TV channels to rubbish Kerry as ' Traitor ' on eve of US election

:angry:

Check out this propaganda

Looks like the Bush camp will get some help in their smear campaign

QUOTE

One of America's biggest television companies has announced plans to broadcast a film days before the presidential election that portrays the Democratic candidate John Kerry as betraying his fellow soldiers in Vietnam

If it's true, that's the last nail in the coffin of America's media concentration. Fox news which has now become a tool of GW / Rumsfield thought to give as little coverage as possible to the stolen votes by Bush, fails to mention the terrible GW job on the economy or will give minimum reports on the torture in Abu Graib
Fox news a station that would have made Hitler proud. A newstation created by the radical Neo-Con Roger Ailes - media adviser to Bush. Maybe some might consider it low to argue/compare anyone to Nazis, but keep in mind that in June,2004, the Repubs (on GeorgeWBush.com) posted the faces(pics) of Kerry's democratic party: Kerry, Gore, Gephardt, and ....Hitler.

The conservative Sinclair Broadcast Group will reportedly present the film as news on the 62 local channels it owns nationwide.

The film will replace normal primetime programmes supplied by the national networks and reach up to a quarter of the electorate, many in critical battleground states, about a week before the election on November 2. Democratic senators have also said they will protest to the federal communications commission (FCC). The FCC is chaired by Michael Powell, the son of the secretary of state, Colin Powell !!!!

Good he is a traitor, after being the war hero bit. He Fliped floped to being an anti war person because thats whats was popular back then. He turned on his fellow men of arms and called them barbarians, baby killers, in the way that Ganghas Kong was. He was there too why would he lie about his men?
When he was runing against Dean in primarys he was anti war, now runing for president he is an pro war war hero. We just suppost to forget that he turned on his men, and is saying what a hero he was. Flip flopper in action.
Yes he is a traitor of the worest kind. :laugh:

Michael. Moore did a good job of trashing the President. CBS tried, but got busted.

That is politics in a free country, I suppose.

I could do without the mudslinging on both sides.

Yang Liwei Rocket · 2004-10-13 22:01:01

You know I still admire much about what the USA stood for, and America has often been a place of greatness. However it also gets quiet messed up at times, and there are certain issues.
Its a shame how all the mud slinging goes on, and how people are trying to politically screw each other over. Now for the Kerry issue.

and what he ( Kerry ) said:

"I would like to talk to you a little bit about what the result is of the feelings these men carry with them after coming back from Vietnam. The country doesn't know it yet, but it has created a monster, a monster in the form of millions of men who have been taught to deal and to trade in violence, and who are given the chance to die for the biggest nothing in history; men who have returned with a sense of anger and a sense of betrayal which no one has yet grasped."

How the moron rightwingnutbags, like our Earthfirst twist it:

"Kerry said that Vietnam vets were ' Barbarian baby killers'!"

Let's get back to the Sinclair media issue and TV channels to rubbish Kerry as ' Traitor ' on eve of US election

TV channels to rubbish Kerry as ' Traitor ' on eve of US election
you can find reports at
thedailystar , morons dot org, and voice of America news have it

The Sinclair Broadcast Group is going to force other sations to show an anti-Kerry video calling the democrats Traitors .
Sinclair has ordered its 62 stations to air the program just a few days before the real election day - on November 2.

"No one has ever lost votes by lying to the American people!" In the ultimate Orwellian convolution, the draft dodger (Bush) has become the war hero, and the genuine war hero (Kerry) has become a war criminal! In the recently concluded Republican Convention at New York, the name of Osama Bin Laden, the real criminal, and Al Qaeda, the real criminal den were not mentioned even once. The message of the carefully choreographed convention was simple: Osama and Al Qaeda had morphed into a new enemy: Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry! Bush and the Republicans' rallying cry was: forget Osama and Al Qaeda, America must destroy this new, even more sinister enemy, John Kerry.

The Sinclair Group has made large donations to President Bush's re-election campaign. The company made news in April when it ordered seven stations not to air another program that featured a roll call of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq.

