the Atlanta

area for one week and found 907 advertisements for over-the-counter

drugs and 428 advertisements for prescription drugs.
