New York, NY, Oct. 9 (UPI) -- A conservative U.S. broadcaster whose outlets reach one-quarter of the nation's TV viewers is airing a film that attacks John Kerry just before the election.
Sinclair Broadcast Group has ordered its 62 stations to preempt regular programming during primetime to air "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal," the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.
The film, funded by Pennsylvania veterans and produced by a veteran and former Washington Times reporter, features former POWs accusing Kerry -- a decorated U.S. Navy veteran who later protested the war -- of worsening their ordeal by prolonging the conflict.
The one-hour special, which will be aired between Oct. 21 and Oct. 24 depending on the city, will be followed by a panel discussion to which Kerry will be invited, potentially satisfying fairness regulations, the Times reported.

I have mixed feelings about this. I don't want the same thing being done with Moore's flick, so why should it be done with this one? I support why it is being done, just don't know if it is such a good idea or not.

OK. Which stations are owned by Sinclair? Anything we've ever heard of? Are we going to get this on cable?
I don't know. What stations does Sinclair own?
What network????
A career founded on a media event...
...founders on a media event.
Karma will be served ... cold.
The difference is: THIS IS THE TRUTH.
Moore's film consists of nothing but LIES.
It is not as though this stuff was a hidden secret that was only uncovered by Republican muck-raking.
Great! 'Bout time someone with that kind of power stands up to Michael Moore and his attempts to effect this election. I hope the ratings go through the roof the night before the election as the rest of the country that doesn't know the truth about Kerry is laid out before their eyes.
It doesn't matter. You know that and I know that, but if you don't know better, both movies are the same.
Preliminary information, continuing search...
"Sinclair Broadcast Group, an owner of 62 television stations (including Baltimore's Fox 45) in 39 markets around the country..."
I don't like it either. Unless the time was purchased and Sinclair is (unlike others) requiring that it be broadcast.
