CNN interview VP of Sinclair broadcasting...
Bill Hemmer just had a Veep from Sinclair on and he let him yammer on for a good five minutes, virtually uninterrupted. The biggest challenge Hemmer gave the creep was to ask him, "Can't you see why Democrats would be upset about this?" The man said "no" and that what they were offering was "newsworthy".

Bill never asked him if it might be illegal or any other reason it shouldn't be done. He did ask the guy if the folks over at Sinclair had a bias against Kerry. The Veep tried to spin around it, but Hemmer asked him again. The guy said "No, there certainly shouldn't be an anti-Kerry bias." Bwahahaha!!! That statement alone made him look like the big jerk that he obviously is.

At any rate, this "interview" turned out to be nothing but a free forum for Sinclair to push its agenda. The VP said they had invited Kerry to come on for a few minutes AFTER the airing to have a say in the matter. Whoop-Tee-Doo!

If this thing airs, it will have to go down in history as one of the most anti-democratic events in the history of this country's "free" press.

3. As for the bias question, the Sinclair guy said, "I hope not" and...
"There shouldn't be."

Legalese for "You can't sue me because I didn't answer either "Yes" or "No."

Total sleaze bucket!

4. Yep, you're right...
that is what he said. This bunch is beneath slime. And now newguy says there is a story about them charging more for Kerry advertising and giving a discount on Bush ads.

Nope, no anti-Karry bias whatsoever. I hope they get nailed for the add charges disparity. Woo Hoo, that would be just grand!
