Even more crap about sinclair

EDIT: I posted a duplicate Cheney loves fox thread oops!

SINCLAIR REQUIRES JOURNALISTS TO READ PRO-BUSH STATEMENTS: In September 2001, Sinclair Broadcasting required its affiliates to air messages "conveying full support" for the Bush administration. At a Baltimore affiliate, WBFF "officials required news and sports anchors, even a weather forecaster, to read the messages, "which included statements such as " wants you to know that we stand 100% behind our President." Several WBFF staffers objected on the grounds that reading the statements would "erode their reputations as objective journalists" because it made them appear to be "endorsing specific government actions."

SINCLAIR REFUSES TO AIR AD HIGHLIGHTING 2003 BUSH ERROR: In July 2003, Sinclair Broadcasting refused to allow WMSN TV – its FOX affiliate in Madison, WI – to air a DNC advertisement that featured a clip of President Bush making the false claim "Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa" in his 2003 State of the Union Address. Three other Madison stations, including ABC, NBC and CBS, readily agreed to air the ad. The Madison CBS affiliate, WISC, said the advertisement was "no worse than any other political ad."

1. That doesn't sound suspicious at all.

Fox constantly compliments Cheney.

So Cheney compliments Fox.

So Fox will continue to copmliment Cheney.

Who will probably continue to compliment Fox.

We should warn Cheney he's coming dangerously close to gay marraige.

3. lol, why not, the Bush administration owns it

This is like China praising the official state channel.

edit: odd, the entire post was edited and changed. Anyway, my response was to the post when it said Cheney praises Fox news for accuracy and he watches it all the time.
