ABC to air documentary on Kerry in Vietnam

New York, NY, Oct. 15 (UPI) -- ABC TV has produced and will air next week a documentary on the Vietnam War fight that has both distinguished and dogged John Kerry's presidential campaign.

Kerry has not hesitated to invoke his status as a war hero, gained partly for a 1969 incident when he was commanding a river boat in Vietnam, in seeking to win Democratic Party's nomination and in campaigning against President Bush, ABC News reported Friday.

But the 1969 incident for which Kerry won a Silver Star has also been the focus of one of his most virulent enemies, the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, who charge that all the senator-to-be did that day was shoot one wounded Vietnamese teenage boy in the back as he fled.

Recently ABC interviewed survivors of that skirmish, and it plans to broadcast the results of those interviews on Thursday at 11:35 p.m. EDT.

Interviewees include those who witnessed Kerry's boat approach the village of Nah Vi, saw fighting and knew both casualties and survivors.

An anti-Kerry documentary focusing on his anti-war activities is also expected to air over Sinclair Broadcasting channels before the election.

OK, so where's the equal time?

Do Republicans scream?

Just how was it that ABC even FOUND this village?

Lots of questions....

[marty60]

Like George Soros connection to ABC.

[maro]

You forgot that at ABC, one must be unfair to the Republicans to be fair to the Democrats.

[stylin19a]

I wonder what's going to be different from last night's Koppel whuppin.

[dead]

Holy cow! They are really pulling out all the stops. What's amazing is that there still are liberal idiots who insist that the mainstream media isn't in the pockets of the Democrats.

I saw the Nightline about this last night. There were so many absurdities involved (the teenage boy Kerry admits shooting alone behind the hooch was actually a big scary 26 year old Vietcong who wasn't shot dead by anybody behind a hooch, but they are sure that this is the guy Kerry shot, though nobody there saw Kerry or anybody else shoot him), it won't help Kerry one bit. It will just keep reminding people that there are lots of questions about his accounts of his war heroics.

[dalebert]

I hope swift vets demand equal time. of course we don't have to worry about ABC being fair and balanced.

[hipaatwo]

Maybe it's time to start e-mailing ABC that we know about Halperin's father working for Soros and people in pajamas are anxiously awaiting this documentary.

[austinaero]

ABC has been taking editing lessons from Miserable Moore and CBS...they're anxious to try their new hacking technique and the result will be that Kerry praised the troops, dontchya know?

I'd like to see them do an expose of Koppel's rug! THAT would be interesting.

[Politicalities]

I wonder what's going to be different from last night's Koppel whuppin.

Why, that's simple. They won't have John O'Neill on to discredit this. Nobody there to point out that the accounts provided by the Vietnamese contradict Kerry's own account.

And they'll get away with it.

Note also that the Silver Star incident is far from "the focus" of the Swift Boat Vets. The allegations about the first Purple Heart are far more damaging. The Silver Star thing comes down to a he-said-she-said situation, with no real proof on either side. But you'll never find an MSM outlet investigating that critical Purple Heart.

[CatoRenasci]

EQUAL TIME FOR SWIFTVETS!

[Tempest]

Bill Burkett provided them the coordinates ;^)

[FlipWilson]

Good for you ABC, go the same way as CBS and Rather. . .and suffer their fate. Sure, you are doing a positive piece on Kerry as opposed to a hit piece on Bush, but we know. We know that you are only telling one side of this story. We know you don't have the guts to interview John O'Neil or to truly look into the Swiftvets accusations. The viewers know and the American people increasingly (by the day) know. We all know that you are not just biased, but without any integrity and honesty.

So aire your wittle piece and continue to watch your ratings slump and continue to blame it on the "stupidity" of the viewership. P.S. Thanks for inspiring me to donate to the Swifties. If you won't grant them equal time, I will help them purchase it themselves.

[Novel]

I'll sign the petition. Is there a list of advertisers yet? I'm ready to rattle the cage.

[Choose Ye This Day]

Yep, from now on it should be called:

ABC "News" (nudge! nudge! wink! wink!)

[dead]

Just how was it that ABC even FOUND this village?

The communist government of Vietnam (the one that recognizes John Kerry as a hero of their struggle and has a vested interest in insuring he wins the election) arranged Nightline’s entry into the country and provided them with a captain who could take them right to the village, where they could meet people who vividly remember this specific firefight (its never really explained why this particular firefight stuck out so vividly in a decade-long war on their river) almost forty years later and can confirm that John Kerry was telling the truth, even though their account is completely different than John Kerry’s account.

The whole thing is a bit too nuanced for non-Democratic minds to wrap their clear-thinking heads around.

