CNN showing clips of 'Stolen Honor' while reporting on Sinclair story

[xray s]

I am spending the rest of the night e-mailing every sponsor on a Sinclair station and telling them I am boycotting their products and telling everyone I know to boycott their products.

:mad:

edit;they show the picture of Kerry in the crowd with Fonda. My mistake on thinking it was photoshopped. But there are a bunch of other lies in the damn film. I am just so mad as these assholes

1. That picture is not photoshopped.

There is a photoshopped picture, but that's not it.

5. Which one was shown?

10. Not that bullshit picture again?!

My ghod, they are just recycling the discredited.

[Renew Deal]

18. The bottom one.

[tomfodw]

20. He's two rows behind her

He may not even have known she was there, and vice-versa.

[polmaven]

2. Anyone still wondering

what KKKarl's October surprise is?

[KittyWampus]

3. If This Is It, Then Rove Is Pathetic

[BayCityProgressive]

4. no hes smart

it will work and for the last week of the campaign this is all that will be talked about, especially now that the DNC has drawn more attention to it.

[w4rma]

6. Big media would have drawn the attention to it, otherwise. (nt)

[Waverley_Hills_Hiker]

7. how can you NOT talk about it....

...this is unprecedented.

And the rest of the media is starting to cover it, too.

Is the Kerry campaign going to pretend it doesnt exist.

[lancdem]

8. Excuse me?

Drawn attention to it? What should they have done, sat back quietly and allowed Sinclair to run what amounts to an hour-long Bush-Cheney ad, which violates every campaign law in the books?

Give me break. This is Swift Boat Liars II, and this time we're not ignoring it until it's too late.

[Gabi Hayes]

9. PLEASE publish that list

that is the ONLY effective way to combat this

look what Slimfast did to Whoopi, and the president is a Kerry CONTRIBUTOR!

they need to KNOW that their products are being boycotted

a comprehensive list of sponsors is an absolute necessity!

[BayCityProgressive]

11. Im not saying

it should be ignored. Thats why Rove is smart. The Dems had to say something about it thus giving it more free publicity...same thing Moore did for F 9/11.

[lancdem]

15. And if the Dems expose it for what it is

it could backfire on Bush.

[LittleClarkie]

12. How can Sinclair call this "unscripted"

when we are seeing clips of it on CNN? Which is it, Sinclair Group.

I just sent my bounced email, the one I tried to send to David Smith, to the Sinclair Groups email address for comments ([e-mail])

First I addressed this point:

"First of all, as I see on your website, you are calling "Stolen Valor: Wounds that Never Heal," the special your affiliates will be airing toward the end of October, an "unscripted event." Unless you have decided not to show this documentary, and have instead decided to have only a panel discussion, your explanation is unacceptable. "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal," is a filmed documentary, as a visit to their website clearly shows (www.stolenvalor.com).

So, will you be showing said documentary or not?

Assuming you will be, and are being disingenuous on your website, I will move on to my second point, which is that there are two sides to every story."

From there I cut and pasted my earlier email about showing "Going Upriver" or risking losing business.

Weird, weird, weird response from Sinclair. Is this their way of saying that they will NOT be showing the documentary, or are they trying to pass off the documentary as live? I just don't git it.

[Thrill]

13. I'm convinced this is the October Suprise

Yup

[lancdem]

16. I assume the Kerry campaign has been preparing for it

[gasperc]

23. it's been available for $5 bucks on the internet for awhile

if research hasn't torn it apart line by line and ripped it apart we ought to all be ashamed.

The DNC should have a huge talking point sheet up on the web that we can call into talk shows and sends e-mails tearing the film up.

[deacon]

14. They need to spend more time showing Furious George in the debates

If kerry had that temperment, they wouldn't stop talking about it.

[henslee]

17. If you ask me, the Swifboat style documentary preaches to the choir.

Do you really think undecideds are going to want to watch it after two months of swif boat attacks? I don't.

Still, I'm all for a boycott.

[Generator]

21. I like to think you are right but God what a miserable country we have

It lies to itself about Vietnam and it lies about the current war.

It's so frigging SHOCKING that Kerry was against the Vietnam War?? And that makes him unfit to be President?

These people are the most ridiculous alive. It's like if I said some men are rapists and you said I called all men rapists and it ruined your life.

I'm going nuts. I don't think I can take it anymore.

[justgamma]

19. Rove

promised that by the time he got done everybody would think that Kerry was fighting with the Viet Cong. I know I read that somewhere. I really think this is the October surprise.

24. Which Sinclair story?

The one about the movie or the one about the Sinclair exec getting busted with a hooker giving him a bj?
