New York Times Says Sinclair in Trouble

At first I was upset that Sinclair announced their "Stolen Honor" intentions so early, giving the left time to mobilize and protest. But now, I am glad they did, because the controversy will create a larger viewing audience.

I can't remember the Sinclair CEO's name who I keep seeing on TV, but I get the impression that his company could lose a few million and he would still go ahead with this airing. What a strong, decent man he is.

Don't forget to circulate the scheduled airings list for "Stolen Honor" to your email lists...

My friend in Philly told me this last night.
Hopefully things have changed but I wouldn't get my hopes up.
The whining censors are out in full force over this.

[jerks!]

[rocky88]

I just put in an order for a few shares and it feels good!

"If David D. Smith, the CEO of Sinclair Broadcasting, knows what's good for him, he'll forget about airing a documentary critical of Democratic presidential contender Sen. John Kerry.

Isn't it stunning how the Dems/Libs/Socialists are adopting Nazi like tactics more and more?!? The phrase "...know what's good for him..." is a not so veiled threat to Mr. Smith. It's a pathetic statement.

If I were Smith at Sinclair, I would air the documentary several times and then run a half hour of a black screen displaying the following statement:

"This space reserved for the Democratic response. Unlike tactics used at other broadcast organizations, we at Sinclair have invited the Kerry campaign to directly respond to the allegations brough forward in this documentary. What follows is their response..."

90 minute??? All the TV LISTINGS say 60 minutes

Exactly what babygene says, Kerry has said even recently that he is PROUD of his anti-war activities.

So what is all the worry about? He has said he is happy with, wouldn't take it back, wouldn't change it,,,is proud of it!!! How hypocritical of the NYT and all the other Kerry monkeys to be clamoring around saying it shouldn't air!!!

Sinclair must have one heck of a product if it's causing this many hernias in the camp of the communist Dem backers.

Their attempts at censorship are blatant and obvious. Where is Springsteen and Streisand to scream about freedom of speech being suppressed??? OH,,right...they're on the other side, so their arbitrary value of free speech doesn't apply this time.

NOt only do I hope millions watch it, I hope millions more buy it! We are! It WILL hurt Kerry,,using Kerry's own actions and if Kerry were truly worried about it, he'd show up and have a say afterwards...

but he's PROUD of his actions..

BTTT

[SaintDismas]

"New York Times Says Sinclair in Trouble"

Nope, it's the other way around.""

Damn straight. Ain't it funny how worried they are? So concerned for Sinclair? Plus, you know very well that they wouldn't be wailing and knashing their teeth if this wasn't so deliciously good for W. (pronounced Nnn-ashing for y'all down there in Palm Beach)

[Grampa Dave]

The maggots, who pretend to be journalists at the NY Slimes are incapable of writing the truth. That is why they are in love with Kerry, a documented serial Rathering politician.

[Grampa Dave]

[Mich0127]

Exactly...lol

[Grampa Dave]

We must win this battle to defeat Kerri, his silencers posing as mediots and as lawyers for the little guy!

[prairiebreeze]

[Peach]

Amazing; the hypocrisy of the left is breathtaking. We need REAL men to stand up for what is right and I'm glad Sinclar fired that guy who spoke out against Sinclair.

[mewzilla]

Did we ever get a list of Sinclair's advertisers? They have any national ones? I can't get their stations, but I'll try to buy the stuff of any advertiser that sticks with them.

Note to Sinclair's advertisers: Good word of mouth won't cost you a buck, and as Limbaugh's numbers show, there are more of us than them.

[Twinkie]

Bumpalump!!

[Grampa Dave]

General Mills is one of their advertisers, and General Mills will keep their ads on the program.

Maybe someone can post the list of advertisers for us.

[mewzilla]

I've got General Mills written down! :)

And anyone can click here for a listing of all General Mills brands.

[prairiebreeze]

Yeah, I was glad they canned him too.

There is a lot of emotional negatives priced into the price @ ~$6.50/share.

Once the film has shown the liberals that are shorting this will have no incentive to maintain their short. I bought in yesterday at 6.42. Heres hoping i can take some of their money ;)
