Below is what I posted on
FreeRepublic Forum

Sinclair's "A POW Story", was suppose to feature anti-Kerry documentary “Stolen Honor”, instead a hacked up review of the role Vietnam and media are playing in the 2004 election was served up. WE WERE DUPED! . Based on numerous news stories, media hype, I was anxious to watch a documentary, asking the public to consider hard questions about Kerry’s betrayal of his country and other Vietnam Vets. Sinclair had my attention, but pulled the old “bait and switch” routine. Only short excerpts were shown from “Stolen Honor”, instead a format similar to “cross-fire”, with 1 or 2 people from each side of the argument giving their views. My wife and I honestly felt that this was more like a campaign ad for Kerry, similar to covert biased news stories on ABC News and CBS news that appear unbiased but clearly put Kerry as the hero. Sinclair called this “News Central”. News Central appeared more like a mickey mouse attempt to look and sound like a prime time news show, yet came off so pathetically amateurish, whatever the message, it was now a mere joke.

As a Vietnam Vet, I really wanted the message of “Stolen Honor” to be presented, and I was rooting for Sinclair Broadcasting for being willing to show the documentary in spite of intense pressure to not air “Stolen Honor’. My view is that Sinclair wasted my time, other news shows have presented clearer and certainly more professional editorials on the influence of Vietnam and the media in the 2004 election. Worse than a waste of time, Sinclair’s failure to deliver the show expected, makes Sinclair simply another carpetbagger network that can’t be trusted.
