Where's that LIBERAL MEDIA when I need it?

NEW YORK — The conservative-leaning Sinclair Broadcast Group, whose television outlets reach nearly a quarter of the nation's homes with TV, is ordering its stations to preempt regular programming just days before the Nov. 2 election to air a film that attacks Sen. John F. Kerry's activism against the Vietnam War, network and station executives familiarwith the plan said Friday.

Sinclair's programming plan, communicated to executives in recent days and coming in the thick of a close and intense presidential race, is highly unusual even in a political season that has been marked by media controversies.

Has the media just ignored this? i've seen nothing on the TV news networks.

Over at the Talkingpoints website we find that the guy who created this film worked for the Bush Administration's Homeland Security media operation. so just how far can the president go to control this sort of 'news' for his campaign and still get away with it? Moverover, who thinks that mass ownership of the media by a handful of people really has no effect on what we get to see and hear?
