In Reply To: You think mentioning Lin Sue Cooney's name in a promo is grounds for a character defamation suit? What if Dana says he likes Cooney? Isn't that promoting the competition? I give KPHO credit for cutting to the chase regarding Howard Dean's recent visit to the Valley - the fact that The Guv was noticeably absent, citing a "scheduling conflict." Ha. Playing to liberals, running with CNN-Newsweek-60 Minutes Wednesday type of administration-bashing stories in this market is simply bad business, given how the state voted last November. Sweeps wars. Gotta love 'em, that's all.
Message: And what makes anyone think Ms. Cooney wasn't aware of the promo/stunt before it started running? 12 is doing the right thing -ignore the promo. To react plays right into 5's hands. Let's see what the numbers are Tuesday morning.
