Why don't we USE the showing of the movie to DEMAND equal time? |
|
We KNOW the best antidote is the truth - SUNSHINE.

If ABC goes ahead as we expect they will - it's imperative for us to DEMAND a rebuttal.

1. While I think it's a capital idea, do you really think ABC will deign |
|
to satisfy our wants when they've been deaf to our implorations this week?

5. Yes - but NOT doing it puts them on the spot to explain WHY they chose to |
|
allow ONE story without giving the same consideration to the other side.
Heck, our side doesn't even NEED 5hrs. We can do it with half that.

9. The problem is that there aren't sides in this story but |
|
absolute truths and facts. The fact that they have chosen to distort the truth means that the real facts need to come out somewhere, but I doubt it will be from them. I find it so disgusting and heinous that they would take this tragedy in American history and try to politicize it that I don't have words to express my outrage.

13. Yes, let's hope the movie made about Paul Thompson's |

Timeline gets enough exposure to counter the lies.

4. equal time is pre Reagan ordering his FCC to not require equal time - & |
|
the law to restore it was vetoed by Reagan.
Clinton had a chance to restore it by fiat - the same way Reagan ended it - but Clinton did not want to be seen as interfering with the media.
So I doubt "equal time" requests will get very far.

6. Doesn't REQUIRE equal time, but we should still DEMAND rebuttal time. |

7. It might not get very far, but we should make the demand anyway. |
|
Their refusal will show them up for the partisan hacks they are, and the Repukes won't be able to use the "liberal media" fiction any more.

10. There is a good political argument there |
|
Edited on Sat Sep-09-06 08:00 PM by Jim4Wes
as other posts have pointed out there is not a legal leg to stand on. But that is not whats important. Even if Disney refuses some type of rebuttal time it can make them look crooked, particularly if the backgrounds of the writer and director is exposed.
I meant rebuttal time not equal time.

12. I think ABC should be required to offer the use of 'Factoids' to a panel |
|
Edited on Sat Sep-09-06 08:08 PM by TahitiNut
... of selected Democrats and independent journalists ... and have them pop up like post-its every time a factual inaccuracy or one-sided piece of crap surfaces. ABC certainly has the technology.
The same thing could be added to the DVD ... like a commentary track. :shrug:
The false pretense of 'unbiased'/'factual' is blown away when one considers how easily this might've been done.

14. We could write letters to the newspapers advocating your idea |
|
Newspapers still feel a bit of a rivalry with broadcast "news". They might jump on it.

A rebuttal that could show them parroting the GOP line.

17. Come up with $40 Million and the All Bullshit Channel will air it. |
|
To do otherwise would be against precedent.
