CBS Evening News, October 12. Dan Rather announced: "In the presidential campaign, there's a whole new twist tonight to negative campaigning on television."
On Tuesday night, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann, who in August denounced the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ads as a new "low" in politics and proceeded to try to discredit them, led with how "the Democrats prepare for war over an anti-Kerry film to be shown on a string of right-wing TV stations," though they are mainly small market Fox, WB and UPN affiliates with little, if any, news programming, and he soon asked a guest: "Is this still political discourse at this point or has it moved closer to Lyndon LaRouche or the American Nazi Party demanding air time?"
Olbermann's first question: "Is the Moore thing less of a danger zone journalistically here because you have to buy it, you have to go out and actually agree to watch it, and he's not presenting it as news, but the airing of 'Stolen Honor' is being presented over the air and served up as essentially unadulterated fact?"

It's payback for the "Daisy Ad" of 1964.
Keep covering the controversy, and keep showing those clips!

I posted on this when this happened, thank you for the actual transcript. It was outrageous. But the VP held his own and more. Shut ole Durbin mouth.
SHOVE IT!
Yours Truly, A Vietnam Veteran accused by John Kerry on the floor of the Senate of beheading people like the subhumans in Iraq that are beheading people, and had to explain to his 13 year old daughter why a U. S. Senator would make such an outrageous claim against her father.
Keith Olberman proclaimed at the end of an interview with two guests discussing the upcoming final debate between Kerry and Bush. "I, of course, will determine who is the winner."
Wow! Du has their bowels in an uproar over this. I just love it
Oh please...
Hypocrite Kerry 'Couldn't Think' for 40 Minutes on 9/11
Rangel is such an idiot.
FWIW, Sinclair stations reach 24% of households. That would place them in 6th place in that regard, trailing Viacom (, Fox, General Electric, Paxon Communications and Tribune Broadcasting
I'm amazed at how hard the dims are fighting this. They have to know that fighting the Swift Vets was what gave them such a boost and fighting this will have the same effect. They must really be scared!
My mistake...realized as soon as I hit post it was actually Charlie Gibson...but apparently he's an idiot too if he truly believes that garbage. I have been so incensed over Rangel's draft tactics that every time I see the name Charlie, I just get mad.
Sawyer actually sounds pretty fair here.
Notice how they showed the clips that can be interpreted as an attack on the anti-war movement as a whole, rather than anything with Kerry or the other leaders like Hayden and Fonda. I figured this would be a tactic they would try. They are hoping to make the Swiftees and POWs look like they are saying that everyone who opposed the war is a traitor, when they are really saying that John Kerry and the VVAW leadership were traitors.
How many MIA's died because KERRY (put in charge of finding MIA's) came back and said there weren't any?
