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.

Podcast: CBD and Sefton are joined by Vox Clamantis, a career federal prosecutor. We discuss what Due Process actually is, and how it applies to deportation, what the Trump administration can do to combat judicial overreach, and more!
Stephen Miller: The courts are attempting to unconstitutionally enshrine open borders into law by imposing an "infinite process" on deportations.
They're too cowardly to admit what they're doing and just say, "We don't like the way they people voted and who they voted for, so we're deposing the president through a judicial coup." Instead, they're just making it so that we can have a nominal law that allows the deportations of foreign criminals and gang members, but we're also going to impose "due process" requirements that will guarantee all illegals a lifetime residency in the US.

George Clooney now looks like Bela Lugosi from Ed Wood
In this "interview," Jake Tapper claims that Clooney writing an op-ed at the instigation of Barack Obama was "brave," and Clooney returns the favor by telling Jake Tapper that "journalists" are brave and irreplaceable. It's the world's least enticing gay porn.
Prepare for a shock: Former (?) Handgun Control, Inc. spokesman Jake Tapper lies about the background of his hard-left political agitator guest, presenting him as merely an "FSU student" and allowing him to claim Republicans have blood on their hands for the recent school shooting
However, D'Onofrio isn't some dispassionate observer. He's not just some random FSU student. It doesn't sound like he was anywhere in the neighborhood of the shooting, either. He was brought on primarily to talk about the politics, but was presented as an FSU student to try and leverage sympathy for his position.

But let's also remember, once again, that the alleged killer was prohibited from buying any kind of firearm in the state of Florida. He stole a firearm owned by his police officer mother. He carried a firearm into a gun-free zone. Florida's permitless carry only applies to people over 21, so he wasn't covered by that. No one used a red flag law to disarm him.

At every level, he broke the law. None of the laws sold to the people of Florida as necessary to prevent a tragedy worked to prevent this tragedy, and yet it's somehow the fault of people who recognize that?

Trump offers Easter wishes
Happy Easter!
BTW, I read that this is the first time in years the White House website has offered an Easter prayer. Every other religion and fake religion got promoted by Biden, but not Christianity.
Oh, and NPR's Easter story is that "Trump seeks corporate sponsors for Easter egg roll." Obviously every president does this, but this communist propaganda organization only points it out now, after having denied the Biden's family influence-farming operations for a decade.
