Censoring Sinclair

Jesse Walker | October 12, 2004

The Democrats, still reputed in some quarters to be the party of permissiveness, have asked the Federal Elections Commission to prevent the Sinclair Broadcast Group, owner of 62 TV stations, from airing a program based on the anti-Kerry documentary Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal. According to the Baltimore Sun, the Dems are also mulling "whether to challenge Sinclair when licenses for its local stations come up before the Federal Communications Commission for renewal."
