...fight began on Jan. 10, when A.M.A. Executive Vice President Ernest B. Howard sent a protest letter to NBC President Julian Goodman. Howard attacked what he called the program's "frequent inaccuracy and overall bias," pointing out 29 instances in which NBC had, by the A.M.A.'s standards, distorted the truth.
