When the rules don't matter, we all lose out

A question for supporters of George W. Bush.

Have you heard that CBS is planning to air Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 next week? And that, in order to get around equal time guidelines, they're going to classify it as news programming?

Does that hack you off? Good. Hold that thought.

The fact is, you haven't heard that news because it's not happening. But something similar is. It involves the Sinclair Broadcasting Group. That Maryland-based company, a major donor to the Republican Party, owns, programs or operates 62 television stations in 39 U.S. markets. It's ordered those stations to air a film next week that's reported to be harshly critical of John Kerry's activities as an antiwar protester in the early 1970s. Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal, is said to portray Kerry as, in essence, a traitor. Filmmaker Carlton Sherwood gives voice to former prisoners of war who claim Kerry's protests gave aid and comfort to their Vietnamese captors.

SNIP

Good points all.

That just would be right and all, Michael Moor is not a nice guy. His story is not true.
