Sinclair hurt Bush by making him look corrupt and dishonest. Sinclair also hurt itself and its stockholders and employees. Nobody watched the trash except rightwing jerk-offs.

Sinclair Thanks N.Y. Times - Sinclair Broadcast Group, which has been vilified in many places regarding its decision to air a special one-hour news program entitled "A POW Story: Politics, Pressure and the Media," was gratified to read an article published by the New York Times newspaper on Thursday, Oct. 21, 2004, advocating the broadcast of the documentary, "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal." "Stolen Honor" will be discussed in the Sinclair news special, but it was erroneous news reports indicating that Sinclair intended to broadcast the documentary in its entirety which set off a recent controversy. In an Article entitled "An Outpouring of Pain, Channeled Via Politics," New York Times television reviewer Alessandra Stanley opines that it is "too bad" that Sinclair is not airing the entire documentary. In fact, although Ms. Stanley's review of the film is far from completely positive, she nonetheless expresses the view that "Stolen Honor" should not be shown by Sinclair, but rather "should be shown in its entirety on all the networks, cable stations and on public television." Sinclair is pleased to note that the New York Times, which has generally been very negative about Sinclair's plans in regard to this documentary, employs at least one writer who continues to understand the importance of free speech under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. Further, an editorial in today's Wall Street Journal commented unfavorably on the attempts to influence the press through a variety of pressure tactics. Sinclair's "A POW Story" aired Friday night and included not only interviews with the creator and some of the former POWs featured in the "Stolen Honor" documentary, but also interviews with Richard Klass, president of the Veterans Institute for Security and Democracy, an organization that has filed against Sinclair at the Federal Communications Commission; and Bobby Muller, a Vietnam War veteran who the Kerry campaign recommended Sinclair include in its news special. ************************************************** It's obvious that Conservatives play fair. Conversely, Kerry's supporters have turned into hysterical ranters in the final days of the campaign. The impression Democrats' juvenile tactics make on the few "undecided" voters will contribute to an undeniable victory for Pres Bush on Nov 2.
