STUNNING!!! NY TIMES SAYS "SHOW STOLEN HONOR!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Every single citizen in America should rise up and DEMAND
that the media in America (who exist because WE are AMERICANS)
should show this film in EVERY VENUE IN AMERICA.

Our SOLDIERS earned it.
They DESERVE IT!!
Those talking heads who CLAIM the responsibility of
their jobs/positions IN REPORTING, need to check
their EGOS at the door and let the message speak
FOR ITSELF!!
Please print this out for yourselves, mail it to media,
call and fax to everyone possible.

IT IS NOT TOO LATE!!

Refer to this liberal newspaper as being converted to
the truth of "fair and balanced". (at least for this worthy
cause)

All hands on deck.
Make it a tireless day!
Love to one and all.
Mary Ann Parker

New York Times: Every Network Should Show 'Stolen Honor'

The first sentence of the New York Times' review today of "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal" was what we expected:

It said Sinclair Broadcast Group should not show the documentary.
Then the pro-Kerry daily explained why in a stunning recommendation:
"It should be shown in its entirety on all the networks, cable stations and on public television." This is the same paper that ran such a bizarre, hateful campaign against Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" and trashed "Unfit for Command" while touting Kitty Kelley's anti-Bush gossip?


TV reviewer Alessandra Stanley indicates she doesn't like the fact that "Stolen Honor" will hinder Sen. John Kerry's candidacy, but she nonetheless advises that "it does help viewers better understand the rage fueling the unhappy band of brothers who oppose Mr. Kerry's candidacy and his claim to heroism."
Stanley writes:


This film is payback time, a chance to punish one of the most famous antiwar activists, Mr. Kerry, the one who got credit for serving with distinction in combat, then, through the eyes of the veterans in this film, went home to discredit the men left behind. The film begins with dirgelike music and a scary black-and-white montage of stark images of soldiers and prisoners as a deep voice sorrowfully intones, "In other wars, when captured soldiers were subjected to the hell of enemy prisons, they were considered heroes." The narrator adds, "In Vietnam they were betrayed."

The imagery is crude, but powerful: each mention of Mr. Kerry's early 1970's meeting with North Vietnamese government officials in Paris is illustrated with an old black-and-white still shot of the Arc de Triomphe, an image that to many viewers evokes the Nazi occupation of Paris. ...

The film's producer, Carlton Sherwood, a former investigative reporter and a Vietnam veteran, gives his own testimony, explaining that even though he has uncovered all kinds of misdeeds in his career, the history of Mr. Kerry's antiwar activism is "a lot more personal." He recalls listening to Mr. Kerry's testimony in 1971, saying, "I felt an inner hurt no surgeon's scalpel could remove."

That pain is the main theme of the documentary, which can be seen in its entirety on the Internet for $4.99. One former P.O.W., John Warner, lashes out at Mr. Kerry for having coaxed Mr. Warner's mother to testify at the Winter Soldier Investigation, where disgruntled veterans testified to war crimes they committed. Calling it a "contemptible act," Mr. Warner, who spent more than five years as a prisoner, tells the camera that Mr. Kerry was the kind of man who preyed on a mother's grief "purely for the promotion of your own political agenda."

Hey Guys, why so negative??
This is a huge positive.

THE NEW YORK TIMES SAYS "IT SHOULD BE SHOWN IN ITS
ENTIRETY ON ALL THE NETWORKS, CABLE STATIONS AND ON
PUBLIC TELEVISION"!!!!!!!

We have been handed the leverage to get this film seen! Let's
run with it.

The networks take their marching orders from the NYT.
Their news broadcast every night are taken from whatever the NYT
prints as the news of the day. Every network covers the same topics.
If you switch the channel, there's the same story on the next one.
The NYT sets the agenda.

My point is that the NYT says this film should be seen!!!
On networks, cable and PBS. So we can pressure all the stations
that the public demands it. Even the NYT says so.

Wave the review in their faces, "This film does not do more damage to
Kerry's reputation than have the SwiftBoat Veterans negative ads."
Thank you Swifties!!!!

The review has already had an effect. NBC did a story about it
on the news tonight. Its like the NYT has given the go ahead to
give it some attention.

I really don't see the review as very negative, other than the word "specious".
"This film is payback time". YOU BET!!!!
Vietnam Vets deserve payback!

The few negatives in the review are nothing compared to the
promotion of the film that it gives us! It's way more attention than
has been granted anywhere else!

I bet this TV reviewer Alessandra Stanley had to jump through some hoops to get the editor to publish that story. Maybe she is an ally...

[Mary Ann Parker]

I am so sorry.
I have been a little fast on the trigger lately.
It takes so much time to read them all and then even more
to post a reply or a new one.
Double sorry.
I am a fan of your posts.
Make it a forgiving sort of day.

That's OK, MAP!
I did the same thing yesterday. Never thought to look
in the Stolen Forum, THIS forum is where all the action is.
And this GREAT NEWS needs us to act.
GET EMAILS GOING!!! using this review to pressure Media!

I'm glad you reposted it, to get more attention.

I think the folks at Stolen Honor should hire dmack to do their PR. She would have it shown on every network during prime time, and could lead the op to "borrow" Mikey Moore, tie him to several chairs, packing tape his mouth shut, and make him watch it.

Not that I am advocating violence.
