I agree. It was a sell out to conservatives. Now they have both sides pissed at them.
How do you balance a cheat and a liar
that will stop at nothing in order to gain money and power
with an honorable President whose primary focus is protecting
Americans?
It can't be done.
The two are miles apart. Night versus day. Back versus white.
Sinclair Broadcasting Group blew it. They blew it on purpose.
They know that Kerry is unfit to be President. They never asked why Kerry refuses to sign Form 180 which would make public all of his military records. The never said that President Bush signed Form 180. Instead, they quoted a person saying that all of Bush's files have not been found.
Sinclair should have asked why the mainstream media and mainstream journal programs -- 60 Minutes, etc. -- has continuously held President Bush's feet to the fire for the past six months yet have not held Kerry accountable one-tenth as much.
The clearly catered to the mainstream media status quo talking points regarding Rathergate/memogate. Rather than explaining the facts themselves they showed a talking head parroting talking points. The show host said that within 24 hours the blogs had discredited the memos, The talking head said, paraphrasing, ''the media houses (CBS) doesn't have dozens of people to verify the validity of documents like the blogsphere does."
It's widely known that the experts 60 Minutes used to inspect the documents couldn't verify their validity and were concerned that they may be forged.
I could go on and on. If I get a cop of the show to put on my hard drive I may do complete analysis.
As it stands, Sinclair has used up their one error. They get one second chance. If they repeat their error -- reporting the truth that can be easily manipulated rather than report with honesty that has no gray era -- I'll conclude that they are but another media outlet shooting themselves in the foot and have earned their ticket to go down with the Old Media Titanic.

They know the score. Bush versus Kerry is night versus day. Black versus white.
The terrorists goal is to kill us all or covert us to Islamic fundamentalists.
If they get their way, and having Kerry instead of Bush as President will facilitate them, Sinclair will lose right along with all the rest of us.
They're fools. Sinclair burned the bridge.
It had me crying at the end. To think that our voters elected a draft dodger and protestor for 8 years. Now the same group that sponsored Bubba, want to foist off a traitor. I cried for our 'Nam troops, our Iraqi troops and our country.
I didn't get the program here so I can't comment on the content. But I do know that it's easy to criticize Sinclair when we have nothing to lose. Their stock has dropped 50% since this talk of showing the program started. I saw a guy from the New York State Employees Retirement fund that owns 250,000 shares of Sinclair saying on TV that he had written to them voicing concern over the losses. Whether Sinclair caved in, this was a ploy from the beginning to move the stock, or we just plain expected too much, who knows. It's still better than Nightline Goes to Vietnam.

I hate when I'm suspicious. Amazing you sign up the same day Kerry gives his response to Sinclair reporter. And then you give a bad critique on opening.
Sinclair should be commended for not buckling under pressure. Hopefully this airing will plant a seed, for those hearing this for the first time, to do their own research before they vote.
Whatever your circumstance for joining, welcome to FR.
This is what is posted on the Sinclair Web Site. They sold their souls. Notice that they state that the Kerry Camp was involved for the past few weeks:
We welcome your comments regarding the special news event “A POW Story: Politics, Pressure and the Media,” Sinclair’s third news special of 2004. The program aired on 40 television stations around the country on Friday, October 22, 2004. The program dealt with a variety of topics including the allegations made by 13 American POWs – including two Medal of Honor winners – about their captivity in North Vietnam. All viewpoints were included in this documentary.
We would like to thank the Kerry Campaign for its participation during the private discussions that took place over a period of weeks. Through the recommendations of senior Kerry Campaign officials, several people closely allied with Senator John Kerry, including his close friend of 40-years and his co-editor of “The New Soldier,” George Butler, participated in the news special.
To voice your support to the FCC for Sinclair's broadcast of "A P.O.W.Story". Click Here
And this is the preformatted letter to the FCC:
Dear Chairman Powell and Commissioners:
I am writing in support of the broadcast aired by the Sinclair Broadcast Group entitled A POW Story: Politics, Pressure and the Media, which took place on Friday, October 22, 2004. I saw the special one-hour news program and thought that it was an informative, fair, and timely journalistic presentation regarding the role of documentaries and the media in influencing voting in the 2004 presidential election. Contrary to the ill-founded accusations by various partisan groups, attacking a program they had not seen, the news program was not a propaganda piece intended to attack any political figure.
Most importantly, I wholeheartedly support the First Amendment and the right of media organizations, such as Sinclair, to exercise their journalistic judgment in airing programming that they believe to be newsworthy and of interest to their viewers. Sinclair should be applauded for its decision to air intelligent programming that stimulates political debate.
Very truly yours,

Chill out, honey, and take your Prozac. Wash it down with a Bud. Sometimes reality bites.
For those of you able to watch the broadcast tonight, I'm sure you'll agree with me that we have met our objective! Sinclair has capitulated, and aired an hour-long "news show" that actually presented both sides of the issue.
Let us not forget what Sinclair was planning on airing. Visit the website at http://www.boycottsbg.com to see the Yahoo TV listing. Our actions kept them from airing the propaganda piece, Stolen Honor, in its entirety.
We changed this program. We made a difference. We, quite possibly, changed the outcome of this election.
Let us also not forget the power that we, collectively, have in this country. We can make a difference when we want to. I've never felt that way before, but tonight I do. I am so proud of what we've accomplished.
However, we must still be vigilant with Sinclair. SinclairPatrol.com will still go up, and we will watch them like hawks. We have won this battle, but we must be prepared for more attacks.
Sinclair made it very clear tonight, at the end of their "news special", that they wanted letters in support of them to go to the FCC. This means that they are scared. We have shown them our power, and THEY ARE SCARED.
We need to keep our momentum going. We must be ready to challenge their licenses.
On November 1st, we will formally launch SinclairPatrol.com. Go to the website below for more information on how you can help keep Sinclair under control
