I don’t know how to read this press release from Sinclair that just hit the wire:
Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc. (SBGI.O: Quote, Profile, Research) , under widening scrutiny over plans to air a documentary about Sen. John Kerry’s wartime activities 30 years ago, said on Tuesday it would not show the program in its entirety.
The key phrase there is ‘in its entirety’ of course. Thinly veiled smear campaigns have no place on network TV so close to an election, regardless of how much is shown, but it looks like Sinclair is finally feeling the heat after a week of outcry. Hopefully they just pull the whole thing and get out of the ‘content business’ alltogether.
I live in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Milwaukee, WI with my wife Jen, our daughter Emerson, and son Carter.
