LOL! Freeper Inbreds Claim They Were "DUPED" By Sinclair

Edited on Fri Oct-22-04 11:10 PM by jefferson_dem

Here's yet another disgruntled freaker thread. They are in absolute meltdown over there --- LOL! No dignity! Life must suck in their wacky world. :toast: >>

Sinclair's "A POW Story", was suppose to feature anti-Kerry documentary �Stolen Honor�, instead a hacked up review of the role Vietnam and media are playing in the 2004 election was served up. WE WERE DUPED! . Based on numerous news stories, media hype, I was anxious to watch a documentary, asking the public to consider hard questions about Kerry�s betrayal of his country and other Vietnam Vets. Sinclair had my attention, but pulled the old �bait and switch� routine. Only short excerpts were shown from �Stolen Honor�, instead a format similar to �cross-fire�, with 1 or 2 people from each side of the argument giving their views. My wife and I honestly felt that this was more like a campaign ad for Kerry, similar to covert biased news stories on ABC News and CBS news that appear unbiased but clearly put Kerry as the hero. Sinclair called this �News Central�. News Central appeared more like a mickey mouse attempt to look and sound like a prime time news show, yet came off so pathetically amateurish, whatever the message, it was now a mere joke.

As a Vietnam Vet, I really wanted the message of �Stolen Honor� to be presented, and I was rooting for Sinclair Broadcasting for being willing to show the documentary in spite of intense pressure to not air �Stolen Honor�. My view is that Sinclair wasted my time, other news shows have presented clearer and certainly more professional editorials on the influence of Vietnam and the media in the 2004 election. Worse than a waste of time, Sinclair�s failure to deliver the show expected, makes Sinclair simply another carpetbagger network that can�t be trusted.

Not only that, they hyped up the 10 PM news with "stories and opinions of POWS", 2 of 3 people said it doesn't matter what happened, we must look forward". This added insult to injury. I agree with you, we were duped, I felt like I was watching another CBS, boy was Sinclair intimidated. The DNC must really carry a BIG stick!!!God help us. I am really starting to not like America anymore.

Agree ... what I watched this evening seemed mostly pro-Kerry ... to the extent I flipped thru the channels thinking I had inadvertently chosen the wrong show. Given the hype this one hour documentary (or, whatever you might call it) was a huge bust.

It is illegal to have Conservative TV in America.
