Sinclair to show TWO anti-Kerry films?

[TexasSissy]

If I understand the yahoo.news article about Sinclair firing its Washington Bureau Chief, Sinclair is not only going to air the anti-Kerry "documentary," it is ALSO going to produce an hour long NEWS PROGRAM SPECIAL about the documentary. So that's TWO SHOWS. One this week, and the news program next week? Is that it?

Should we be worried? Or calmly assured that they are so desperate that they are still hounding this old horse from August?

1. never doubt the stupidity of the sheep

I'm serious...the fact that the outrage is not on a more massive scale really worries me...

2. Don't get me wrong... I'm slightly encouraged by our movement

but why doesn't the average person understand that THEY (the average person) OWN THE AIRWAVES?????

3. I thought that the

hour long news program thing would be immediately after the "documentary"? At one time is was going to be a panel discussion of the film and supposedly they asked Kerry to attend? I am not sure if that is correct, but it seems like what I heard.

4. They seem to be trying to start some sort of civil war or something

we really just need to try to ignore them as we tear them apart financially

5. My thoughts exactly...

7. Two hours?

"Stolen Honor" is only 42 minutes, so I figured the remaining part of the hour would be filled with "news" content about the film from their NewsCentral desk. What exactly that could be, I can't figure out. Jon Leiberman, the guy who was fired by Sinclair today, said there was no way to validate what was said in "Stolen Honor," so it seems like the "news" team there has 18 minutes to fill with fluff, or 78 minutes if this Yahoo article is to be believed.

10. They're inviting comments. I tried to tell fellow Dems not to e-mail them

that that's what they wanted, controversy and interest. They WANT e-mails.

Fuck Sinclair. They're going down - and they know it.
