Sinclair does it again.

Remember how a while back, a bunch of TV stations were ordered not to show a Nightline show because it gave the names and pictures of the soldiers killed in the war? Well, the Sinclair Broadcast Group, the same people, are at it again. They want to show an anti-Kerry movie in prime time sans commercials. There's already a media watchdog group trying to block this move, as it goes against the Federal regulation of equal time for candidates. But seriously, how is this anything short of propaganda, or fascism? You can't do stuff like this. I'm baffled. This better not happen, unless Sinclair is forced to also show Farenheit 9/11 on all of its stations, sans commercials. Whether you're a Kerry person or a Bush person, you can't argue that this is right in any way, shape, or form.
