Wonkette's television and broadcast operative has a beef with Lisa de Moraes's WP TV Column on the "Nightline" fallen soldiers roll call, set for tomorrow night. "Nightline" exec producer, Leroy Sievers, said that the move is the program's attempt to "remind our viewers -- whether they agree with the war or not -- that beyond the casualty numbers, these men and women are serving in Iraq in our names, and that those who have been killed have names and faces." De Moraes's critique: Sievers's explanation was "good to know, otherwise we might be left thinking that Friday's broadcast, which ABC will simulcast on its Jumbotron in New York's Times Square, is a cheap, content-free stunt designed to tug at our heartstrings and bag a big number on the second night of the May ratings race." So subtle we could have written it ourselves.
