To: Sinclair Broadcasting Group:

Your decision to force your television stations to air untrue attacks about John Kerry is a gross abuse of your role as media owners — and constitutes an illegal contribution to the Bush-Cheney 04 campaign.

I demand that you pull your plans to air this smear against John Kerry. The partisan politics of your executives have no place in the newsrooms of your television stations.
