I sent an e-mail to the CEO of Sinclair Broadcast Group (via Common Cause's Action network) regarding their censorship of NIGHTLINE. I was glad to see that Senator John McCain publically called them out on the issue. It's also quite likely that fewer folks would have tuned in (rather than catching Leno or Letteman) to ABC had Sinclair not made this into a political issue. Which of course, they claim is what ABC is doing.

The Washington Post has an article on the whole thing over on their site. It has comments from both sides, but Sinclair doesn't come off looking all that objective anyway. As somebody on Air America said Sinclair is looking to be the new Fox (which as you all know was about the only network which didn't publish the photographs of the U.S. coffins. Nor allow them to be printed in the New York Post (another Murdoch vehicle).
