Not even that, but journalism is based on reporting facts to the general public. This has nothing to do with that. It just goes to show you how screwed up the media is these days. The Sinclair Group is doing this to sway the non decided voter's vote towards Dubya. Even if they did show an anti-Bush special, it still wouldn't be any better because of the content and purpose of the show.
Just as people had a choice to view 9/11, people have a choice to view this little documentary. No one is forcing it down their throats, point and click. Channels changed.

*rubs chin* Fahrenheit 9/11....on cable...for all the world to see... if you edit out the more gruesome details I think you could probably request that it be shown somewhere. Hell, Id call Moore personally (talk to my uncle who knows f*cking everyone) and tell him to get that sh*t on cable but the likelihood is very low because of the general eye over the cable industry isnt a democratic one.

That isn't even the argument. The arguement is about Sinclair misusing the airwaves to promote a presidential encumbant. Movie theatres are in no way affiliated with the FCC (Federal Communications Commission), so there's no arguement there. Sure enough, it would go against the First Amendment, but using the airwaves as a tool to promote someone whom you lean against is immoral and whomever is behind this tomfoolery should be banned from using the airwaves that they've misused. For all who didn't know, Michael Powell is the chief of the FCC. He's also Colin Powell's son. Guess who Colin works for?
It doesn't matter if the shoe was on the other foot either (another broadcasting company airing an anti-Kerry "documentary"). Conservative or Liberal, misusing the airwaves is totally immoral.
