Freeper 'leaks' Sinclair smear piece to Usenet newsgroup
Technically it's not a 'leak' since its already available for sale, but it looks like a Freeper has posted the entire program "Stolen Honor" on the Usenet newsgroup for downloading.

What a GREAT opportunity for anyone with high-speed access and a newsgroup extractor to download the program and have a "pick-apart party" before Sinclair has a chance to air it. This is actually pretty cool, since it gives DUers a chance to know ahead of time what's in the program and be ready to refute it immediately.

FYI, the newsgroup is 'alt.binaries.documentaries' and the file is titled "the documentary the kerry left doesnt want on tv svcd "stolen honor - wounds that never heal". I haven't downloaded it, but from the message header, it looks like a Super VCD which should play in most standard DVD players.

6. But, but................
Sinclair states on it's website that it "hasn't been finished yet". They wouldn't LIE to us now, would they? :eyes:

9. Even an online poll on the official website asks ...
"What is your opinion of Sinclair Broadcasting's intent to air Stolen Honor on all 62 of their television stations, during prime time, October 21 –24?"
