Sinclair Broadcasting, which caused a stir earlier this year by refursing to broadcast Ted Koppel's Nightline honoring those who died in Iraq, is at it again. Sinclair, whose executives overwhelmingly favor Republicans in their campaign donations, will run an anti-Kerry movie on its 62 TV stations, many of them in key battleground states, according to the LA Times yesterday.

Senator John McCain chastised the company back in April when they refused to run Nightline, writing in a letter to Sinclair CEO David Smith, "Your decision to deny your viewers an opportunity to be reminded of war's terrible costs, in all their heartbreaking detail, is a gross disservice to the public, and to the men and women of the United States Armed Forces. It is, in short, sir, unpatriotic. I hope it meets with the public opprobrium it most certainly deserves."

Media Matters has an advocacy campaign to take action.
