ABC television coverage[edit]

I've trimmed the "ABC television coverage" section. This is the "2005 Indianapolis 500" article, so criticism of ABC Sports/Todd Harris unrelated to the 2005 500 are not relevant to the article, and I've removed those bits. (When you have a "2005 Indianapolis 500" subheading in the "2005 Indianapolis 500" article, something's not right.) I've also removed bits which appeared to be uncited and/or OR.

During the page's expansion, I revisted that section again. It appeared that it was cut & pasted (or vice versa) from/to Criticism of ESPN. A lot of it was difficult to verify, so I deleted several statements. At the same time, I was able to confirm and verify the existance of several of the lines. In addition, the quotes from the broadcast itself were also verified. I took the time to properly reference the entire section. I think it's been improved.

Also, for a while there, it seemed that the article was going down the street of "biased towards Danica," or "dwelling the whole time about Danica," so I made certian the other events of the month and race are being documented. However, it would not be becoming of the article to ignore that Danica was the preveiling story of the entire month. I think a fair balance is being created.
