EMAIL THE MEDIA ABOUT NIGHTLINE SHOW!!! O'Niel getting a pass???
I can't believe the media is largely ignoring last nights show.

It cuts to the heart of all this swiftboatbullshit and the Sinclair "news" event. It exposed John O'Niel for the lying partisan shill that he is.

Email all the major networks.

Politely ask them why the exposure of John O'Niel by Ted Koppel is not being covered.

1. I agree, do you have a link to the original story?
We need to find relevant snips from the abc article, and highlight them in emails to the media.

Thanks :hi:

2. I saw the show. What exposure was that?
You mean that the swifties concealed the interviews they'd taken of the Vietnamese villagers? I think everyone knew from the beginning that the swifties were only using THEIR version of events.

This revelation was meaningful to me, and should be to all, but not a shocking turn of events to be reported on news shows, I think.

ABC now is to air a program on the same event. Wonder what IT will say?

4. I don't know how you can say that if you saw the show...
Besides exposing O'Niel as a total and complete idiot who comes accross as a weasel when confronted...

- it exposed that there WAS a superior force firing on the swiftboats that day. This is a HUGE point of critisism by the swiftboatliars.

- The fact that *someone* (the scumbag O'Niel never DID answer Ted) went to the villiage 6 months ago asking questions and saying Kerry didn't deserve his medals exposes VOLUMES.
Any rational person would realize those visitors from 6 months ago were with the swiftboatliars....and they would have been told the same testimony about that day that Ted Koppal was....and then went on to tell America that there was no enemy fire that day. That Kerry lied.

5. Oh, okay. I'm so cynical and read so much about O'Neill that I figured
that everyone knew by now (except the undecideds, of course, who don't seem to watch current events at all) that this was a setup and that O'Neill was a lyin' scumbag. O'Neill's own medal papers from the military refers to the "fire" that was going on at the time, as well.

Nightline is on ABC, right? So when ABC says it's going to show the program, I guess it's talking about the Nightline program, and it'll be shown again on ABC affiliates? I hope so.

7. Coz the media has ALWAYS KNOWN that the SBLiars were a pack of LIARS
Most the bigtime talking heads weer THERE when THEY debunked O'Neill and his "Veterans for a Just Peace" gang.

They've ALWAYS known it was a stinking pile of total bullshit.

So they're done with it. Over. Finis. They had their fun.

And O'Neill is being chased back under the rock he was sent running to from national derision 32 years ago. And he knows it.
