Democrats are in a snit over a conservative-leaning broadcast group's plan to air a documentary critical of John Kerry just before the election....
[The DNC] filed a complaint with the [FEC], arguing that Sinclair is violating the McCain-Feingold campaign-finance law by giving a valuable "in-kind" contribution to the Bush campaign.
