I wonder how much it would take for the SBV's to be able to just put at least the most damaging parts of the film on the net for any and all to see???

After all the extra publicity the panicked Kerry is giving it - EVERYone would watch... That would give a monster landslide to Bush and there'd be no room for cries of "fraud-fraud" and months of law suits, hanging America out for world shame yet again. What would it involve?

Forward P/E (fye 31-Dec-05)¹: 41.41
PEG Ratio (5 yr expected)¹: 1.96
Profit Margin (ttm): 6.21%
Total Debt (mrq)²: 1.70 Billion
Book Value Per Share (mrq): 2.813

Borrowed up to the gills, low profit margin and marginal P/E = bad investment

Mel Gibson made a fortune off of the "bad publicity".

this is great - but it's the democrats and others that are leaning Kerry that have to be reached...
it needs total national coverage

May Sinclair profit despite their plans against him and may the veterans be vindicated




If Sinclair can get what he needs to hang tough - kerry will go down. After the election, the advertisers will come back. Their bottom line is their bottom line...not conviction

You're right .. and all the noise has generated a lot of independent stations making a request from Sinclair to also show the program.

In fact, I'm thinking of calling my local independent station - who is very pro-military - and asking if they are considering carrying the documentary. Maybe all of us should do that.

>>"I've decided I don't want to advertise on them," said Adam Lee, the president of Lee Auto Malls, which owns 10 auto dealerships in Portland Me., and has ordered its advertising off the CBS affiliate, WGME.

Funny again... Aren't those wascally wepublicans the wons wiff all the money?

He must be a USED CAR salesman! (or else this publicity of his own will backfire and he will be in chapter 11 in six months)

Propaganda not in the sense that it is untrue but presented with the intent to pursuade others with a one-sided presentation.

The MSM does this on a daily basis and they resent like hell anybody else trying to do what they believe is a right only for themselves.

Do you realize that all this hoopla by the Demwits is just going to make more people want to watch it, the same way they bought Unfit for Command because the Dems kept trashing it and stores kept trying to "lose" their copies of it. That just made people more determined to read it. Now a lot of people are going to watch and find out things they didn't want to know about Mr. Kerry.(I refuse to call a slime ball like him senator)

I agree, it's not propaganda, it's history, the untold history the liberal media also didn't want anyone to know. I bought the dvd weeks ago at customflix.com. Mr. "I have a Plan" better fast forward to a Plan B, like go dust his senate office! It will be even better when he is voted OUT of the senate, him and Mr. Chappaquedick (sp?)there. I can only hope that the one good thing to come of Mr. "I have a Plan" running for Prez, is that his home state has learned enough about him to toss his a$$ out!

Any possible way we could ping this throughout Freeper world and try to give Sinclair some investment help? It looks like they've suffered massive selling of their stock ever since Sinclair refused to air Koppel's Nightline special in April that propagandized the troops deaths.

We should think of this as not just an investment, but a worthwhile political contribution. We are heavily damaged by liberal media and have so few conservatives in the industry :-(

Should have included the chart so you could take a look... check out how it has been driven down since they refused to air Koppel's hitpiece in April.

Here is the database used against Sinclair to boycott advertisers.
Tell them we'd like to see their ad buys increase.

Needs to be investigated!!
Use the censors own tools against their cause. Email all of their advertisers at once.

They say you can customise the email message. I don't trust them that you can't leave out their canned hate message. Someone could give it a try

Oh, I don't know. It's running on consecutive nights (Thu. and Fri. this week at 8:00 p.m.) on the two Sinclair stations in Milwaukee (ch. 18 & 24). I'm planning on watching both, and I would never be watching those stations at those times. There are probably thousands and thousands in this market who plan to do the same.

I guess I fail to see the financial risk.
