CBSNews: Very Upset By Sinclair Broadcasting's Late Political Hit

It's just too effin' funny.

All of this crying over Stolen Honor, and yet no one said boo when Michael Moore announced he was planning an election-eve pay-per-view celebritython offering of Fahrenheit 9-11.

Update: Qu'ran makes similar points.

More interesting to me, he catches Filet-O-Fish calling Instapundit a partisan hack, in so many words.

I don't get it. Instapundit made this guy. Willis owes his entire undeserved modicum of semi-fame to Instapundit, who was entirely over-generous in constantly linking this jackass.

But everytime Willis insults him, he gives him a link.

This is odd behavior. Principled, I guess, but why encourage insults from a retard?

For what it's worth, Instapundit annoys me when he suggests -- as he occasionally does -- that, to fight the war, we have to enact his preferred libertarian social policy immediately, lest the terrorists win. I'm not a fan of linking anything to the War on Terror except, you know, the War on Terror.

Hoping for a link. Fingers crossed!

Surely you understand the difference between a cable or satellite 'pay-per-view' showing of F-9/11 and Sinclair telling all of its stations to run Stolen Honor over the taxpayer-owned airwaves...

And so, do you understand the difference between reporting,a nd allowing Kerry to rebut the film, live and in person, and simply putting out anti-Bush hatred as fact without a chance at rebuttal?

Posted by: Bithead on October 13, 2004 01:39 PM

You honestly think airing a smearumentary on the public air-waves is 'reporting'? Wow. Sure, ok - whatever.

Then lets have Sinclair run F-9/11 the next night and give President Bush a chance to rebut.

Bithead

They,not sinclair, are going to run 911 two nights before election and they are NOT going to give Pres Bush the chance to respond. Why are you not protesting that one? could it be that as long as it is anti-Bush it is ok but if it is anti-Kerry it should be supressed? As far as Stolen Honor being a smear, where is your proof that these vets, much more decorated than Kerry, are lying? Show us some proof or shut up about it. Also, the last time I looked the 1st amendment was in play and it applied to all people not just lefties. (bet that comes as a surprise huh?)

Why, yes, yes I did...

Dan Schuster at MSNBC has an aricle about this.

Here is my post to him:

You claim that there are factual errors, testimony is incomplete, and not enough POWs were included.

If that is the case, why don't you show "Stolen Valor" and provide point-by-point evidence to refute the factual errors; provide the complete testimony, and interviews with POWs?

If CBS can purposely do a "documentary" against President Bush (using
false documents) without inviting the President to respond, why can't
Sinclair do a documentary against Kerry (using Kerry's true documented
statements)?

Unlike CBS, Sinclair has invited Kerry to speak immediately following
the show, and Kerry has refused because he is afraid to personally address
the issues raised.

As you recognize, the few stations that Sinclair owns are nothing
compared to those of CBS, NBC, and ABC.

Also, Kerry's spokesperson has threatened Sinclair if Kerry gets
elected. This should be of concern to everyone who is interested in a
free press, freedom of speech, and the Constitutuion. This threat was
captured on film and broadcast.

The Constitution of the US should be the deciding factor. Not party
hacks. Hiding factual information from the public regarding a candidate for
President is unethical and immoral.

I'm disappointed that you would put your politics above the
Constitution. We can have differences of opinion regarding politics, but if
you don't believe in the Constitution, all discussions are meaningless.

You guys are amazing. These situations are not analogous.

Perhaps Fred's scenario is _closer_ but even that is not the same thing at all. 60 minutes is a regularly scheduled investigative news program. And BTW, don't make this about 60 minutes or Dan Rather because its not and you know it.

So, Sinclair is telling all of its stations to pre-empt regularly scheduled programming to air this thing. An analogous situation would be, say, NBC pre-empting "Fear Factor" to show The Bush Family Fortunes.

The showing of F-9/11 is a capitalist venture -- it's PAY PER VIEW for crying out loud, do you all really not understand this? What sinclair is doing is a misuse of the public airwaves, pure and simple.

So I assume, anonymous poster, that you get as ticked as all of us do, when NPR and PBS use their time, which is funded by the public, to rip conservatives and cheerlead for the liberal agenda at every opportunity?

Posted by: lauraw on October 13, 2004 07:39 PM

lauraw - I think your full of it. At least were PBS is concerned - PBS is not "liberal" but the right has been able to spin it that way with the incessant noise machine. At it's best PBS was a home to intelligent centrism. But more and more it is a mouthpiece for coporate America. Look at who the sponsors are.

Be real. This the network that has provided homes to John McLaughlin, David Gergen, William F. Buckley, Jr., the Nightly Business Report and now Tucker Carlson and The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board.

Just because you say something over and over doesn't make it true.

If PBS were truly liberal/leftwing/progressive there would be shows featuring Jim Hightower, Noam Chomsky, Joe Conason, Greg Palast, Molly Ivins, etc. etc. etc.

PBS is a blend of political viewpoints with ultimately far more representation from pundits in the center and to the right than from the left.

NPR is slightly more progressive, but not by much.

Lost Seventies Mystery Click: The Darkest Song Ever Recorded?
I think Professor of Rock (on YouTube) claimed this song was so upsetting that people used to pull over to the side of the road when it came on the radio. It's about a fatal plane crash, but obviously it suggests a fatal car crash too, which could wig out a driver.
It's like one of those nasty 70s anti-war body horror movies. Not for the squeamish. I'm not even going to post the lyrics because they're upsetting too.

I'm frankly surprised the title is 107 Days. I would have thought it would be:

Days Are Important: The Amount of Days Was a Number and That Number Was 100 Plus 7 Which is 107. 107. One Hundred and Seven. It's a Memoir and Memoirs are About Remembering Things Because Remembering Things is Good. Not Bad. Good. Memoir. A Memoir. Like a Reservoir But With Memory. We Have to Let it Flow. We Have to Let It Flow Into the Reservoir of Our Mind and Our Heart. Our Heart Which is the Beating Heart of Not Just Our Blood, But Our Progress. And Our People. And Democracy. The End.

Former CIA operative John Kiriakou talks with Matt Taibbi about the Brennan/Comey Coup
Both guys are old liberals, maybe even of the far-left variety, and both are appalled by the Democrat/Deep State coup against the US. Kiriakou says that CIA officers were legally obligated to report to the Inspector General John Brennan's repeated overruling of actual intelligence to encode his partisan conspiracy theories into US intel product, but of course they didn't.
