GRA: The 1 o'clock news show with Morgan Radford aired a five-minute report, with four minutes of the report, gossip as to why two White men were denied the prize money they deserved from a fishing contest--they flunked a polygraph test. The following is the local connecticut write-up and unbiased nbc decided to be VERY biased for four minutes, before showing a polygraph expert, mentioned here at the end of the article, who said the two accused White men should appeal the decision by the organizers.

“(nbc-ct) his catch was a memory he and his buddies would never forget. Tim Vallee had pulled in a 15-18 foot bluefish last august in a fishing tournament.

“the 41-year-old tournament has drawn thousands of anglers into the long island sound on a summer weekend.

“while it’s been months since Tim Vallee caught that bluefish, he and the club members remember it like yesterday.

“they showed nbc ct responds consumer reporter Caitlin Burchill where they were all positioned on the tartan ii when Vallee reeled in the big one.

“'Kevin was fishing to my left. Rick was fishing to my right. Chris was standing over there,' Vallee said.

“he and the members say seven people witnessed him land the fish on his own.

“'it was a big fish,' said Mike Stepski, the captain of the tartan ii.

“it’s a tournament Stepski has participated in for decades.

“we were so excited to finally get a win because we've been, I’ve been doing this tournament since I was a little kid,' Stepski said.

“Vallee’s catch on the tartan ii put him in second place on the leaderboard, but his bragging rights and dreams of a $7,500 prize did not last long.

“it was almost two weeks later when I got a letter that says I was disqualified.

“the tournament rules state 'first, second, and third prize winners are required to take and pass a polygraph test.'

“Vallee failed the test.

“Benny Sheen’s in the same boat.

“the long-islander failed the polygraph too, disqualifying him from winning $25,000 for first place

“the captains of the boats that Vallee and Sheen were on say both men legitimately reeled in their big catches in bounds.

“'we have it on video. the pictures, everything he did. he gets disqualified. I don't know,' said Zac Auer, who was captaining the boat Sheen was on during his catch.

“'I run the boat. I told him the position where we caught the fish. we have everybody in the boat (who) witnessed the catch. for some reason, he failed the lie-detector test, and I don’t even understand how that is possible,' Stepski, Vallee’s captain, said.

“'it’s a well-established tradition to polygraph top potential winners,' Okesson said.

“nbc ct responds reached out to Charles Morgan for his expert opinion on using a polygraph to verify the results of a fishing tournament.

“the university of new haven professor said he does not think it’s a good way to sniff out a cheater.

“iif I were in their shoes, I'd challenge that. I wouldn't accept that,' Morgan said of Vallee and Sheen’s disqualifications.”

GRA:If that report had been given, I'd have no problem, but nbc showed the men's pictures and explained and inferred, by flunking the polygraph, they had cheated and had their prize money revoked. Even if it was remotely true, why air such a thing, except to attempt to make Whitey look like blacks and media are--LIARS. It's the image nbc wants Whites to be portrayed as to its audience--and it's sick.
