 Media Matters - Letter from David Brock to Sinclair Broadcast Group (10/10/04)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)

The reported effort by Sinclair executives to instruct station managers to classify the film as "news," thus skirting these political broadcasting regulations, would be a charade given its blatant anti-Kerry slant.
Sinclair would be abusing the priviledge we as citizens have granted them.
