Let's pretend for a minute that Sinclair was Left, not Right.
Edited on Wed Oct-13-04 07:29 AM by trumad
Imagine if Sinclair was run by Liberals and were opposed to George W. Bush.

Then imagine if they ordered all their affiliates to air the "truthful" Fahrenheit 9/11, 5 days before the election?

Question to the folks on the Right defending Sinclair.... What would you do if my scenario actually happened? We know what you would do... You'd do the same thing you tried to do when F9/11 came out (in the movie theaters) except you'd do it with twice the outrage!

One more question.... How do you Repukes live with the Rank Hypocrisy that courses through your very souls?

1. i heard people on the radio yesterday defending sincliar
it was on a local show, and the host would point out their hypocrisy especially with the "we do not believe such political statements should be disguised as news content." quote.

basically they seemed to recognize it was wrong but that it was ok because of the liberal media. so there you go.

seems these people had quite a different tune about about what should be viewed on the public airwaves when it was a movie about ronald regan. hypocrits, pure and simple.

what this situation has shown me is they really do not care as long as their side gets the advantage, they would just assume Dumbya take over the U.S. and delcare himself king.

3. We should insist that...
...it be considered an "in-kind" contribution to the Bush campaign, what's the total on airing a however long infomercial on how many stations/markets?
