Sinclair Smear: Right-Wing Film Strafing Kerry
by Robert Sam Anson

The war thought safely over bit John Kerry anew this week, just when he was beginning to nudge ahead in the polls. And, boy, did it bite deep.

Yes, dear reader, Vietnam is back. Again? Afraid so. And if you thought the Swift boat stuff was awful, brace yourself: This is worse.

Unless decency or the F.C.C. intervenes (neither likely), you’ll be getting increasingly mouth-watering glimpses on your favorite cable news channel between now and a few days before the election.

For the life of me, I can't see any reason why these "former, very bitter, very vocal residents of the Hanoi Hilton" could possibly be upset with him.

Also, exactly how much media attention has Michael Moore's attempt to have his thoroughly debunked smear job against Bush aired on television gotten?

I thought so.
