Cliff Kincaid (Accuracy in the Media) claims that a Kerry campaign spokesman warned
that "they'd better hope that we don't win." It's interesting to note that most
every reference to this quote comes from right-wing nutjob websites, who obviously
feel that free speech includes the right to use irresponsible, biased and sometimes
slanderous speech, and that Sinclair, in the execution of its First Amendment right,
can violate federal election law by promoting a candidate on their stations.
I have to ask, but if the show has Viet vets that were in the Hanoi Hilton
talking about what happened after Kerry's testimony, and then Kerry
testifying... how can that be irresponsible? Biased? Yep.
However, if ABC and the rest of the "established" media decided to dig up
someone to do the same thing about Bush's Air National Guard training, would
you feel that is out of line? I suspect not.
After the nice ABC memo indicating that the on-air crew should harp on Bush
errors, and promote Kerry, I can't see how you can consider them unbiased.
