Solen Honor (2004)
Anyone know anything about this movie? Looks like the dems are trying to burry it. I'd like to see it but it wont be airing in my city.

how are they trying to bury it? sounds more the republicans pretty much own the media with the sinclair group. if ya wanna talk about burying, how about disney trying to can moore's film to keep on the republican's good side? how about the irony that sinclair refused to broadcast names of the diseased in iraq to "avoid making a political statement"?
sharerepublicans do not own the media.
thats the dumbest most unimformed thing i have ever heard anyone day on a message board (including the time someone called gili the best film of the year... no its worse than that). anyone with a set of eyes and ears knows that the entertainment industry is 75% liberal. sinclair may have most of the affiliate stations but they have no control over the film industry, music industry, cable news, tv show comentators comentators on the today show, the view, regis philben, good day live, hell even snl and robert smiegel take their unfare share of shots and opinion boistering. if you were on the other side of the argument you would notice all of the liberal bush bashing on every station but fox news. i will be the first to admit that fox is the most biast of them all, but its 1 vs. 100 so they have their work cut out for them. it would be nice if all of the news could be unbiased but hell even mother theresa had an agenda.
KubricksSon is right. The media is generally liberal, save the Fox network. Whoever told you that the media is republican is plain wrong. Check your facts, dude, before posting such a stupid comment.
shareKS, you're the one who's uninformed.
CBS (Viacom) and CNN (Time Warner), sure, call them liberal. That's two, as in "a broken clock is right twice a day".
NBC owner General Electric (maker of light bulbs & military equipment, major Bush donor) is not liberal.
ABC owner Disney (home base of Rush Limbaugh & the 700 Club) is not liberal.
FOX owner News Corp ... yeah right.
Clear Channel (owner of a gazillion radio stations, plus 37 TV stations) is conservative (donates 3 to 1 Rep vs Dem).
Tribune Publishing (owner of a gazillion newspapers, plus 26 TV stations) is entirely conservative (donates 30 to 1 Rep vs Dem).
Who owns the media? Mostly Republicans.
Disney isn't liberal??? You're joking, right???
I'm a past holder of Disney stock and every year the Board of Directors was a who's who of liberals. Ever hear of Senator George Mitchell, former Senate Majority Leader for the Democratic Party?? He is the Chairman of Disney's Board of Directors.
Or how about Monica Lozano, La Opinion's (a large proudly liberal Spanish speaking paper) Publisher?
Robert Iger gave $4,000 to Congressman Ed Markey (D) (who will run for Kerry's Senate spot if he wins).
Also, I worked with a number of people that were with CNN at the beginning, and had worked with CBS, and ABC. They were all very proud liberals, personal friends of the Kennedy's and never denied the numbers that have shown that over 75% of employees for the big three (ABC, CBS and NBC) are registered Democrats. They were actually proud of that.
Right now, Fox is after money. If there was a gap in the other direction, they'd be all liberal all the time. Look at the rest of their programing, they're using shock to get certain demographics. That's all.
ok i concede. saying republicans own the media was an uninformed and poor choice of words. my intended sentiment was that upon visiting the sinclair website i saw their affiliate list of NBC, FOX, ABC, CBS, WB and UPN, giving me the impression that i'd be turning on my tv and seeing a heck of a lot of stolen honour. anyway, free speech is free speech, and it looks like bush has already won, so it really is a moot point. cheers.
