Sinclair Says Will Not Air Kerry Show in Entirety
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc., under widening scrutiny over plans to air a documentary about Sen. John Kerry's wartime activities 30 years ago, said on Tuesday it would not show the program in its entirety.

"Contrary to numerous inaccurate political and press accounts, the Sinclair stations will not be airing the documentary 'Stolen Honor' in its entirety," the Baltimore-based company said in a statement.

Sinclair said it would air a special news program on Friday called "A POW Story: Politics, Pressure and the Media" that would discuss the allegations surrounding Kerry's anti-Vietnam War activities.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!

1. I think they have bigger problems now

than a silly anti-Kerry movie.. Like bankruptcy and prison.

2. this is so they don't have to show 'going upriver' in its entirety

now they can show pieces of rw films and call it a 'news program' about documentaries and deny equal time provisions in the process

3. What they are doing to trying to weasel their way out of a bad place.

Don't trust them to keep their word.

4. They're taking a much bigger shit bath on this than they ever

anticipated having to do. :evilgrin:

5. It is just SPIN - they are still abusing the airwaves, just playing the

victim of "Politics and Pressure and the Media."

6. This is just a smokescreen!!

I call Bullshit. Keep up the letters!!

7. then they will be investigating their own participation in bias

reporting and show facts from nightlines special on eye witness accounts and military documents that contradict this silly ass movie

8. This is 100x worse then showing the whole thing

I think this is 100x worse then showing the whole thing. If they create a bogus news program around this "movie", people will believe it more. The average person still trust their News to be fair, they don't see the self censorship and partisanship with cable news or even with their local news. Having it in a news format is much more inflammatory, IMHO.
