I suppose that were he president, he'd threaten to sue any TV station that would report a massive terrorist attack on our land.

On Hannity, the WTMJ station manager said he called the atty's listed on the memo and asked them if they were threatening to sue.

They, of course, denied they were and said the fax-memo was 'just a request.'

So, it sound like they are trying a bluff in hopes of intimidating stations. WTMJ called their bluff. Wonder how many other stations will?

Wisconsin Freepers Bump. You are requested to back up WTMJ for their support of the Swift Ads, and opposed to Democrat inspired Lawyer Threat Tactics.

Kerry's threatening to personally kick some ass?

Now there's a mental picture.

WTMJ has a television station & a radio station. Do you know which station manager was on?

BTW, they also own the largest newspaper (left wing fish wrap) in the state.

Well .. I'm glad for the confirmation that this is "just a request", based on the fact that their letter avoided any legal language.

Brian Wilson reported, "The John Kerry campaign, without offering any proof said that Karl Rove is behind this ad."

Since both Kerry and Edwards are lawyers, they know about "Threatening Lawyer letters."

Even if the Swift Boat piece includes errors, how is it any different than "Fahrenheit 911?"

The candidates are public figures, hence they are open game.

Yahoo News carrying as third or fourth top story now...that will get this story out from the realm of conservative-ville/talk radio/FR and into the mainstream of voters!

FNC is in bed with the bad guys. I expected Britt to hammer it.
