UNDER PRESSURE, SINCLAIR DROPS BIASED SHOW CRITICAL OF KERRY; INSTEAD AIRS BALANCED DOC, "JOHN KERRY: WIFE-BEATING JEW OR WAR-WAFFLING TRAITOR?"
Sinclair Broadcasting told the press they do not want to give an impression that they are leaning towards either Bush or Kerry, and apologized for any controversy. After intense pressure from several groups, and the firing of one of their top news people, the company announced they are dropping a controversial program critical of the Democratic Presidential nominee. Instead, the documentary "John Kerry: Wife-Beating Jew or War-Waffling Traitor?" will, according to Sinclair, "show both sides of Kerry, and let the audience discover his true nature for themselves".
