SINCLAIR'S BAIT & SWITCH! Do not fall for it, it will be even worse.

The Washington Post reports tonight that "Anti-Kerry Film Won't Be Aired."

Under mounting political, legal and financial pressure, Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc. yesterday backed away from its plan to carry a film attacking John F. Kerry's Vietnam War record, saying it would air only portions of the movie in an hour-long special scheduled for Friday.

"The experience of preparing to air this news special has been trying for many of those involved," Sinclair chief executive David D. Smith said in a statement. "The company and many of its executives have endured personal attacks of the vilest nature, as well as calls on our advertisers and our viewers to boycott our stations and on our shareholders to sell their stock."

But reading further, we find:

Sinclair said it will produce "A POW Story: Politics, Pressure and the Media," hosted by Jeff Barnd, an anchor at Sinclair's WBFF in Baltimore, using footage from "Stolen Honor" and other political documentaries while examining allegations of media bias.

They'll get their point across about Kerry by showing clips from the documentary, then talk about how evil liberals stopped them from showing the whole thing. We'll get a lot of hand-wringing about how left-wing extremists and the liberal media are forcing their values on the rest of the country. This will be worse than just showing the whole documentary. We must continue to apply the pressure to Sinclair.
