Running scared...

Well, it seems Sinclair is caving.

realizing that their foolhardy airing of the biased John Kerry movie was costing them not only sponsors, but also investors, Sinclair Broadcasting has decided to tone things down, and apparently will not be showing the film "Stolen Honor" in its entirety.
instead Sinclair will be airing some sort of political special called "A POW Story: Politics, Pressure and the Media," which will no doubt include clips of the film, and surely some biased rant about the "liberal media", etc etc etc.

it's amazing what some pressure on advertisers, combined with the concerns of nervous investors losing money, can accomplish.

and for those who claim that the movie was to be unbiased, you really don't have to go any further than the film's home page, where a poll asking "What is your opinion of Sinclair Broadcasting's intent to air Stolen Honor on all 62 of their television stations, during prime time, October 21 –24?" offers the following four options:

* The DNC is worried the truth unearthed in Stolen Honor will negatively impact Kerry’s presidential race.
* After the CBS scandal, partisans on both sides of the political spectrum should applaud truthful journalism.
* Forces are at work to keep the public from seeing this moving and powerful account of Kerry’s betrayal.
* Sinclair Broadcasting should air Stolen Honor as intended.

yea, that's unbiased...
