aProgressive sez:

Due to Sinclair Broadcasting’s decision to air the anti-Kerry film just prior to the election, www.kerrysupport.com has decided to host the movie, Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry, for people to see and get a better idea of John Kerry’s experience in Vietnam and when he returned from Vietnam. Maybe you could make a post, recommend people watch it, and link people through to the movie here.

Good call aProgressive! I haven’t had a chance to watch it, but all the reviews I’ve read have been good.

I haven’t formed much of an opinion on the Sinclair situation- I’m a little conflicted because media companies can air what they want, even if it’s just a huge pack of lies (as is the buzz on the Sinclair anti-Kerry movie.)

Michael Moore wants to show his movie on broadcast television too. I should say, I have yet to find anyone able to discredit the major claims made in the film. So comparing F9/11 to the Sinclair Anti-Kerry Movie (as I’m now calling it) is not a perfect comparison. None the less- if Moore were a crazed billionaire who owned a bunch of TV stations and enjoys picking up whores in Baltimore, he’d probably use that power to show the movie on all his stations. Then he might go get a blowjob from a prostitute while driving down the Jones Falls Expressway.

I’m saddened, but not surprised that Sinclair would be using the public airwaves to show an already discredited film, but I’m having trouble getting worked up over what amounts to just another round of Rove’s Orwellian tactics. There are times when you just have to trust the American people will realize the truth- hopefully Going Upriver will help facilitate that.
