Scientology Spokesman Attempts to Kill Nightline Story

Last week we blogged about Scientology Spokesman Tommy Davis’s combative interview with Nightline’s Martin Bashir which ended in a walk off. According to Page 6 today, Davis returned to ABC shortly before airtime, and tried to get package pulled. The walk-off could have been planned, but storming ABC News studios shows the Church’s inability to understand the basics of broadcast. And it looks like someone at ABC dropped a dime on Davis and called in the tip.
