--- Begin Message ----Caveat Lector- If this is going to be against Federal law, why can't there be an injunction issued by a Federal court against it? The Kerry campaign is truly asleep if they don't jump on this one. If the US Government can suppress the latest Civil Rights Commission report (or, more accurately, public discussions thereof) on the grounds that it might unfairly affect the US Presidential election, then they can sure as hell stop this injustice too!-- John Wilmerding _ _ _ On Wednesday, October 13, 2004, CERJer Lena Smolon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Sinclair Broadcast Group, owner of the largest chain of television stations in the nation, plans to air a documentary that accuses John Kerry of betraying American prisoners during the Vietnam War, the Washington Post reported Monday. By airing this documentary so close to the presidential election, Sinclair is trying to manipulate the outcome of the election because of the broadcaster's documented ties to the current administration. Sinclair is the same group that refused to air the Nightline Memorial Day tribute to the soldiers killed in Iraq, because they considered it a political statement. The network has ordered all 62 of its stations to air "Stolen Honor, Wounds that Never Heal" next week during prime time. Sinclair's 62 stations are in 39 television markets and reach approximately 24 percent of all television households in the United States. The stations include 20 Fox, 19 WB, 6 UPN, 8 ABC, 3 CBS, 4 NBC, and 2 independents. Sinclair's plan to air anti-Kerry propaganda before the election is an abuse of the public airwaves for what appears to be partisan political purposes. It is also likely a violation of broadcast regulations requiring equal time for political candidates as well as the McCain-Feingold campaign finance laws. Now is the time for us to join our voices together to object to this injustice. There are five main actions you can take to protest this abuse of the public airwaves. The cumulative effect of each and every act will make a bold statement that the American public is not going to tolerate this flagrant abuse for partisan political purpose. So even if you only have time for one email or phone contact, please do it and make your voice heard in this effort. Every action taken -- no matter how small -- will help. I.
