Right Wing Sinclair to Broadcast Anti-Kerry Documentary

62 TV stations owned by the conservative-leaning Sinclair Broadcast Group, whose television outlets reach nearly a quarter of the nation's homes with TV, is ordering its stations to preempt regular programming just days before the Nov. 2 election to air a film that attacks Sen. John F. Kerry. Channels were not given an option as to showing the program. Sinclair is the same broadcasting group that refused to carry ABC's Nightline program naming the soldiers who had honorably fallen in Iraq and Afghanistan because is shone a negative light on the Iraq war.
Email Sinclair Broadcasting group and the local Affiliates and urge them not to broadcast the anti-Kerry attack film Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal between now and the Nov. 2 presidential election.

SHAME ON THE SINCLAIR GROUP. ALSO, A PLAGUE ON THE LOCAL ADVERTISERS IN COLUMBUS OHIO IF THEY DO NOT WITHDRAW THEIR ADVERTISING DOLLARS FROM THE LOCAL AFFILIATE. HOW CAN THE NEWSPEOPLE ETHICALLY CONTINUE TO WORK FOR THE AFFILIATE. MARK HYMAN IS A NIGHTLY-LATE NEWS-COMMENTATOR AS RABID AS RUSH LIMBAUGH. HE WAS NEVER IDENTIFIED AS A VICE PRESIDENT OF THE SINCLAIR GROUP WHICH WAS HIGHLY DECEITIFUL.
