CBS doing Sinclair story--NOW

[Shopaholic]

They said it amounts to an extended commercial for Bushco! Talking about what would happen if advertisers all began to pull their commercials from their stations. Also said that Sinclair vows to stand on principal on this. :crazy:

[high density]

1. Nice report

I'm sure it will be up on the http://www.cbsnews.com site later on tonight.

[Momgonepostal]

2. Interestingly, the Sinclair station is our market is also...

...the CBS affiliate. Hmmmm.

[timber84]

3. Just saw it

The VP for Sinclair says that since Kerry brought his experience in Vietnam into the race that is open for any scrutiny

45. You're probably right...

I just hate to see a person post what someone else said (Sinclair's VP) and get shot down.

What if we are wrong and this is a new DU'er for real? Then we're the assholes.

But this thread is full of Freepers so I should just shut my mouth and hope I don't get flamed for being a Freep sympathizer

[timber84]

56. Real Thing

His comment just pissed me off, just like it did everyone sorry didn't see the rule book

[Debi]

62. He's been pissing on Dems for some time...

Read some of his 'points'

http://www.newscentral.tv/thepoint/thepoint.shtml

[Robbien]

101. When a new poster jumps into a thread posting a

GOP talking point of course they are suspect. Your post just stated the GOP meme and that is it. Nothing else. Exactly as if you were a disrupter expecting us all to get upset and start defending against the meme.

With many paid disrupters coming here every day along with the freepers and the rabid right winger disrupters, new posters are suspect.

[Momgonepostal]

109. Paid disruptors?

Are there really people who are paid to be disruptors on message boards or am I being a dummy?

I would love that job, although having to read all those pro-Bush sites would probably give me a headache.

[Robbien]

Yes, the news at the beginning of the campaign

said that Bush had about 30 paid staffers to surf the web, disrupt, start boycotts of Democratic supports and basically cause havoc.

I do not know how many there are now, but yes there appears to be quite a few.

[Momgonepostal]

121. Damn! nt

[Peanut Gallery]

58. I'm with you

I took the post as a report on what was said also, not an attempt to disrupt.

[Debi]

75. This Sinclair stuff

has all of us jumpy...

Talk about mind control...

Next we won't be able to listen to the radio w/out some druggie telling us that we're losers. OH...WAIT!!

[timber84]

12. Go Back Home?

Huh

[timber84]

Frustrated

feeling your pain in Charlotte

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

8. And since Bush is a wartime pres, his is open as well

[Hubert Flottz]

34. And since Prescott Bush traded with the enemy, let's talk about

the Bush Nazi connections!

[Cha]

19. That's bullshit and they know it..

Kerry brought his whole life into this race..unlike bush who is hiding things under the rug and his BACK!

[Cats Against Frist]

21. 1. Do not listen to right-wing partisan liars

2. Repeat step one, whenever the need arises.

[kerryin2004]

27. The problem is there is no accountability..

Where as no one has come forward to say they served with Bush in Ala, many came forward that were never even near Kerry to slime him. This is just another Swift Boat ad only longer.. It is really sad..What this nation needs to do is pass a law where programs and commercials must be true or else they should be fined..I will put up the facts of F-911 against Stolen Honor any day..

[lancdem]

30. Bullshit

This "documentary" is nothing more than an ad for Bush. How would RWers feel if a bunch of stations showed Fahrenheit 9/11 a few days before the election?

[LittleClarkie]

37. "She was askin' for it"

"If she didn't wanna do it, why'd she wear that tight little dress."

The fact that Kerry brought up his service is no excuse to rape it for political gain.

[Peanut Gallery]

40. That's funny, I thought it was the Swiftboat Liars

who originally brought it up with their smear campaign.

Welcome to DU, by the way timber84 (I'm relatively new myself). :hi:

[timber84]

48. Thanks

boy tough crowd

[henslee]

60. Kind of like the bar scene in Star Wars one.

[Peanut Gallery]

85. I think November 2 can't come soon enough

for a lot of people, myself included. Right now it's a lot like riding in a turbulent flight and anxiously waiting for the plane to land safely.

[wildeyed]

97. yep, you said it.

But welcome. I'm from Charlotte, too. :hi:

[blue neen]

102. Everybody is just upset about Sinclair.

We're sick of this sh*t. We're mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore!

Welcome to DU! We like NC!

[AmyStrange]

!!!! Welcome to the DU !!!!

don't worry about some of our attack dogs. Most of them are just tense with the election less than 3 weeks away. Some of them are just happy little teeny weeny puppies with a big bark and no real bite.

