The Media Gone Wild

Sinclair Broadcasting has determined that they will air a controversial anti-Kerry film that takes issue with his protesting the Vietnam war after he returned as a decorated hero. Forcing some stations to pre-empt regularly scheduled prime time shows, Sinclair says they are putting together a "news event" and have invited Kerry to appear as a guest. This film has already been widely criticized as partisan, taking words very far out of context, and a distortion of the facts. Likewise, 60 Minutes which has been working for months on a piece about the intelligence that lead us into war in Iraq, has chosen NOT to air their piece before the election because they do not want to be percieved as promoting a partisan agenda.
