  committed to supplying objective information on events here and around the 
  world," wrote Pat Dolan, News 12 news director, in a memo banning on-air-flag 
  displays distributed to employees Sunday. Dolan became

  networks, both broadcast and cable, drench themselves in red, white and 
  blue. "We have to avoid giving a false impression that we lean 
  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. In an interview with Long Island's 
  Newsday, which reported News 12's flag ban in print editions only, Dolan 
  admitted the move has angered some of his employees. "We've 
  had a few heated discussions." But he stuck to his guns. "What 
  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." Dolan called the on-air flag waving 
  "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." Subcribers to New York media giant Cablevision, 
  which owns News 12 along with The Wiz, Radio City Music Hall, Madison Square

  Dolan's position. -- TO KEEP THE PEACE, KEEP

American Flag Banned on New York Cable Channel

While most Americans can't get enough of Old Glory in the wake of last week's 
terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, Cable News Channel 12 on New 
York's Long Island has actually banned the American flag from its airwaves.

Our office is a newsroom and news people are committed to supplying objective 
information on events here and around the world, wrote Pat Dolan, News 12 news 
director, in a memo banning on-air-flag displays distributed to employees Sunday.

Dolan became 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.

We have to avoid giving a false impression that we lean 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.

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

We've had a few heated discussions.

But he stuck to his guns. What 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.

Dolan called the on-air flag waving 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.

Subcribers to New York media giant Cablevision, 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.
