not again

I hope this isn't a tinfoil hat story, but there are reports that in some areas of Alabama last night the 60 Minutes special on the political witchhunt of former Governor Don Siegelman was blacked out on Channel 19. From the article: "Channel 19 is owned by Oak Hill Capital Partners, who can be contacted through Rhonda Barnat, 212-371-5999 or rb@abmac.com . Oak Hill Partners represents interests of the Bass family, which contribute heavily to the Republican Party. Viewers displeased about the channel’s decision to censor the broadcast should express their views directly to the station management or to the owners."
