The World Net Daily website reports today (June 20, 2011) that NBC's opening of the U.S. Open Golf Championship yesterday included two readings of the Pledge of Allegiance by children, but on both occasions -- and most likely with the insistence of NBC -- the children omitted the phrase "under God" both times.
The omission did not go unnoticed by viewers. In fact, NBC was flooded with complaints because -- later in the broadcast -- announcer Dan Hicks apologized on behalf of the network, claiming the omission had no malicious intent.
Keith Hendrick -- one viewer of the Golf Championship who commented on the omission -- said, "There is no question these executives at NBC who hate God...pushed this message through."
Mark Sass -- another viewer -- said, "I changed the channel... and I'm going to begin boycotting NBC and their advertisers, both nationally and locally."
