Conservative Network to air Anti-Kerry Film just before election

I go away canvassing in Ohio for a weekend and look what happens:

LA Times article here.

Petition is here:
http://www.stopsinclair.org/
(only been up a few days and over 13,000 have signed)

"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"

"Sinclair has told its stations — many of them in political swing states such as Ohio and Florida — to air "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal," sources said."

This film was created by, guess who?

Swift Vets and POWs For Truth. The new and expanded Swift Vets for "Truth". This GOP partisan organization is DIRECTLY TIED TO THE BUSH campaign. And every claim they have made to date has been proven as a lie. Every claim. Proven as a lie - either by non-partisan FactCheck.org or the US NAVY itself.

(By the way, Sinclair was last in the news when they refused to honor the (then) 700+ killed US soldiers in Iraq by pre-empting a Nightline show listing all of our fallen men and women. Nice guys.)
