The Eternal Twilight of the Sinclair Mind

[NeoConsSuck]

Jon Leiberman was fired for challenging Sinclair Broadcasting's cardinal rule: partisanship before principle. But the company's decision to back away from its original plan reveals the high price of playing politics. Story Tools

Golly, gee whiz! That’s what Mark Hyman, VP of Corporate Relations at the Sinclair Broadcast Group, seemed to be saying when asked if his company, the largest owner of local TV stations in the country, is biased against John Kerry: "Why would you say that? … I certainly hope not. There shouldn’t be."

Goodness, how could anyone come to such an outlandish conclusion?

Here’s how: in mid-September, 10 commentaries delivered on-air by Hyman in a 12-day period bashed the Democratic candidate. He accused Kerry of joining "the Navy … to avoid being drafted into the Army" and of "a lifetime of supporting communist forces opposed to the U.S."

1. silly neoconsuck.

they are NOT anti-kerry. It is just that they are pro-Bush. That's a big difference.
You see, they have a "positive" message, not a negative one. They are positively for Boy George.

And these swiftboat guys with this documentary, it's not attacking Kerry. it's promoting those guys' Viet Nam service. Really. Trust me. Honest. I mean it. No fingers crossed.

It is only evil democratic spinmeisters and wrong-headed conspiracy theorists who could ever think that Sinclair was anti- anything!

Sheesh.
