Sinclair Broadcast Group yesterday lashed out at critics of a planned program featuring the complaints of former POWs about Sen. John Kerry's Vietnam-era anti-war activities, as its stock price continued to fall, shareholders threatened to sue and Democratic supporters offered to buy time for a pro-Kerry film.

The politically conservative Maryland company, which controls 62 stations, said in a statement that it would not air a controversial documentary about the POWs' complaints in full, but that it would air an hour-long program Friday on 40 stations featuring the POWs. Sinclair said it never intended to air the documentary in its entirety.

1. Make No Mistake

Sinclair stock price fell because investors sold shares, and analysts downrated shares. Plenty of those investors and analysts are themselves Bush supporters -- they just put money over politics - when it came to their own wallet.

We need to keep contacting the sponsors , the affiliates, the investors and Sinclair.

8. Playing the victim - the execs have suffered "vile personal attacks"

because of their need to air a vile personal attack on Kerry.

<snip>

"The experience of preparing to air this news special has been trying for many of those involved," the Baltimore, Maryland-based broadcaster said. "The company and many of its executives have endured personal attacks of the vilest nature, as well as calls on our advertisers and our viewers to boycott our stations and on our shareholders to sell their stock."
