PBS Frontline: Bush/Kerry parallel biographies. Better than F911!

[fiorello]

Pardon me if this was posted before. "Frontline: The Choice" aired Thursday, it's available on the web. Every undecided voter should watch it!

This affected me even more than Fahrenheit 911 - and it made me like Kerry every bit as much as I detest Bush. Kerry really is the best of our generation.

It's all here: Kerry's heroism in Vietnam, versus Bush's...uh, you know. Kerry speaking for Vietnam Vets against the war (and getting on Nixon's enemies list) while Bush tries to make money (and fails). Kerry's long record of achievement, Bush's long record as a slacker. The history of Bush's personal smears against every political opponent. Bush reading "My Pet Goat" on 911 while Kerry immediately looks for ways he can help. Kerry's speeches on Iraq in 2002 and 2003 - saying exactly the same thing he says now.

What's most amazing: it sounds like a Democratic propaganda film, but is the straight truth - according to all but the most partisan right-wing reviews.

1. I was working a veterans' event earlier today and a woman came up to us

and started talking about the Frontline episode.

She is a child psychologist and she was overwhelmed with the stark contrast in the two men, and amazed that the regular news media is so irresponsible in how they portray the two in their reporting.

She thanked us for campaigning for Kerry.

3. If Sinclair offers equal time

I hope a Dem 527 can get PBS' permission to show this program on Sinclair. The program comes off as totally non-partisan, but by just showing the facts makes Kerry look far, far superior to *.

<for legal (and political) reasons it has to be a Dem 527 who deals with Sinclair, not the Kerry campaign, and the 527 can't have any coordination or even appearance of coordination with the Kerry campaign>
