The sins of Sinclair are blessed by The Son

This is serious stuff. Sinclair Broadcasting, a publicly-owned conglomerate, is forcing its local subsidiaries to show anti-Kerry propaganda the night before the election. The company has gotten an admonishment from the FCC, yet it looks poised to proceed. The situation is this: public broadcasting has an obligation to work in the public interest. (It's because you and I own the public airwaves and the FCC licenses them to advance the public good.) Showing a grossly-misleading movie, Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal, about John Kerry's anti-war activism upon his return from Vietnam, is not in the public interest. Sinclair wants to do it. But there are ways to apply pressure.

Atrios says make some new friends.
The Left Coaster advocates action with advertisers and supporters.

Write a letter. Call your representative. Hold Sinclair Broadcasting responsible as stewards of the public airwaves they are entrusted to use by you for the public good. BTW: We Progressives should feel equally incensed if ABC, for example, were planning to show Fahrenheit 9/11 the night before the election (even though there is no comparison in the research depth or quality of the two films).
