It's really surprising to me that ABC would watch CBS go over the cliff, and then proceed to do the same thing.

It is on Sinclair's website, though not terribly easy to find. If you are in the Pittsburgh area, they own Channels 22 and 53.

Dems: FREE SPEECH

Ever hear of it? Other than for yourselves, I mean?

How owuld the DUers react if this ban on free expression by private broadcasters applied to the owners of MoveOn.org?

SINCLAIR is the conservative alternative to the major networks. They never give to Democrats and unlike the mainstream media, they don't hide the political identity behind protestation of "professional ethics" and "journalistic objectivity." SBG does what the rest of the media has failed to do and that is to bring up the OTHER side of the story. This documentary wouldn't even be broadcast if it weren't for them. The media's real complaint is they've lost their monopoly to decide what is and what isn't news. How dare an upstart company like SBG to infringe on THEIR perogatives! (laughing)

And WHERE do the contributions of the leaders of abc, cbs,nbc, cnn, viacom, etc go? to the DEMONCRATS of course.

The "elitist media" HAD to report on the rathergate fisaco because SO MANY knew about it via the internet. Yet, their complains were about the FORGED documents, NOT the fact that danny boy was attempting to CONTROL the outcome of the election via a so-called NEWS story.

We need to FLOOD abc, cbs, nbc, cnn with emails DENOUCING their BIASED attitude onthe Sinclair situation.

nbc has no "offical link" for their news dept.

Try: webmaster@nbc.com
Subj: Forward to nbc news

abc: NETAUDR@abc.com

cbs: http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/home/main100.shtml
at the bottom of the page, Contact Us will bring up a form

cnn: http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form1.html?18

The following is what I am sending to them all.

You find it ACCEPTABLE for cbs to attempt to CONTROL the outcome of the election with KNOWN FRAUDULENT stories, yet you compain about Sinclair requiring stations HE OWNS to run a particular movie?

You had NO PROBLEM with cbs running a "documentary" about the Reagans that was BOGUS and INTENDED to make them look silly and ridiculous but you COMPLAIN when Sinclair wants to run a FACTUAL film about a BACKSTABBING COWARD who used the LIVES of AMERICAN soldiers for HIS political gain?

You members of the "elitist media" havent learned yet, but EVENTUALLY you will. You will become HONEST or you will become IRRELEVANT.

Good point. Can you post a list of their stations so we can circulate it on the internet and encourage people to support them?

When you get caught with your hand in the cookie jar, you have two options: 1. Drop them and deny you took them, or 2. Keep the cookies, scream that you're entitled to them, and fight to keep them. In the bias war, the MSM has chosen the latter.
Rather than deny they're biased and run a few token stories to support the contrary, it looks as though the MSM is going to pick sides and back what it hopes will be the winner. No one can, with a straight face, argue otherwise.

I have been thinking that we need to circulate the idea that everyone should cancel their subscriptions to the actual newspapers. When I receive calls soliciting a subscription to the L.A. Times, I tell the caller that I don't make contributions to the Democratic Party. That always shuts them up real quick. As long as people subscribe, and buy the products advertised, they will continue to be able to spew the liberal biased so-called "news"

Full list of business leaders endorsing Kerry

"The Kerry-Edwards plan for America is exactly what is needed to jumpstart businesses and get America working again. It will lower healthcare costs and cut taxes on corporations and small businesses to strengthen our economy today and invest in education, science and innovation to help us stay competitive in the economy of tomorrow." -- Peter Chernin, President and COO, News Corp. [parent company of FOX News

President and CEO of Fox is big Dem donor

Peter Chernin, President and CEO of Fox Studios, listed with a Beverly Hills address is recorded on Fundrace.org as giving Kerry $2000. His wife another 2000. But Peter Chernin listed at another address, this one in Santa Monica, whose occupation is "News Corporation President" is a $25,000 donor to the DNC. Are there two Peter Chernins who are News Presidents, or is the head of Fox News a giant DNC contributor?

(later reply): VERY old news on Chernin.

Apt analogy because they are getting a taste of their own medicine. Heh-Heh-Heh.
