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.
That there's really a backlash growing among other stations.
Sinclair Broadcasting to air Stolen Honor on all 62 of their television stations, during prime time, October 21 –24.
Couldn't agree more. A young man who is articulate, highly intelligent and very quick on his feet. I got the impression that even Brit was impressed. He's not someone I would want to mess with either. To be so young, he had an air of authority about him. I wonder if he's been in the military? He has that bearing.
This may well be legit. Wouldn't surprise me at all (see above analogy to "Unfit for Command"). I simply don't accept Newsmax as legitimate.

Heh heh heh heh heh heh. The guys who made this documentary couldn't have asked for better advertising. Thanks, 'rats! Here's more bullets for shooting yourselves in the foot!
Yep, the Swifties were too swift for Kerry. Way to go Switfies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTTT
BTTT
The RATS are not accustomed to being confronted. That is why the Soviet Union collapsed. The ideology is not designed to be on the defensive.
For years the Soviet Union has always stood as the great bear, ready to strike fear into the oppostion. Once confronted by Reagan, they collapsed like a cheap suitcase.
The RATS are learning a hard lesson and as such are resorting to the Communist playbook. If you cannot win, cheat. If cheating does not do it, then scorched earth.
I predict it will also cause Lurch to plummet enough in the polls that no amount of spin or numbers cooking will be able to hide it.
GREAT NEWS!!!!!
Ok, thanks.
Me too. I still think Karl Rove has a couple of his own.
Although I'll allow as it's silly. But I used to date the nephew of those Sinclair people when I lived in Baltimore.
Back then they had only one station, the local Fox station.
The whole story makes me smile because this was back when Nixon was president. I was the flaming liberal and boyfriend (whose last name was Sinclair) was a conservative of the highest order.
One incident I remember was when I put a bumper sticker on my car "Don't Blame Me, I Didn't Vote for Him". My boyfriend RIPPED it off in anger.
Yes I did, I voted for McGovern....you don't think I'm proud of that fact do you?
But let me tell you, if the nephew is any indicator of the Uncles, they are really, really, really staunch conservatives.
This guy Hyman was on Fox & Friends this morning and said basically the same stuff.
BTTT!!!!!!!
Anybody got a list of those non-Sinclair affliates to throw some friendly FReepmail at? If they get enough viewers clamoring to see the film, they'll all want to run it for the ratings and ad revenue alone.
