"They Better Hope We Don't Win" - Kerry Campaign Threat to Sinclair Broadcasting
Dayside - FNC

Posted on 10/12/2004 10:19:45 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Linda Vester is currentlly interviewing Chad Clanton, described as a 'senior Kerry campaign advisor.'

Discussing the plans of the Sinclair broadcasting group to air "Stolen Honor," the documentary about Kerry's Vietnam war service, Clanton stated:

"They [Sinclair] better hope that we're not elected."

Vester immediately asked if that was intended as a threat to Sinclair that a Kerry administration would not renew their broadcast licenses. Clanton tried to back off, but the threat was unmistakable.

These people are thugs.

Done.

However, I have a feeling that this Sinclair group will not back down and give in to the Libs on this one. They didn't back down before and they won't this time...and they should file a complaint of their own against this threat that was made on national TV.

FCC COMMISSIONER STATEMENT ON SINCLAIR AIRING OF ANTI-KERRY SHOW Tue Oct 12 2004 13:39:02 ET FCC COMMISSIONER COPPS CRITICIZES SINCLAIR CORPORATE DECISION TO PREEMPT LOCAL STATIONS FOR POLITICAL BROADCAST

Commissioner Michael J. Copps reacted to reports that Sinclair Broadcast Group will preempt more than 60 local stations across the country to air an overtly political program in the days prior to the Presidential election.

Copps stated: “This is an abuse of the public trust. And it is proof positive of media consolidation run amok when one owner can use the public airwaves to blanket the country with its political ideology -- whether liberal or conservative. Some will undoubtedly question if this is appropriate stewardship of the public airwaves. This is the same corporation that refused to air Nightline’s reading of our war dead in Iraq. It is the same corporation that short-shrifts local communities and local jobs by distance-casting news and weather from hundreds of miles away. It is a sad fact that the explicit public interest protections we once had to ensure balance continue to be weakened by the Federal Communications Commission while it allows media conglomerates to get even bigger. Sinclair, and the FCC, are taking us down a dangerous road.”

Oh, the Swifties got traction initially only on the cable stations so I wouldn't discount it from happening. However, it takes time and that's what we're running out of.

"They [Sinclair] better hope that we're not elected."

The voice of the Democratic party.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

When the dumb-o crats crawled out o the sewer there were only five lower levels, now there are an additional 7 lower levels and they are still looking for more lower levels.

O'Reilly is not my favorite by a long shot. He's so proud of being independent that he makes a fool of himself, as when he claims he's keeping an open mind about who to vote for. Then again, he has a large audience and I hope he picks up the story.

Kerry is running scared on his pathetic record........all he and his minions know to do is attack the truth-tellers.
