Conservative broadcasters' agenda EXPOSED.
Edited on Fri Apr-30-04 12:23 PM by ArtieBoy
They used to try to hide it, but now they do it in plain sight! What we perceived is reality!

From CNN.com:

(CNN) -- Sinclair Broadcast Group has ordered its seven ABC stations not to broadcast Friday's "Nightline" that will air the names and photographs of the more than 500 U.S. troops killed in the Iraq war.

In a statement online, the Sinclair group said the "Nightline" program "appears to be motivated by a political agenda designed to undermine the efforts of the United States in Iraq."

"We find it to be contrary to public interest," he said.


*Edit for misspelling.

2. A Liberal NEWSCORP is the ONLY solution!
Liberal Radio/Liberal News/Liberal Newspapers/Liberal Pundits!

The Right Wing has been using this method of all Conservatives for YEARS!!!!

We must do the same!

11. Hehehehe, he IS!
He just doesn't know it yet! This occupation of Iraq may have him re-thinking some choices.

13. We don't want McCain
His politics are far too rightwing. However he does stand out in the Republican Party as a person with integrity. While I think the Democrats win in the integrity department, we do have our own sleazeballs.

14. Isn't This The Same Man
who earlier this week took to the floor of the US Senate to defend *'s military service, and who actually compared it favorably to that of John Kerry's?

5. Wow. I double-checked to see if it was for real
and it is. That's nasty, that Sinclair pissed off a Repuke.

Guess he ain't gonna get any (more?) money from them.

8. Amusing note from the statement: "We are aware of one spouse
who didn't want the name read . . .". Wow. One person objected, so they feel justified.

How many families decided to push for the 9/11 commission? And how many of them would be labeled traitors by Sinclair? (hypothetical question).
