On June 2, Tom Brokaw devoted over a minute of NBC Nightly News to promoting Moore's Bush-bashing movie, even running a portion of the movie trailer, the kind of promotional advertising normally reserved for paid spots, movie theater "coming attractions" and movie previews on entertainment shows. NBC Nightly News, in fact, gave Moore's screed more than three times more air time Wednesday night than did Paramount's syndicated Entertainment Tonight (18 seconds) and four times more time than did NBC's own syndicated entertainment news show, Access Hollywood (14 seconds). Brokaw at least characterized Moore as a "liberal activist," but he described Moore's production simply as "an award-winning film about President Bush and his team."

On Memorial Day, weeks after the swift boat veterans came forward, NewsNight carried a four-minute info-mercial for John Kerry narrated by Brown who simply recited Kerry's version of all his Vietnam heroics, without a word about contrary views or anything about vets angry at Kerry for betraying them when he testified to the Senate about atrocities -- the very subject of the Stolen Honor film that Sinclair wants to share.

Dims and the Dim media don't like having their information blockade run.
They liked it when they could tell us how to think.
DUers have been e-mailing Sinclair's sponsors and one SYLVAN LEARNING CENTERS have pulled their ads. We have to fight them on this.
Later read.
Wow, what a concept: The fact that people with brains do not believe that left-wing bias is really an attempt at fairness proves that it is media fairness. Only from a Dim...
Let's face it, the Dims are much more motivated this year than are Republicans. We are too content to masturbate over poll numbers and to let others do the heavy lifting. I'm really becoming worried about this election.
With respect to his question, "What makes this news?" It would be interesting to ask Brown about the MSM affinity for questions regarding W's National Guard record while ignoring Kerry's refusal to release any but a few selected pages of his own military records. Why is W's record "news" while Kerry's is not?
The election will be a squeaker. I think Bush will win but the Kerry campaign's lawyers are going to give Bush alot of trouble like the Gore campaign did. If Bush doesn't win by a big enough margin it will be 2000 all over again.
From the stolenhonor.com web site:
Sherwood took an unpaid leave of absence from the wvc3 Group in June 2004 in order to establish Red, White & Blue Productions, Inc., an independent film company which produced "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal." The documentary received its initial funding entirely from Pennsylvania Veterans. Since the Stolen Honor website – www.stolenhonor.com -- was activated in late August, just prior to the debut of the film, additional funds have been received from individuals and entities nationwide. No political campaign, candidate or political party have been involved in any way in the financing or production of Stolen Honor.
Freepers need to get involved by sending pro show statements to everybody they can.
The Democrats, the liberals and the MSM want desperately to suppress dissident political speech, at any cost. The pretense of fairness and nonpartisanship is gone; this is a cultural war, and freedom of speech and freedom in general is at stake.
Actually I e-mailed an encouragement e-mail to Sinclair yesterday. Freepers should do the same!
Isn't Dan Rather, Chris Mathews, and on and on, making "in-kind" contributions every time they open their mouths?
Terry "da hypocrite" McAuliffe is a real piece of work.

I can't find an email for any sylvan but a local one. Any suggestions?
Anyone watching Dayside on Foxnews?
The VP of Sinclaire was on and it looks like to me nothing will stop them from airing this movie
Woo!
Does Aaron Brown include Candy Crowley's infomercial for Kerry that has run repeatedly on CNN. It includes some of Kerry's home videos and trumpets his courage during the war and after he got home as a leader of the VVAW. Cram it Aaron!
WooHoo!! Go Sinclair!! My new hero!!
Please open a station in my neighborhood. LOL
The "elitist media" want to SMEAR the President with LIES and when someone comes forward with the TRUTH about kerry, they scream FOUL.
kerry is the one who FIRST came out "claiming" to be a viet nam hero. These people simply want to put the FACTS before the American public. That is what the demoncrats and the "elitist media" do NOT want. The "elitist media" wants to TELL you what the FACTS are (according to them) and then TELL you WHAT you are suppose to THINK.
Many Ameicans get this BRAINWASHING version of the news and are NOT privy to the internet and to the REAL FACTS. Its the reason that the formere Prime WITCH, hillary, fought to regulate internet news.
Aaron Brown is a well known by most, I would think, commentator on CNN. I don't reformat stories from Media research, sorry.
boy, the democrat plantation has put all of its assets on the line.
