Sinclair's "A POW Story", was suppose to feature anti-Kerry documentary “Stolen Honor”... But we were Duped!

Sinclair's "A POW Story", was suppose to feature anti-Kerry documentary “Stolen Honor”, instead a hacked up review of the role Vietnam and media are playing in the 2004 election was served up. WE WERE DUPED! . Based on numerous news stories, media hype, I was anxious to watch a documentary, asking the public to consider hard questions about Kerry’s betrayal of his country and other Vietnam Vets. Sinclair had my attention, but pulled the old “bait and switch” routine. Only short excerpts were shown from “Stolen Honor”, instead a format similar to “cross-fire”, with 1 or 2 people from each side of the argument giving their views. My wife and I honestly felt that this was more like a campaign ad for Kerry, similar to covert biased news stories on ABC News and CBS news that appear unbiased but clearly put Kerry as the hero. Sinclair called this “News Central”. News Central appeared more like a mickey mouse attempt to look and sound like a prime time news show, yet came off so pathetically amateurish, whatever the message, it was now a mere joke.

As a Vietnam Vet, I really wanted the message of “Stolen Honor” to be presented, and I was rooting for Sinclair Broadcasting for being willing to show the documentary in spite of intense pressure to not air “Stolen Honor’. My view is that Sinclair wasted my time, other news shows have presented clearer and certainly more professional editorials on the influence of Vietnam and the media in the 2004 election. Worse than a waste of time, Sinclair’s failure to deliver the show expected, makes Sinclair simply another carpetbagger network that can’t be trusted.

I just finished watching Stolen Honor for free on their website and John Kerry better hope this is not shown

[IndianPrincessOK]

what a shame...what a sham...thanks for taking the time to alert us at FreeRepublci...we will remember this and make sure to pass the word on...Another disguised fair and balanced media that slant to Kerry....how dissapointing!!!!

[Marine_Uncle]

The powers that be (and I don't mean the democrates) must have layed the law down.

[skip_intro]

John Kerry better hope this is not shown

It looks like Kerry has nothing to worry about.

[lilypad]

Not only that, they hyped up the 10 PM news with "stories and opinions of POWS", 2 of 3 people said it doesn't matter what happened, we must look forward". This added insult to injury. I agree with you, we were duped, I felt like I was watching another CBS, boy was Sinclair intimidated. The DNC must really carry a BIG stick!!!God help us. I am really starting to not like America anymore.

[Texas Eagle]

I agree. This was lame.

They spent plenty of time disseminating Sen. Rice-in-the-ass's Vietnam service and then threw is some weird crap about nobody knowing the full story of President Bush's National Guard service. There's all kinds of information out there confirming that President Bush more than fulfilled his Guard obligations.

Amateurish is the perfect word.

[BluH2o]

Agree ... what I watched this evening seemed mostly pro-Kerry ... to the extent I flipped thru the channels thinking I had inadvertently chosen the wrong show. Given the hype this one hour documentary (or, whatever you might call it) was a huge bust.

[GeronL]

I hear it was a pro-Kerry ad more than anything, typical media. Shame on Sinclair

[MJY1288]

I hope they show it next week, but if not, Hopefully there will be some reviews published.

[GeronL]

It is illegal to have Conservative TV in America.

[carrier-aviator]

What? Looks like he's fallen a little nationally and picked up nicely in a few key states.

[MJY1288]

LOL, 59.4 share

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Nice try.

It is devastating. It's no wonder why Kerry and Mainstream Media don't want this shown.

I've heard from friends who watched the Sinclair crap and that's exactly what they called it - crap. Sinclair folded. And the American people are the losers.

he was at 62 .... going down below 59 and falling in less than an hour
