Nitpicking The Cincinnati Post
When conservatives talk about media bias the point most often to language. Michael Collins is The Post's Washington bureau chief will likely not be considered a conservative by most conservatives but in his column on Ohio Presidential politics he refers to Bush as "The Big Guy" and referred to Kerry continuing "to bash Bush" for a political stance. If Bill Clinton was called "The Big Guy" (not referring to his literal size) and Bob Dole was said to be Clinton bashing, then the conservative MRC would be hopping mad, issuing press releases like a green PR lackey.
WCPO Issues Statement on 'NightLine'
Why did WCPO feel the need to issue a statement about tonight's 'Nightline'? I hope it was just a large number of phone calls on the subject wondering if they are going to air it, and not demand that they do not air it.
This "controversy" is not one. This is political censorship. Sinclair's political motives are clear. They seek to re-elect Bush. They defense here is that 'Nightline' is doing the same thing, which is wrong. So, do what I say not what I do appear to be getting another go around.
I turned on WB64's "news" program at 10PM to see if they covered the "controversy" at all. I watched the beginning, but did not see much beyond that. They have a poll up on their website asking if they should air it, but it has problems working. At this point readers think they should air the program 80% to 20%.

Cheney Praises Fox News Channel
Gee, I wonder why Dick Cheney would praise FOX News? You don't think he thinks it is the best coverage because it gives him good coverage or rather it gives him good PR? Ya Think.....
Should we Boycott Sinclair Stations?
Sinclair Stations to Boycott 'Nightline' Tribute. We do have one local Sinclair station: WB64. Will there news program report this story tonight?
I hope everyone tunes in to WCPO tonight to pay tribute to the fallen soldiers.
Wes Finn has
more.

With Some Attention
Hopefully, no protestors will be arrested for doing what Bush supporters did at Bush's local speech at the Golden Lamb. Rumor is that he will speak from the balcony of the establishment. Wes Flinn said that it was as if we in "Argentina" or something.
Cornholed
At one GOP "parties for the President" we find this tidbit from Korte:
"A party at the Green Township home of Pakkiri 'Raj' Rajagapol was one of the largest, with 150 people turning out for a cookout, corn hole and the chance to listen to Cheney on a speaker phone. "The whole country is being cornholed by the President, so I guess this is just fitting.
