Sinclair says will not air Kerry show in entirety

Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc. under widening scrutiny over plans to air a documentary about Sen. John Kerry’s wartime activities 30 years ago, said on Tuesday it would not show the program in its entirety.

Golly, wasn’t it just last week they boasted they’d never back down?

Here’s why:

Shares of the controversial Sinclair Broadcasting Group slipped almost 8 percent Monday in the aftermath of the political firestorm that the company created last week.

The shares dropped amid fresh concerns on Wall Street, with analysts fretting over what looms as a loss of advertising revenue for Sinclair.

The wingers were all proud of themselves for getting Dan Rather to apologize over some memos that didn’t detract from the 60 Minutes story in any way. The self-important fools refer to the event as “memo-gate”. But they can have their little victory.

I’d rather help take down an entire media empire.

Let’s keep the pressure on and kick these bastards in the teeth. They richly deserve it and, of course, were trying to do the same to the Left.

NYT/CBS Poll has the presidential race as a tie. Most other polls show the same. This indicates a Kerry victory. Why?
 
Bush’s ratings are dismal. Indeed this poll says “Mr. Bush’s job approval rating is at 44 percent, a dangerously low number for an incumbent president, and one of the lowest of his tenure.”

Plus, these are likely voter polls and do not include the large numbers of new voters and voters who don’t normally vote but are this time. By all accounts they arre tilting towards Kerry.

Here’s the kicker

Analysts watch the incumbent’s numbers in the polls so closely because most voters who stay undecided until the very end of a presidential campaign traditionally break for the challenger. As a result, challengers often run ahead of their final poll results, while incumbents rarely exceed their last poll numbers.

In other words, if polls show the race as a tie, given the above, Kerry will win.

Of course, regardless of the winner, the election will be contested, with Armageddon-like court battles and vicious, maybe unprecedented, partisan warfare. But you knew that already, right?
