Election History 2004 - 10/11/04 - Sinclair Broadcasting Orders Stations To Air Anti-Kerry Film

[Median Democrat]

This is just a reminder that the liberal media claims of the GOP are not only false, but Big Media will not allow a Democrat to win. Its not just Obama. Its not just Kerry. It would not be different if it were Hillary. Expect Big Media to make announcements in the next two months designed to tilt the election in favor of John McCain if McCain is not clearly ahead by October. There is no need to steal an election, if you can control what the electorate thinks.

Sinclair Broadcast Group, owner of the largest group of television stations in the nation, plans to air a documentary that accuses Sen. John Kerry of betraying American prisoners during the Vietnam War, a newspaper reported Monday.

The reported plan prompted the Democratic National Committee to file a complaint against Sinclair with the Federal Election Commission.

Sinclair has ordered all 62 of its stations to air "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal" without commercials in prime-time next week, the Washington Post reported, just two weeks before the Nov. 2 election.

Sinclair's television group, which includes affiliates of all the major networks, reaches nearly a quarter of all U.S. television households, according to the company's Web site. A dozen of Sinclair's stations are in the critical swing states of Ohio, Florida, Iowa and Wisconsin.

1. Thank you for this reminder

that it wasn't just the Swift Liars that Kerry was up against, but an entire, national media machine.
