Sinclair...No Guts, No Glory!

The much anticipated broadcast of Stolen Honor turned out to be a non-report. By the time Sinclair Broadcasting Company finished editing to suit the Kerry camp and the DNC, almost all of the story ended up on the cutting room floor…
The most important questions surrounding Senator John Kerry’s fitness for office of Commander-in-Chief remain unasked and unanswered, even after the Sinclair broadcast.
Why has Senator John Kerry refused to confront his accusers personally, even after being chased across the country by Sinclair?
If he is right, and has nothing to hide, why has Senator John Kerry still not signed DOD Standard Form 180 releasing his secret military records, as Al Gore, John McCain and George W. Bush did before the 2000 election?
Why did Senator John Kerry not receive an honorable discharge from the Navy until March of 2001?
Did John Kerry personally witness Vietnam atrocities, or was he simply grandstanding under oath, repeating rumor and innuendo in 1971, for political purposes?
How is it possible that 254 SwiftVets, countless POW’s, almost 80% of our active duty military and more than 70% of our retired military could be wrong about John Kerry, which is what would have to happen in order for John Kerry to be right?
With only ten days remaining until Election Day, it is clear that we will never get the answers to these questions… Kerry has succeeded in making his challenged 3 month war career the center piece of his candidacy, while avoiding answering any of the questions surrounding those 3 months, or the years that followed…
Sinclair set out to tell the most important story of this election, one no mainstream media outlet would touch with a ten foot pole. But even Sinclair lost their nerve when push came to shove, and the Kerry camp once again blocked an attempt to let the truth come out.
In the end, the Sinclair story was a complete waste of 60 minutes of airtime, an embarrassment to the network, and a resounding message to the American people concerning the future of free speech in America.

What a sad day it is in America, when the truth about someone seeking the office of Commander-in-Chief, is intentionally kept from the very people who must choose who will fill that seat. http://www.buttondepress.com/BostonManifesto/stolenhonor.wmv
They could care less about "GLORY". The only thing that they (management and stockholders) care about,,,,is the bottom line!!! Why would you expect them to be different than other companies?
I was told by a friend that Kerry and Jane Fonda are actually going to get royalty checks from Sinclair for their appearance in the documentary. I couldnt believe it.
I was not able to see the documentary ("A POW Story: Politics, Pressure and the Media") that Sinclair Broadcasting ran yesterday evening. But contrary to my (I believe well-founded) skepticism, the piece was apparently relatively even-handed.What gives? When are we going to get the upper hand in this thing? Time's running out, people!
Sinclair, Bye-Bye! Please don't intrude again with what you will do. We know now that you haven't the courage to follow through in the face of Stalinist pressures.
OK, consider my boycott of Burger King to be over now. They let me down.
Regarding the royalties to Fonda and Kerry that you couldn't believe -- you evidently believed in them enough to spread the rumor without any evidence. You are hardly in a position to be judging Sinclair's reporting, or the "liberal media's" reporting when your own standards are so casual. Would you care to support your news about these royalties with something more substantial than "my friend said so." Perhaps your friend heard it from a reliable source, such as his wife's manicurist's gardener's aunt. Thanks for your enlightening contribution to the flow of accurate information.
What in the heck are you talking about? I never made any statement in those regards ever!!!!!
Ah, newbie, you work for sinclair?
He/She is commenting on an internet forum...If you expect facts and nothing but the facts here you're already deluded. BTW, sinclair caved.
"If you expect facts and nothing but the facts here you're already deluded." So in other words, we're supposed to rally and support each other with non-facts (also known as "lies"? Isn't this as bad as anything we're accusing Kerry of?
You never did answer my question, though.
- - and I think Kerry still wasn't satisfied with Sinclair's
strenuous attempts to meet with his approval. From what I
saw, the next morning, the Kerry camp sent them a "we are
not pleased" rather threatening letter. I wrote them an
e-mail and told them we ALL had better hope Kerry and little
Chad Clanton aren't elected; then all news will have to
clear the Oval Office or the offending network will not
last long.
