	Sinclair: A Troubling Precedent \| Pennywit.Com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Despite Sinclair's claim that this documentary is a news event, airing it borders on, if not crosses, the line described by 47 U.S.C. (aka Section 315), which requires that television outlets provide equal time and opportunity to candidates for office outside of bona fide news coverage or events.
		Sinclair offers Kerry response so they and those who cheer their actions can say: "Well, they offered the Kerry camp a chance to respond." This is typical political hypocrisy; they know any response won't negate the power of a professionally shot film that took $$ to film and hours to carefully put together.
		The Sinclair action is playing in the gray areas; the time isn't being ceded directly to Bush, but there's some question about whether this is essentially an anti-Kerry campaign infomercial or a news event.