While Mr. Bush has spent $200 billion so far on the war in Iraq, average Americans are hurting. Bush's ill-advised tax cut for the wealthy has resulted in a record $422 billion budget deficit this year alone. Unemployment remains high, close to 6 per cent. Mr. Bush will go down in history as the first President since Herbert Hoover during the depression of the 1920s to record a net loss of jobs during his 4 years in office. Between January 2001 and November 2004, America will have lost at least one million jobs. The stock market is sputtering; the NASDAQ is down 60 per cent from its all time high. More Americans are without health insurance than ever. Mr. Bush has appointed the most rightwing judges to the nation's courts. His environmental record is atrocious. Last week, to please the gun lobby he let the ban on assault weapon lapse after ten years, infuriating the law enforcement agencies who will be the prime target of these weapons. Bush has no exit strategy for Iraq.

Federal election law prohibits corporations and labor unions from engaging in or funding "electioneering communication" within 60 days of an election.

Sinclair's markets clearly reach more than 50,000 people. They clearly intend to broadcast an anti-Kerry smear-umentary within very few days of the election. Few reasonable people would call "Stolen Honor" news any more than they'd call "Fahrenheit 9/11" news.

John Kerry's rise in the polls always seems to be quickly followed by the raising of the terror threat level by Attorney General Ashcroft and Homeland Security Secretary Ridge. This way Americans are scared into rallying around the commander-in-chief. Last weak, Vice President Cheney told Americans that if Kerry is elected, America will be hit again by terrorist. The press reported it as "Vote for Bush or Die!"

Sinclair Broadcasting Group, which owns the largest chain of TV stations in the United States, has told its stations to broadcast a documentary accusing Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry and democrats of betraying the United Sates of America.

I am not a lawyer, and if you think Federal election law is confusing, you're not alone. Having said that, it certainly appears to me that Sinclair Broadcasting intends to violate Federal election law, specifically the prohibition of corporate election campaigning within 60 days of an election

John Kerry has forgotten how vicious the Bushes can be.

In 2000, when the junior Bush's campaign was faltering and Senator John McCain's surging, the Bushies circulated lies that MCCain was a traitor against the United Sates, and that his adopted daughter from Bangladesh, Brigitte, is actually his daughter with a black prostitute!

CBS News apologized under pressure last month, saying it could not verify the authenticity of documents it used in a segment dealing with President Bush's National Guard service record.

The media and the entertainment industry have frequently been in the spotlight in the run-up to this year's presidential election.

Sinclair in April told its ABC-affiliated stations not to show a "Nightline" show on which the names of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq were read.

News reports say The Sinclair Group has made large donations to President Bush's re-election campaign. The company made news in April when it ordered seven stations not to air another program that featured a roll call of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq. Sinclair TV Group, who tried to block news on the Enron corruption , the stations that made little mention of Cheney's robbery
can you say Halliburton ?
and whose executives have given tens of thousands of dollars to President George W Bush's
They have revealed plans to show the smear film calling hima a traitor and attacking Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry just days before US the election

The United States founding fathers would be turning in their graves !!

No offense but as a non-American, and all non-Americans really should keep out of internal affairs.

IMHO Kerry wasn't a traitor, just in exceptionally bad taste. Also Micheal Moores been distributing propaganda for over a year now, it's about time we got something to balance it.

If only life for us non-americans was that simple. <sigh>

P.S. Im assuming youre saying non-americans shouldnt interfere/comment with/on whats happenig in the US elections.

How boring if no one across the border would even comment! Not to mention vaguely embarassing...

Sinclair, Fox News, et al. are gradually losing their claim to objectivity on certain issues. The expected "documentary" is so closely in keeping with their recent coverage that I doubt the regular viewers will even notice the difference. It's just a shame that they command such a big audience.

Fortunately, "commanding" his audience will not allow Sinclair to send them forth like flying monkeys. Conservatives think, too. Generally. :;):

I agree, but let's not pretend that ABC, CBS, MSNBC, and CNN all have an agenda too.

There just aren't any non-biased American news sources left. If you want to figure things out for yourself you have to dig up primary sources and formulate your own opinions.

I blame all the 24 hour news networks for changing the news from information to entertainment, thus all the uber spin.

All seems confusing. Who is the better campaigner ?

US military, industrial, and government career administrators
will keep running the world. From behind the curtains.

Heh, last night on Leno Michael Moore offered F9/11 to SBG completely free.

Part of me thinks that from a business standpoint, SBG should go for it (because the commerical value alone of this would be out of the roof). But ideologically, it would screw them badly.