103. Elephant didn't sound very funny...

What I really wanted to say is look asshole I don't have to prove shit to you, what you want a copy of my voter reg to prove. God too much paranoia

[Robbien]

105. but calling a DUer a curse word will get a poster banned

That is definitely not allowed.

[timber84]

107. Shaken things up?

Wow he can call me scum but ass is not allowed?

[Robbien]

122. No his post will probably also be deleted along with yours

Don't know for sure if one or both of you will be banned also. But often banning is the result of being disrespectful to another DUer.

[toddaa]

108. *hint* *hint*

You may not have realized it but you posted a freeper "talking point" which is prompting all the flames from the more trigger happy folk. Next time, put it in quotes and attach a scathing commentary to it. It's kind of stupid, but DU apparently does not discriminate against dimwits.

[timber84]

112. Point taken

I have learned my lesson

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

129. You poor thing

Sorry for the poor treatment you've gotten..welcome to DU :hi: we're not always vicious...it's been a HELL of an election season and the place has been infested with varmints...innocuous posts get some people going :D

[merh]

130. Welcome to DU

expect folks to be on edge. To watch the repukes get away with the crimes they have over the last 4 years is very, very unnerving.

We hate the evil BFEE and all of their minions. Repeat their talking points will cause flames, but I guess you noticed that!

:hi:

Apologies are nice!

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

4. Sounds like...

CBS is dropping the big dime on Sinclair. This is getting interesting.

[Blue Gardener]

5. I wonder if their investors

Want them to stand on principal. I doubt that is the case.

[seabeyond]

43. i know toyota and play it again sports

dont want sinclair to stand on their "principle"

You think that's a threat? It's obviously a reference to restoring

Really? Because to me it sounds like you tried to spell "Calamity"

Calamity Jane, Calamity Jim. That's what it sounded like to me. And then there was some sort of spelling accident on the way to DU registration, and you wound up with "Clamity."

But you are saying it's a word your little daughter just made up one time when you ate clams, and you thought it would be a good DU screenname? Is that it?

Those are fighting words. I have a 21 year old son. He is the most precious thing in the world to me. I am desperately trying to keep him out of this war. I don't want him and his children and his grandchildren to pay off this deficit for the rest of their lives. I hope he gets a president who does more for the environment than invent a "hydrogen car."

We need social security. He will need social security. We need health care and medicine.

Above all we need a president, vice-president, and administration who are not corrupt.

I have never argued with anyone on this forum before, but you came here looking for a fight. I hope my fellow DU'ers make mincemeat out of you.

you are either with us or not.........actually i am not exclusive, i will still fight this battle for all the dumbshits that chose not to be informed, that deny, dont want to know so they can hold onto their position. i am doing this for them, and their children in their stupidity

24. What is the link for that quote?

29. That's funny! Wow!

I think since Kerry brought his Viet Nam Service into this race that the networks should show "Going UpRiver" back that Logic!

[Bullshot]

9. Is this going to be like the Skank Boat Vets ads?

The media spend so much time covering this piece of shit and give it more coverage and air time than it conceivably should have ever received?

Once again, the media go for the crap and neglect covering the real news.

[ibegurpard]

14. Stand on what principle?

Blatantly breaking if not the letter then at least the spirit of campaign laws? WTF?

16. Rather also just covered (briefly) the DAYTON story

Just about ten seconds - not much. But enough to get people asking.

[bush equals idiot]

20. They can stand on principal

as they try to put the pieces of their company back together. I told them they better have lots of Republican friends to sponsor their stations and purchase what's left of their stock.

[atreides1]

46. "Stand on Principal"

It's kind of hard to stand on something they don't possess.

[Curtland256]

69. Curtland's whacko left-wing theory:

Sinclair was never going to air the "documentary"...

1. At the debate tomorrow Bush will exclaim what an evil dirty trick he thinks it is.
2. Sinclair Broadcasting will halt it's "plans" to air it because of the President's brave words.
3. All the zombies watching on TV will fall in love with * for defending even those fighting against him.
4. Votes for Bush will pour in and Karl Rove will climax in his pants.

[high density]

78. Just like Bush denounced the Swift Boat ads?

Yeah, RIGHT!

[dansolo]

81. Will CBS air the forged Niger documents story in response?

[bagnana]

124. Well since David Sinclair has injected himself into this race

I think everyone should go far and wide talking about how he was arrested for driving around town (in a company car) getting a blow job from the local prostitute (he was a regular, apparently). This blow job getting prostitute visiting life endangering married-at-the-time a-hole has the nerve to claim to stand on "principal?"

[LowerManhattanite]
