LOS ANGELES -- Baltimore County-based Sinclair Broadcast Group is ordering its TV stations across the country to air a documentary on the eve of the presidential election.
The Los Angeles Times reported Saturday that the documentary attacks Senator John Kerry's anti-Vietnam War activism.
The one-hour program is called "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal" and features former prisoners of war.
They accuse Kerry, a decorated veteran who took up the anti-war cause upon returning from Vietnam, of prolonging the war and worsening their plight.
The newspaper reported the program is to be followed by a panel discussion to which Kerry will be invited, which could satisfy fairness regulations.
Sinclair either owns or programs content for stations in 62 markets around the country, including Baltimore.
