Stolen Honor: Sinclair Under Fire

worm eater writes "The Sinclair Broadcasting Group, in its latest politically charged move, has announced that it will air a 90-minute anti-Kerry documentary a week before the election. The video, 'Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal,' was funded by a group of Pennsylvania POWs that has merged with the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. Sinclair, which is the largest TV broadcasting group in the nation, has 62 affiliates, many in swing states. It made news in April by refusing to let any of its affiliates air an edition of Nightline in which Ted Koppel read the names of US soldiers who had died in Iraq, saying the broadcast was politically motivated. Predictably, liberal blogs are fighting back."

The only reason F9/11 isn't on the airwaves is that MM thinks he's got a shot at an oscar and doesn't want to disqualify himself.

If he really thought the message needed to get out he would give up the oscar. There is your hypocrisy.

I see this no different than F911. Posters have said it's different because it's not in theatres and people aren't buying tickets for it. OK, then have the same company and theatres that distributed/played F911 show this film - and charge the same price.

Otherwise, the liberals got their shots in w/F911, they shouldn't bitch when people shoot back.
