SINCLAIR TELEVISION CROSSES THE LINE OF FAIRNESS
OK, WE give up. After defending the mainstream news media as basically objective for years, we now have to cry uncle and acknowledge that there really is a bias driving news judgment.
It's time to come clean...and drive all those right-wing ideologues out of the newsrooms. Only then can the publicly owned airwaves be free of the pro-Bush swill that will soon be spewed by the Sinclair Broadcasting Group.
In a stunning act of hypocrisy, the same television network that refused to air a "Nightline" report on soldiers killed in Iraq, has ordered its 62 television stations, including two in Pittsburgh, to show, commercial free, a documentary highly critical of John Kerry and his anti-war stance following his return from Vietnam.
