Your liberal media at work

Did you know that it's John Kerry's fault that the Vietnam War didn't end sooner? No? Well, that's because you're underpropagandized. Fortunately, the Sinclair Broadcast Group has a plan to fix that.

The conservative-leaning Sinclair Broadcast Group, whose television outlets reach nearly a quarter of the nation's homes with TV, is ordering its stations to preempt regular programming just days before the Nov. 2 election to air a film that attacks Sen. John F. Kerry's activism against the Vietnam War, network and station executives familiar with the plan said Friday.

"Stolen Honor" was made by Carlton Sherwood, a Vietnam veteran and former reporter for the conservative Washington Times who is also the author of a book about the Rev. Sun Myung Moon. On the website for the film, he tells viewers, "Intended or not, Lt. Kerry painted a depraved portrait of Vietnam veterans, literally creating the images of those who served in combat as deranged drug-addicted psychopaths, baby killers" that endured for 30 years in the popular culture.

Wait -- this means that John Kerry is also responsible for Oliver Stone!

Visit dailykos.com and talkingpointsmemo.com to find out what you can do to stop the broadcast. If you live in one of the Sinclair's markets you can contact the station's sales manager and tell him that your next phone calls will be to the station's advertisers. Be specific with which advertisers you are going to call. Many more details can be found at these two sites.
