Kerry Backfire: New TV Stations Want to Air Vietnam Film (WHOOHOOO!!)
newsmax ^

Posted on 10/13/2004 7:34:33 AM PDT by LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget

Complaints against the Sinclair Broadcasting network by John Kerry's presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee may have backfired, with non-Sinclair TV stations now expressing an interest in airing the documentary "Stolen Honor," which chronicles the candidate's role in the anti-Vietnam War movement.

"A few other TV stations around the country have contacted the producer of this documentary as well," Sinclair spokesman Mark Hyman told nationally syndicated radio host G. Gordon Liddy on Tuesday. "So there appears to be some growing interest in making this available to the nation's viewers."

Hyman said that Sinclair's decision to air the documentary was driven in part by a desire to pick up the slack from other broadcast networks, which have increasingly shunned news coverage in favor of entertainment programming. Referring the 13 Vietnam-era POWs who appear in "Stolen Honor" criticizing Kerry for protesting the war alongside the likes of anti-American actress Jane Fonda, Hyman told Liddy, "If anybody has earned the right to be heard on the subject of Vietnam, it's these men, who suffered such horrific abuse and unspeakable torture."

"For 31 years John Kerry has run away from that," he added.

Hyman said that while the exact format for the broadcast has yet to be determined, Sinclair has invited Kerry to give his side of the story after the broadcast.

You can get your own copy from www.stolenhonor.com for 15 bucks. That's what I did, and after watching it I've been loaning it out for others to see.

A good investment.

I can see why the Kerry camp wants the FCC to bar this broadcast. When the truth is not on your side, your damage control is limited to trying to silence those telling it.

"How can he refuse"?

Ignore it just like he has the reuests for his filing the 180. Perhaps Soros can purchase the Sinclair Broadcast Group prior to the showing date.

Call it a DEBATE between JOHN KERRY and the FORMER VIETNAM P.O.W's who feel they were injured by Kerry.

Allow the debate to be against an empty chair if Kerry REFUSES to show up.

ALLOW any other networks to rebroadcast the debate IN ITS ENTIRITY

email others such as CSPAN, PAX, CBN, 700 club, FOX, FNC, to rebroadcast the debate

Sinclair Broadcasting to air Stolen Honor on all 62 of their television stations, during prime time, October 21 –24.

I'll believe it when it happens. Sinclair may still cave and show it AFTER the election.

This movie isn't going to have any impact if it's airing on 62 stations sprinkled around the country. None of the local stations I have are Sinclair owned, so it won't be showing here, as much as I'd like to see this show or record it for others to watch.

Large swathes of the country are out of luck. Like I said, this movie will have ZERO impact where it's needed most.

See http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1243757/posts?page=93#93 for the map of stations. About all are in tight battleground states. It will have an impact.
