[Redefeatbush04]

Quoted from Sinclair by Time Magazine:

"Clearly, John Kerry has made his Vietnam service the foundation of his presidential run. This is an issue that is certainly topical."

(on why company plans to air on it 62 stations a documentary attacking Kerry's antiwar activities of 30 years ago. Sinclair argues that the documentary is news coverage, which is exempt from federal equal-time rules)


"We do not believe such political statements should be disguised as news content."

(on why it refused to air a special edition of ABC's Nightline that consisted of reading the names and showing pictures of each of the 523 US soldiers who had died in Iraq at the time)
