By JIM RUTENBERG
Up to 62 television stations owned or managed by the Sinclair Broadcasting Group - many of them in swing states - will show a documentary highly critical of Senator John Kerry's antiwar activities 30 years ago within the next two weeks, Sinclair officials said yesterday.
Those officials said the
documentary would pre-empt regular night programming, including prime time, on its stations, which include affiliates for all six of the major broadcast networks in the
swing states of Florida, Ohio, Wisconsin, Nevada and Pennsylvania.<>Mr. Clanton said Mr.
Kerry's campaign would call on supporters to stage advertiser boycotts and demonstrations against Sinclair's stations.A group of Democratic senators, including
Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts and
Dianne Feinstein of California,
readied a letter calling for the Federal Communications Commission to investigate the move, arguing that the documentary was not news but a prolonged political advertisement from Mr. Bush and, as such, violated fairness rules.______________________
