Stolen Honor/Sinclair a Bust

This production has not been well thought out, poorly edited and produced.

Well, it says you joined 2 weeks ago. To me, that's a newbie.

I saw an ad for Nature Conservancy, with a voiceover by Paul Newman.

[PowerPro]

it was worth bashing.

[Howlin]

What did you expect? No station in their right mind is going to run a complete hit piece -- especially one that WE think is good enough -- against John Kerry at this time of the election cycle.

You should have known that it would never satisfy us.

IMHO Sinclair had planned to do this all along but wanted to get additional publicity and stick it to the Vets.

[SerpentDove]

It is online here:

Copy the link and email it to everyone you know. They can't stop it from being broadcast this way.

" it's the part of the right wing RINO GOP that hopes Bush loses, too."

[airborne]

Man you guys are tough...

If you've been here for so long, then you knew what to expect. I will agree with you that Sinclair sucks, but 'Stolen Honor' will be seen and discussed, and Kerry will be on the defensive for the next few days.

[ArmyBratCutie]

it was TERRIBLE......more than one sided for Kerry...maybe 10 minutes about the POWS, and they still had Kerrys people there to carry on his side...then some girl did a piece on the ads for campaigns and it was ALL a Kerry fest...everytime as she was talking in the background one of the Swift Boat Vets ad would be up there, a big red LIARS would be over them...
it didnt even show his book, which would have been really relevent to the POW story, NOTHING......
piece of crap backstabbers

[highlandbreeze]

I don't believe I'll email the FCC on behalf of Sinclair. I don't want to defend them right now. They're on their own. I may feel differently come tomorrow but not now.

[Howlin]

This was supposed to finally provide a voice to those who have been ignored.

Exactly where is that posted?

Are you sure that isn't what you HOPED it would do?

If you had been listening to the Sinclair people all over TV this week, you would have known that it was going to be like this.

[Rebelbase]

Hannity was right, FReepers do eat their own.

[tirednvirginia]

I think we were duped folks, plain and simple. I don't think Sinclair caved at all. This was their plan and we fell for it.

[gramho12]

What's with this troll stuff? I watched it, I'm not a newbie troll, and I thought it was a waste of my time. It was a total bait and switch, and if you disagree, fine.

Quit calling everyone a troll.

[Howlin]

It's a damn parade.

[EODGUY]

My wife and I feel completely duped. As far as we are concerned, the title of the "documentary" is a sham. If I had had any idea this piece of tripe was so pathetically produced and so partisan, I wouldn't have watched it. Kerry wasn't man enough to face the POW's who got all of about one tenth of the program to discuss their feelings.

Did you notice that there were no sponsors for the program, only commercials for other Sinclair Broadcasting programs?

The only thing missing from this piece of garbage rationalizing Kerry's lies, behavior and lack of integrity was his voice at the end stating, "I'm John Kerry and I endorse this commercial".

I seriously wonder if it wasn't planned all along to hype this as an attack piece when in reality it was actually an attack piece against our President and ridiculously pro-Kerry !

Disgusting.

Welcome aboard! Didn't take long to get into combat, did it? Too many comin' trolling these days and its hard to tell the friendlies from the enemy.

[highlandbreeze]

There is a down side about knowing too much about John Kerry. And, it's disappointing when you want the world to know and there is no way to get it out there. I tell everyone that I can get ahold of, but it just a drop in the bucket.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

"This is the way we troll, we troll...we be trollin'!!!"

Just received email from sister, she and her family in Florida said what they have seen so far is a bust, very poorly done, should not have been run, period.

[dalight]

This was a terrible mistake for Sinclair. By choosing both sides they decided to pull a Kerry move.. and now they are hated by both sides..

Woops..
