Media working day and night to cut down on LATimes:Sinclair has told its stations — many of them in political swing states such as Ohio and Florida — to air "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal," sources said. The film, funded by Pennsylvania veterans and produced by a veteran and former Washington Times reporter, features former POWs accusing Kerry [he was in Viet Nam, you know...] of worsening their ordeal by prolonging the war. ...."It's not the American way for powerful corporations to strong-arm local broadcasters to air lies promoting a political agenda," said David Wade, a spokesman for the Democratic nominee's campaign. "It's beyond yellow journalism; ..."
*snork*
...Station and network sources said they have been told the Sinclair stations — which include affiliates of Fox, ABC, CBS, NBC, as well as WB and UPN — will be preempting regular programming for one hour between Oct. 21 and Oct. 24, depending on the city. The airing of "Stolen Honor" will be followed by a panel discussion, which Kerry will be asked to join, thus potentially satisfying fairness regulations, the sources said.
...think he'll show? With his signed 180 in hand? and pigs flying outta his ...ears? "Whoa, TeRAYzha -- there'll be bacon in the trees by morning!"
..."I can't think of a precedent of holding up programming to show a political documentary at a point where it would have the maximum effect on the vote," said Jay Rosen, chairman of New York University's journalism department.
Gee, if I think really really hard maybe *I* can... Gimmie a minute... *tick*tick*tick*tick*tick*tick*
Representatives of Michael Moore's anti-Bush "
FahrenheitFat'n'Hate 9/11," which has grossed $214 million worldwide, are in talks for a deal to make the film available on pay-per-view cable the night before the election. The Sundance Channel plans to air live clips Monday from the anti-Bush "Vote for Change" rock concert.
Yep, non-biased, fair and to-the-bone, Joe Friday, "Just the facts ma'm" reporting. And if'n we don't hang these varmints from the highest tree, we're just as damn dumb as they think we are.
Claire, Some relevant wisdom from the memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant:
“Experience proves that the man who obstructs a war in which his nation is engaged, no matter whether right or wrong, occupies no enviable place in life or history. Better for him, individually, to advocate ‘war, pestilence, and famine’ than to act as obstructionist to a war already begun. The history of the defeated rebel will be honorable hereafter, compared with that of the Northern man who aided him by conspiring against his government while protected by it. The most favorable posthumous history the stay-at-home traitor can hope for is - oblivion.”
By the way Claire, did you do post a comment on LaShawnBarber.Com’s “Grace and You” post. If you did, it was awesome and I want to here more about your religious (or maybe it’s non-religious) thoughts on the nature of man.
Sounds heavy doesn’t it. Now if you want to include women too…

Thank your for the Grant quote—very interesting.
