American Flag Banned on New York Cable Channel

Americans can't get enough of Old Glory in the wake of last week's terrorist

displays distributed to employees Sunday.

concerned when American flags began popping up in his newsroom and -- horrors
-- even on the lapels of some of his anchors. Meanwhile all the other
networks, both broadcast and cable, drench themselves in red, white and
blue.

one way or the other," said the news director, who's apparently trying to
strike a balance between his fellow Americans and the terrorists who have
vowed to kill them.

Newsday, which reported News 12's flag ban in print editions only, Dolan
admitted the move has angered some of his employees.

we're trying to do is make clear that our guys can express their patriotism,
but we don't want the flag to be associated with their daily activities as
electronic journalists."

"a real problem when war breaks out," explaining that he doesn't want his
viewers to get the impression that "we may subtly endorse what the government
is doing."

which owns News 12 along with The Wiz, Radio City Music Hall, Madison Square
Garden, the Knicks and the Rangers, will undoubtedly be interested to learn of
Dolan's position.