[ozzymandus]

ABC wants to make sure kerry gets the Viet Cong vote.

Halperin Memo Dated Friday October 8, 2004

It goes without saying that the stakes are getting very high
for the country and the campaigns - and our responsibilities become quite grave
I do not want to set off (sp?) and endless colloquy that none of us have time for today
- nor do I want to stifle one.
Please respond if you feel you can advance the discussion.
The New York Times (Nagourney/Stevenson) and Howard Fineman
on the web both make the same point today: the current Bush attacks
on Kerry involve distortions and taking things out of context in a way
that goes beyond what Kerry has done.
Kerry distorts, takes out of context, and mistakes all the time, but these are not central to his (ed. ABC-supported) efforts to win.
We have a responsibility to hold both sides accountable to the public interest,
but that doesn't mean we reflexively and artificially hold both sides
"equally" accountable when the facts don't warrant that.
I'm sure many of you have this week felt the stepped up Bush efforts
to complain about our coverage.
This is all part of their efforts to get away with as
much as possible with the stepped up, renewed efforts
to win the election by destroying Senator Kerry at least partly through distortions.

It's up to Kerry to defend himself, of course.
But as one of the few news organizations with the skill and strength to help voters evaluate what the
candidates are saying to serve the public interest.
Now is the time for all of us to step up and do that right.

And who is Halperin?

BREAKING:
Halperin's father is none other than Morton H. Halperin,
head of George Soros' Open Society Policy Center.

[Oztrich Boy]

Wow. KerryEdwards2004, the DNC, MoveOn, and DU are real;y going to hit the roof complaining about this to the FCC.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

They just had a testimonial to him last night on Nightline. How many more do they need?

[Sola Veritas]

"The communist government of Vietnam (the one that recognizes John Kerry as a hero of their struggle and has a vested interest in insuring he wins the election) arranged Nightline’s entry into the country and provided them with a captain who could take them right to the village, where they could meet people who vividly remember this specific firefight (its never really explained why this particular firefight stuck out so vividly in a decade-long war on their river) almost forty years later and can confirm that John Kerry was telling the truth, even though their account is completely different than John Kerry’s account."

I'm surprised the communist government of Vietnam didn't also instruct these "witnesses" to say that Kerry had a tear in his eye while having to shoot the honorable soldier.

The MSM are distroying free speech with propaganda.

[Chode]

i guess ABC(Anything But Class) pretty much threw out any and all last vestiges of objectivity they had left right out the window when they start using THE ENEMY... VIETNAMESE COMMUNIST STOOOGES all under the watchful eye of their AgitProp Minder as their truthful unbiased sources to use in propaganda for their RAT-King!!!

[AmarilloMorning]

This is so effed up. I hate our media-- I really, really do.

[R. Scott]

Place your bets ladies and gentlemen!
How much of Hanoi John’s reenactment home movies from Viet Nam – showing him decked out as a grunt – will be shown to validate his “hero” status?

[TNCMAXQ]

Makes me wish GWB did not stop short with his comment the other night about news organizations and their misinformation. He should have let them have it.

[Republicus2001]

I understand that Eisner is stepping down from Disney so to make room for their new CIO/Editor in Chief Michael Moore!!!

[CA_soon_gone]

Hold on folks, this is good news.
Kerry did well over the last few weeks in the debates because the subject was evereything but Vietnam. If the subject returns to Vietnam for these last weeks before the election Bush wins in a walk.

Amen, friend!!!!

[timydnuc]

I was in Viet Nam. I was a medic and a 101st Airborne Ranger. I can't tell you how many natives I treated, successfully by the way. I doubt that they could remember me, or any Ranger in my unit. This is the most ridiculous story I have ever seen, and ,of course, a lie.

I'm proud of the care I gave to those sick people, and I would do it again in a heart beat. I treated wounded enemy, because we needed the intel. Keep them healthy so they could talk, and it worked about 80% of the time. I didn't like it, but I did it. But, they came after the innocent villagers that were sick, infirmed, or wounded.

What I am saying is this, if I saved them from death, and I did in some cases, they couldn't remember me, nor could I remember them. War erases things for a good reason.

The liberal bias of the MSM is front and center for everyone to see. I don't even see why John Kerry would even seek federal funding for this election. The alphabet channels and the bulk of the newspapers serve pretty much as his personal PR firm. You couldn't put a price tag on the amount of positive coverage as well as the supression of damaging information that the MSM does for this guy. It won't help in the end though. The Bush victory will be so satisfying for all of us because we not only would have beaten back John Kerry but also destroyed the sycophant media as an added bonus. The night of Nov.2 is gonna be great!
