Lets talk Coppes AFTER you pull CBS licence.

I sent my complaint about the CBS News airing of forged documents to my local CBS television affiliate, and to its owner. The owner? Sinclair Broadcasting!

So here is Sinclair Broadcasting, owner of television broadcasting stations in quite a few markets, and using various network affiliations. In my market, a CBS affiliate will be airing Stolen Valor.

Can anybody tell me who the Sinclair Group is and what channel they are going to air this on?

There's so much noise, I can't hear anything.

How many times will Bush kick at Lucy's football before he learns? Appointing democrats as a gesture of goodwill ALWAYS backfires because Dems are the enemey within his administration.

He pets the dems, they bite him, he pets again.

It's a great publicity stunt BECAUSE the Dems are stupid, and it is working beautifully...so long as Sinclair actually shows the film.

Sinclair is a media ownership company. They are the equivalent of someone like NBC-Universal, or AOL/TimeWarner, or ABC/Disney. They [SBG] own 62 stations nationwide. Most of them are in key battleground states.

Isn't Copp the Clinton appointee who keeps giving Howard Stern a hard time? Of course Howard blames Bush.

Do you think this documentary will show Kerry urinating and burning the flag?

If so, he'd be seen sqatting over the flag instead of standing upright over it.

I sent them a note of encouragement yesterday but today the DUers have been boycotting the advertisers and one (SYLVAN LEARNING CENTERS) pulled their ads. The DUer will be protesting at all the Sinclair TV stations. There is a massive effort and the DNC has been emailing everyone to do this.

I wouldn't think of this as just a publicity stunt. I listen to the 2 minute commentary by their communications director Mark Hyman on my 10:00pm news.

This guy is right on.

I agree, it's quite misleading. Apparently Drudge's hits have been down about a million per day and I think he's reaching. There is no way Copps (I say, did you know he worked for Sen. Hollings?) can make this call on his own. However, we certainly know where he stands on the issue.

Kerry people just said "they'd better hope we aren't elected" according to Rush.
.......


I wish Rush or O'Reilly didn't require a paid sub to listen to on line! I can't afford it.
I can get Hannity and Melved etc...
but if Rush etc would also let us listen on line - a lot more fol would hear him - and that is crucial.
maybe we could appeal to him? After all, it we have to pay for each one - we'd go broke...it really cuts down o his listeners.
I get him on regular radio but the reception is iffy - and I sometimes wonder if the signal isn't deliberately messed with because other programming on the station doesn't have the problem.
