Turnabout is fair play.
Considering C-BS, Michael Moore, and all their garbage, they really have no credible room to complain.
Typical though, they try to censor the airing.... Dems Oppose Plan to Air Anti-Kerry Film Oct 11, 3:05 PM (ET) By LIZ SIDOTI WASHINGTON (AP) - The Democratic Party and 18 senators are objecting to a broadcasting company's plan to air on 62 TV stations a critical documentary about John Kerry's anti-war activities after he returned home from Vietnam three decades ago. Sinclair Broadcast Group has asked its television stations - many of them in competitive states in the presidential election - to pre-empt regular programming to run the documentary as part of an hourlong program two weeks before the Nov. 2 election. Based near Baltimore, the company owns or manages affiliates of major broadcast networks in several states, including Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania. Mark Hyman, a vice president of corporate relations for Sinclair who also is a conservative commentator for the company, said Monday the show would contain some or all of the 42-minute film as well as a panel discussion of some sort. He said final details had not been worked out. The documentary, called "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal," chronicles Kerry's 1971 testimony before Congress and links him to activist and actress Jane Fonda. It includes interviews with Vietnam prisoners of war and their wives who claim that Kerry's testimony - filled with "lurid fantasies of butchery in Vietnam" on the part of U.S. troops - demeaned them and led their captors to hold them longer. The Democratic National Committee planned to file a complaint with the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday contending that Sinclair's airing of the film should be considered an illegal in-kind contribution to President Bush's campaign. Also, 18 Democratic senators sent a letter to the Federal Communication Commission asking that it investigate whether Sinclair's plan was an improper use of public airwaves. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20041011/D85LDJ680.html

Why don't election laws apply to Republicans? Don't they have to also play by the rules?

Weren't you just complaining that the media is nothing but Left Wing propaganda specialists?
Thought so.
