Well you may remember Sinclair Broadcast Group back when they refused to air a Nightline episode in which Ted Koppel read all the names of the American soldiers who died in Iraq. Now they are ORDERING their 62 television stations to pre-empt their prime time programming to air an anti Kerry "documentary", without commercial interruption in the 10 days leading up to the election. They are calling this a "news event".

Well let me just say, when the uproar about not airing the Nightline episode happened earlier this year Sinclair had this to say:

"...we do not believe such political statements should be disguised as news content."

Well well, now they are airing an overtly political statement and disguising it as news content. Absolutely amazing, how it stinks of hypocrisy, yet they don't seem to even mind. I am personally disgusted, but maybe I am rambling read the story if you want.

Dems seek probes into Sinclair plan to air anti-Kerry film

Well in other news, as I promised, a little about the Michael Moore speech here in Albuquerque.



Well we got there early and got ok seats, but we were able to jump up pretty close after they removed some reserved seating. Michael Moore came out and gave a speech filled with humorous moments. He told us that his next movie will be about HMOs and that Phizer apparently sent out a memo saying to be on the lookout for a fat bearded guy. The memo also had a special number set up to report "sitings" of Moore near Phizer locations. He gave out the number to all of us, and told us to call and have some fun with Phizer.

Then things changed from his normal speech as some Nader supporter started screaming, interrupting the speech. At this point Michael Moore went OFF. He argued with this heckler for some 10 minutes, and you could tell how passionate this man is about his cause. No matter what you think about his politics, he definitely is VERY personally invested in it.

I signed up with MoveonPAC at the Michael Moore speech, and I actually went down to a meeting tonight. I signed up to help in the effort to remove shrub from office. I am looking forward to doing all I can to take back our country!
