Sinclair/WGME not airing all of "Stolen Honor"
WGME 13 ^ | 10/19/2004 | WGME

Posted on 10/19/2004 7:58:34 PM PDT by rinkrat

BALTIMORE (October 19, 2004) - Sinclair Broadcast Group (Nasdaq: SBGI) announced today that on Friday, October 22, 2004 at 8:00 p.m. WGME 13 will air a special one-hour news program, entitled A POW Story: Politics, Pressure and the Media. The news special will focus in part on the use of documentaries and other media to influence voting, which emerged during the 2004 political campaigns, as well as on the content of certain of these documentaries. The program will also examine the role of the media in filtering the information contained in these documentaries, allegations of media bias by media organizations that ignore or filter legitimate news and the attempts by candidates and other organizations to influence media coverage. Contrary to numerous inaccurate political and press accounts, the Sinclair stations will not be airing the documentary “Stolen Honor” in its entirety. At no time did Sinclair ever publicly announce that it intended to do so.

Sorry if dupe... didn't see WGME posting but may be under general Sinclair posting. Caving in to advertising $ I suppose.

Meanwhile, video stores are renting out "Fahrenheit 9/11" for free, the Sundance channel is running 24/7 anti-Bush stuff, and the Leftist media drones on in favor of John Kerry.

It's shaping up to be the Evil Party vs. the Gutless Party.

As much as I hate McAwful, Gillespie's not even in the same league as him in regards to publicly promoting his party.

We gotta get a chairman with some backbone.

And a Senate Majority Leader with some backbone, too.

I received an e-mail from Bush/Cheney-04 today quoting Newsweek and CNN saying, in not so many words, how the media is "left," biased, and is going to try to throw the election in Kerry's favor.

This is egregious. Sinclair should air the whole thing. That's more than fair considering what "they" have done to "us."

Gillespie may be a wimp, but as I remember it, Bush did not want to be associated with the swifvets or the POW's. Not because he didn't believe them but to show that he did not initiate or encourage their activities.

However, you would think there would be conservateive orgs full of lawyers to combat the lefty facists. But I guess not.

This was planned from the beginning, the special was to be 45 minutes long and include clips of the movie and POW's talking trash on Kerry, and that is still the exact same thing that is going to happen. The entire documentary is alot longer than 45 min, and only 45 minutes was allotted when this whole fiasco started. Go read what Sinclair said, they say in essence "we are doing what we were going to do from the get go." The libs are claiming a victory when there is none, hilarious.

I'll take brains over brawn, McAuliffe has neither.

If Gillespie and Frist indeed possess brains, they'd know that the "bend over and take it" GOP mentality ain't gonna work in the face of the RAT onslaught.

We have to fight back.

I did something even better! I went and bought some stock in Sinclair! The way I look at it.... either way the stock goes.. I will still win!! I think I will donate some more money to the Swiftvets in the name of all of the DUmmies who are trying to stop the viewing of this show. I am also going out to dinner at Arbys tomorrow - ( I love those Jo-mocha shakes-dont you?) and buying a a whole bunch of General Mills products on my way home. (Advertisers)

Is this simply a need to edit the program down to fit into an allotted time slot?
