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.
He also boasts that he's PROUD of what he did when he got home. What's he hiding from???!!!
I saw the map. Don't get mad at me if there is no sway in public opinion after the movie airs.

OLLIE NORTH - War Stories - Fox News Channel
Me too. I put out $22.98 for the DVD.
Bump. Any station that has the brass to show this documentary will win over some very loyal viewers.
I want a Sinclair station!
Oh well, I love that it is going to be shown! Sinclair broadcasting is incredibly brave and I thank them.
I also thank the Dems for emulating their communist friends again so that this would become a larger event. hehe
Would be if anyone but "the choir" heard about it...
Man did your post ever cause a strong deja-vu. I'm not even sure why. It was a recent dream (three or four months ago); it wasn't fun, and involved someone (important) dying, but I'm not sure who.
It feels like my little voice is clearing its throat, however.
I agree. He made his point with a few well chosen words, in a short enough message that he was done before anyone could tune him out.
I would let him give it. And I would have him give it in front of the Swift Vets and POWs.
Kerry needs a 12-step plan.
As a 1 - 2 punch, the New York Sun article questioning the "honorable discharge" of Kerry should start getting legs. I want to read it on Drudge and see the lame stream HAVE to pick that story up!
Thanks for the ping!
