Incredible ... can't get on Drudge to read the story. Anyone else having problems?
Incredible. Dems goose stepping right across our first amendment, just as they have done to the rest of the Bill of Rights.

Why is anyone surprised? Kerry has always sided with the communists - 1971 North Vietnam - 1985 Nicaragua - and now he sides with North Korea, the corrupt French, Russians, and Chinese. He has also made contact with the Iranian Ayatollahs last February to work out some deal like Clinton did with North Korea. He is currently trying to negotiate with the terrorists of Al Queda through Arab contacts against US policy. The AFL-CIO are the brownshirts. He is dangerous and it is becoming increasingly dangerous for our country.
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.”
Heal the cripples and cripple the healers is the Edwards Doctrine.
Now this tid bit about threatening the press. These guys are in serious trouble.
Don't worry Chaddy boy...you WON'T get elected.
Is that the Brown Shirt thing that he is suggesting? Anybody or company that disagrees with them will be shut down?
Does anyone know where I can find a transcript of the Fox show with Clanton's threats against Sinclair?
