3. No surprise, I guess, given who Michael Powell is.

Let's just hope this backfires on Sinclair and the rightwingnuts BIG TIME!

And welcome to DU!

DEFEAT BUSH!!

4. Powel is only outraged by the sight of a breast or a dirty word from Stern

6. what a jackass

aparently the word "shit" and a bare breat flashed for one second are more worrisome than the U.S. media outlets turning into Pravda.

5. Thanks for the news.

We need to slam him with calls and e-mails again.

Also, has it been established that Sinclair can legally force it's affiliates to show this "documentary" without violating some election or broadcasting law?

8. It's pointless to try to get Powell and the FCC to do anything,

especially after the little asshole took such a decisive ass-kicking last night. They know it's their last chance to try to turn the tide that will put them out of office, and they'll resort to anything to keep in power. The ONLY thing Sinclair understands is money, and every effort to boycott any product advertised on any Sinclair station at ANY TIME, not just sponsors for the show in question, is what is needed. Advertisers, both local and national, need to be told that they will suffer the backlash of this action, and maybe they can put the pressure on Sinclair that Powell is unwilling to.
