The October 11 CyberAlert as noted here on FR that ABC and CBS have run unchallenged excerpts from Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11, under no protest from from Brown or any of the Old Media. While they ran a shorter than the 45-minute anti-Kerry film, they were on major networks accessible to every American view. For details about what ABC and CBS played, as well as a peek at the liberal political activities of those on the corporate side of those two networks, see the October 11 Cyber Alert: http://www.mediaresearch.org/cyberalerts/2004/cyb20041011.asp#1 or http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1241785/posts

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.

[trebb]

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...

[jokar]

You might try reformatting this, it's a little hard to read and I didn't know who Brown is until deep in the article.

[Sgt_Schultze]

I don't watch CNN. Is "Brown" UPS?

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?

[Spok]

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.

Terry McAuliffe said today he would file a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, charging Sinclair with making an in-kind contribution to the Bush campaign.

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.

[OrioleFan]

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!

[TheEnigma47]

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.

[ken21]

boy, the democrat plantation has put all of its assets on the line.

[EmilyGeiger]

I get Birmingham stations, so I am looking forward to seeing this documentary!

[CyberAnt]

Hyman was just on Dayside .. and the audience applauded and applauded everything he said. Then the DNC shill came on and the audience was laughing and rolling their eyes over almost everything the DNC shill said.

I was listening to Rush, so I didn't really get to hear the conversations, but the audience reactions to each guy was very interesting. Hyman did not do any "backtracking" as some here on FR have claimed. Much to the contrary .. he was not apologetic and said he thought the movie was to show respect and honor, which was long overdue, to men who had given much for America.

[Chode]

after this POS admitted he was one of sodamn insanes BIGGEST PRESSTITUTES for the last decade and is STILL on the air... i have no way to describe my feelings for him that won't get me discharged from FR!!!

[Billthedrill]

You won't hear or believe that if the story in question were about an anti-Bush film, let's say 'Fahrenheit 9/11,' we would say exactly the same thing, do the segment exactly the same way, ask the same questions. We would.

Bovine ordure. They didn't.

[need_a_screen_name]

BTTT!
