ha!ha! "Stolen Honor" airing angers sports fans: in Florida

[robbedvoter]

And as the campaign draws to a close, callers flooded the customer service phone lines at WPLG-Ch. 10 Saturday night after the station aired a half-hour block of Stolen Honor, a documentary attacking Kerry's service in Vietnam and his conduct after he returned from that war. Station Vice President and General Manager Dave Boylan said Newton Media, a Virginia-based company, bought three half-hour blocks to air portions of the documentary before the election.

"We sell time to people looking to get their message to the public," said Boylan.

The documentary interrupted a Michigan vs. Michigan State college football game that was tied, 37-37, and about to go into overtime.

[sundancekid]

10. he should have said they will sell their souls too - karma is comin nov 2

on edit: BTW, Michigan won the game in the 3rd OT with the help of another Edwards (Braylon)keeping Michigan undefeated at 6-0 ... I like the connection, don't you?

we take our M GO BLUE waaaaaaaaaaaaay seriously around here, and a station that chooses to spew propaganda instead of broadcasting the end of a tied and significant college football game is going to get a huge backlash -- its payback time ... let's just make the whole country BLUE!

Hi there, robbedvoter ... we're going to go see Wes Clark this afternoon here in NM. Clarkies are Clarkies -- U WES A!
