Paul Alexander, director of the critically-acclaimed film "Brothers in Arms" which examines John Kerry's experience in Vietnam in a favorable light has offered his film, free of charge, to Sinclair broadcasting, to run along with the anti-Kerry film they are forcing their stations to run next week.
A Sinclair spokesman told the New York Times that the company would consider running a Kerry documentary from a different perspective, but couldn't find one. Alexander's offer effectively, and publicly, calls Sinclair's bluff.
Meanwhile, a campaign is being mounted boycott Sinclair stations and contact their advertisers. The Boycott Sinclair website lists known advertisers in local markets and their contact info. You can search by market, see what local businesses advertise on Sinclair stations, call them up, and let them know you won't tolerate Sinclair's political attack masquerading as news programming, and they shouldn't be paying for it.
