"Will you be showing Stolen Honor"
A lady calls me on the phone and wants to speak to the program director. I asked her what it was about so here goes:

She: Did you know Stolen Honor is available to the media to air?
Me: Well, we're not going to show it here. We're not with Sinclair Broadcasting.
She: Why, do you just show pro Democrat ads? It's free to the media.
Me: No mamn, we don't show anything like that. And we already have our programs set up to run tonight.
She: (getting huffy now) Then let me speak to the News Director.
Me: He's out of town (he is, but I would've said it anyway)
She: Someone should show it!
Me: Not us, thank you for calling. Good-bye
She: Goodbye...wait.. bla, bla..CLICK

It felt good!

1. What desperate idiots!

They get clips of it shown in 24% of the market and they want more? No company that enjoys making money is going to want to suffer the wrath of the Democrats by showing that POS.

My local Sinclair station (WGME) did a live piece during their evening newscast that showed all of the protesters grouped outside of their studio with signs. It was great. The local NBC affiliate picked up on it as well.

4. SINclair's Dirty Deed
I still can't believe the FCC claims that since the broadcasting of something like this is "unprecedented", that they can't make any determinations on it until after it's been aired.

I have a feeling that SINclair has no abosolutely no idea how hard they'll be hit with lawsuits, etc. once their dirty act has been performed.

In any event... does anyone know when SINclair airs what will ultimately be the demise of their media empire as they know it?

I heard Friday, then I heard Tuesday, then I heard no one really knew.

Is there a set date yet?
