Kerry Backfire: New TV Stations Want to Air Vietnam Film (WHOOHOOO!!)
newsmax ^

Posted on 10/13/2004 7:34:33 AM PDT by LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget

Complaints against the Sinclair Broadcasting network by John Kerry's presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee may have backfired, with non-Sinclair TV stations now expressing an interest in airing the documentary "Stolen Honor," which chronicles the candidate's role in the anti-Vietnam War movement.

"A few other TV stations around the country have contacted the producer of this documentary as well," Sinclair spokesman Mark Hyman told nationally syndicated radio host G. Gordon Liddy on Tuesday. "So there appears to be some growing interest in making this available to the nation's viewers."

Hyman said that Sinclair's decision to air the documentary was driven in part by a desire to pick up the slack from other broadcast networks, which have increasingly shunned news coverage in favor of entertainment programming. Referring the 13 Vietnam-era POWs who appear in "Stolen Honor" criticizing Kerry for protesting the war alongside the likes of anti-American actress Jane Fonda, Hyman told Liddy, "If anybody has earned the right to be heard on the subject of Vietnam, it's these men, who suffered such horrific abuse and unspeakable torture."

"For 31 years John Kerry has run away from that," he added.

Hyman said that while the exact format for the broadcast has yet to be determined, Sinclair has invited Kerry to give his side of the story after the broadcast.

Makes sense to me. A lot of people would want to hear what these heros have to say. When you hire a president during a war you have to remember you are entrusting the lives of our best and brightest to his care. He needs to be someone you can trust.

I'll put more stock in such an occurrence if a legitimate source (read: not Newsmax) reports it.

That the question was asked, or that Kerry's camp refused to answer? Or both? :)

He DID refuse!! Saw it on O'Reilly last night (yeah...I know...).

LOL!!!!

After threatening Sinclair, kerry spokeman Chad Clanton told Linda Vester yesterday afternoon that Kerry wouldn't accept the invitation, so don't worry about having seen it on O'Reilly :)

Legit concern except
NewsMax is directly quoting Sinclair spokesman Mark Hyman
