Complaints against the Sinclair Broadcasting network by John Kerry's presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee may have backfired, with non-Sinclair TV stations now expressing an interest in airing the documentary "Stolen Honor," which chronicles the candidate's role in the anti-Vietnam War movement.
"A few other TV stations around the country have contacted the producer of this documentary as well," Sinclair spokesman Mark Hyman told nationally syndicated radio host G. Gordon Liddy on Tuesday. "So there appears to be some growing interest in making this available to the nation's viewers."
Hyman said that Sinclair's decision to air the documentary was driven in part by a desire to pick up the slack from other broadcast networks, which have increasingly shunned news coverage in favor of entertainment programming. Referring the 13 Vietnam-era POWs who appear in "Stolen Honor" criticizing Kerry for protesting the war alongside the likes of anti-American actress Jane Fonda, Hyman told Liddy, "If anybody has earned the right to be heard on the subject of Vietnam, it's these men, who suffered such horrific abuse and unspeakable torture."
"For 31 years John Kerry has run away from that," he added.
Hyman said that while the exact format for the broadcast has yet to be determined, Sinclair has invited Kerry to give his side of the story after the broadcast.
Note to self........call broker, dump FOX and load up on Sinclar.

I think you just missed seeing post #83 - Why not just buy it or watch it online at the website?

Those of you who don't have a Sinclair station in your market should call whichever of your local TV stations you think might be responsive, and ask politely that they broadcast "Stolen Valor" before Nov. 2. Who knows? They might do it!
I hope this is AN October Surprise.
All in all, we may be witnessing The October Epiphany
Get out the vote ~ Bump!
It wasn't FNC where I saw him. One of the other cables and the first question out of the host was something about bias.......that's when I turned the TV OFF!!!

By all means show it. To hell with what Lurch thinks. He and his gang has had their way WAAAAAAAAY too long. In the interest of being fair and balanced, show the other side of Lurch. I just wish I could see it when aired. I have a c-band sattelite dish and was wondering if anyone knows what sattelite and transponder Sinclair is likely to use. It would be a wild feed, but some outlets use the same "bird"(s). Thanks in advance with any help.

Where does one verify that they do?

Ok...for all Nashvillians and Middle Tennesseans
FOX 17 announced last night that "Stolen Honor" will be shown on October 22nd, 8 pm on Channel 17 (WZTV - FOX 17 Nashville) and Channel 30 (WUXP - UPN 30 Nashville)...
Me, too. I think the closest stations are B'ham and Nashville.
Where can I go to find out if Sinclair Broadcasting is in my area? I would like to be able to see this documentary.
You would THINK someone as "cerebral" as Kerrywards would realize the best way to generate public interest in something is to try to censor it. Then again, stuff like this is why I characterize Kerry as being a few million brain cells short of a functional cortex.
Alright, when is this playing? I can't wait to see.
