It's just not fair.

No one should be allowed to promote and show some documentary just to influence an election.

Well, it'd be ok to promote and show Farenheit 911. That'd be OK. After all, it's not really a documentary.

But certainly not fair to show something called "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal".

Gotta love this stuff.

Who is forcing TV stations to pre-empt their regular prime-time schedule with F9/11?

Damn... if some liberal who happened to own a boat-load of TV stations made all their stations put F9/11 on during prime-time, days before the election, it'd be equally as outrageous.

Are you saying that this is happening also?

It is wrong, and I doubt they will be allowed to show it

Whew!..... jesus... I thought fer a second I was losing my mind.

CBS should be forced by the FCC to show it several times to balance the damage they attempted to do with the forged Bush documents. Speaking of which, what's this about them releasing more info on this scandal but not until after the election?

Up to 62 television stations owned or managed by the Sinclair Broadcasting Group

So, let me get this straight... Sinclair is forcing himself to show this on the stations rightfully under his control? That's an outrage?

Sorry, don't get it.

It's just like Soros putting 20 billion out with the sole purpose of defeating Bush. Soros is using a multi-media approach that he controls by virture of money. Sinclair is using a single-media approach that he controls by virtue of money.

Also, I won't be "outraged" if some stations are "forced" to accept money for airtime and the buyer decides to show F/911.. of course, even MM doesn't pretend that F/911 is a "documentary".

Nor would it outrage me "if some liberal who happened to own a boat-load of TV stations made all their stations put F9/11 on during prime-time, days before the election". In fact, I've sort of been expecting that.

CBS has created an independant investigation on its own self regarding the memos.

FOX's list of BS stories would fill the grand canyon, but you'll never see them going to the lengths that CBS has in trying to ammend the situation. Not in a million years.

On top of that, CBS has spiked several perfectly legitimate stories since the scandal.... cuz they're scared.

You won't see FOX do that either.

Yer damned straight it's an outrage.

Nash, No other national network has done what CBS just did. They get no pass.

Toad · « **Reply #24 on:** October 11, 2004, 05:07:33 PM »

LOL, but it's NOT an "outrage" for Soros to use his incredible assets to defeat George Bush, no matter the expense?

You can't see it's really the same thing? Try to think of Sinclair as a 527 buying media time.......... just like Soros does.

Maybe that will clear it up for you.

Nash · « **Reply #25 on:** October 11, 2004, 05:09:24 PM »

Liz, I'm all for the lengths CBS is going to in trying to figure out what happened, in admitting it's culpability, and in ammending its processes.

You don't see FOX going to the same lengths. I mean, they've done completely fabricated stories... and all that happens is that it dissapears from their website after a sufficient amount of people start saying "wtf?"

Toad, it dissapoints me to see the lengths you sometimes go to in trying to defend the so completely absurd.

Soros doesn't force anyone to do anything. Soros doesn't have a significant control over the media. Soros is far from alone in contributing money to his respective party.

This is so different.

There's a reason why the FCC exists. The airwaves aren't some free-for-all playground for the whims of partisans.

Lizking · « **Reply #27 on:** October 11, 2004, 05:15:48 PM »

Show me one example, Nash. I don't read their site much, but I haven't heard nor seen that. Re: CBS-If you think the way they reacted to, much less how they handled the story itself, then you ARE losing your mind.

FOX never posted false informations nor unbacked assertions...

FOX is the most unbiased and objective news service existing

Rupert Murdoch is my god and it's feked late I'm pretty sure I've posted something stupid tonight I will regret tomorrow ...

Hmm... Powell's record seems to contradict this.

Ever heard of ClearChannel?
