It started right off the bat in a pro Kerry slant. Everything was how wonderful, serious and dedicated a student and sailor JK was. I'm still amazed that this guy had film footage (yes FILM FOOTAGE) of himself back from college (early 60's) and then film footage of himself in Vietnam. How many people do you know have film of themselves who were in college in the early 60's or who are Vietnam vets with film of themselves in theater????? The commercial had no conservative commentators included in the 2 hours. They interview Ann Richards (who we all know is going to give an unbiased evaluation of GW) talking about how venal and mean-spirited (oh yes that great Democrat line) the Bush campaign used against her. Of course, Ann would NEVER stoop to dirty politics. Uhuh....right. Most of the script on John Kerry was taken I think word for word from his book because John Kerry is just an altruistic patriotic American. Funny enough, it didn't include his testimony indicting himself or include his meeting with the North Vietnamese in Paris while he was still in the Navy. It didn't include his statement that he "voted for the military supplemental funding" before he voted against it. They did include the fact that he voted against the 1991 Gulf War but put a positive spin on because John Kerry is just too thoughtful of a person. They even included an interview with Barnes from TX who said he was ASKED to help GW get into the TX Air Guard which has been disproved and shown that Barnes was not in a position of authority to enable a request of this sort. Another words Barnes has been shown to be a liar with even his daughter stating he was lying. The level of bias and deceit with this presentation has pushed me to the point of starting my own CRUSADE or JIHAD against PBS. I think I'm going to have to start a letter and telephone campaign to Republican members to shut down ANY public funding of PBS or MPR. I'm sick of these spoilt, sanctimonious media people who think they are better than any Conservative who are stealing - yes stealing my money for their own propaganda purposes. Whew - I feel better now! .........Nope - I'm still really pissed off. |||109767225592321501|||PBS Frontline: Pro-Kerry! I'm SHOCKED, absolutely SHOCKED!
