John F. Kerry's campaign demanded yesterday that Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc. provide his campaign equal time after broadcasting a movie attacking his Vietnam record, but the company said it is holding out for an interview with the Democratic nominee himself.
"Stolen Honor" features 17 former prisoners of war who say that Kerry's 1971 Senate testimony about atrocities in Vietnam had the effect of extending their captivity. It was made by Vietnam veteran Carlton Sherwood, who shared a 1980 Pulitzer Prize at Gannett News Service and more recently was an aide to Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge.
Hyman said the charges of veterans "who were brutally tortured" should not be ignored, and he did not back off a comment that the networks "are acting like Holocaust deniers, pretending these men don't exist." Sinclair is not doing a special on Bush, he said, because no new information has surfaced to warrant one.
Nasty!!!
