In the wake of Disney's decision to follow through on pulling WABC-TV from Cablevision systems, the e-mails were flying in Washington, with calls for government to step in if necessary to bring the parties together.

John Kerry (D-Mass.), chairnman of the Sen. Communications Subcommittee, renewed his call for Washington to step in, as well as telling the two sides to work something out, rather than make "collateral damage" of viewers. But he did not put the blame on ABC, as he seemed to do in a letter to FCC chairman Julius Genachowski last week urging a resolution of the impasse.

In that letter he had said he didn't think ABC should be able to pull the signal without some FCC finding that Cablevision had bargained in bad faith.

But in Sunday's statement, he pointed no fingers. He said that ABC had pulled the signal because it could not agree with Cablevision on the value, and added that it is "neither my place nor my goal to pick sides in this dispute."

Was it the mullah in Helmand or the dictator in Tehran looking to increase his hoard of twitter followers. If you come across adsense ads like this do you click them, just to see where thay take you and your computer?

Let me know if you have seen these in your travels along the interwebs as well.
