Conspiracy

The collusion between the networks to slant news and black out stories was illustrated this AM for all to see. The most anticipated tennis match at the Wimbledon Tennis championships was the much hyped Agassi vs Nadal, a match that NBC had exclusive rights to telecast. The tennis match started at the same time as the World Cup game between England and Portugal, a soc cer game that was carried live by ABC.

Here's the conspiracy: ALL the networks not showing the tennis match; ABC, ESPN 1 and 2, plus a channel called ESPN News, blacked out the score of the completed Tennis match so NBC would have an audience. Of course all anyone with a computer had to do was pick up Drudge, Yahoo, or any local TV station to get the result while the roaring boring zero to zero soccer match was televised.

But that is not the point. The point is that these network "news" and "sports" networks conspire with one another to withhold a sports score. What makes any of you think they don't conspire on the news?

BTW; Superman is being shown in 3D IMAX in virtually every major city and country in the world EXCEPT the good old USA where only Austin TX is showing it. LA has three IMAX theatres but no Super Dooper Guy.

The closing FONT tag on your header "conspiracy" is broken. It's currently "/font>" without the opening '<' less-than sign. The rest of the page is in the same huge font because of that.
