Sinclair Broadcasting CEO David Smith embroils himself in controversy by ordering his stations to air Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal— a documentary challenging Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry's Vietnam service — within days of the presidential election?

Sinclair has 62 TV stations — the No. 2 collection after Paxson Communications — including many in such battleground states as Florida, Ohio, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and West Virginia.

The Democratic National Committee will file a complaint with the Federal Election Commission today. DNC lawyer Joe Sandler says Sinclair's plan is an "illegal in-kind contribution" to Bush.

So a private corporation is going to be sued for showing a documentary but Michael Moore's award winning documentary was okay? Dan Rather can lie all day but some former POW's are breaking FEC rules?

I haven't seen the show & can't comment on it.

However, I can comment on the not so veiled threats issued by the left...

Kerry Senior Advisor Chad Clanton to SINCLAIR Broadcasting: 'They better hope we don't win' [said on FOX NEWS DAYSIDE]...

Whoa there Nelly. A Senior Advisor to Democrat Presidential Nominee John Kerry just threatened a media company? Maybe if they win they'll shut off/filter the internet & close talk radio too. Hey, cool, our own gulag. Highly reminiscent of the Soviet Union.

Yep, I'd be proud to be a Democrat these days.
