Very large U.S. TV network to air documentary-shaped anti-Kerry lieball, Federal Election Commission will investigate

While things like Fahrenheit 911 are just good clean fun.

:Stolen Honour has been produced by Carlton Sherwood, a Vietnam veteran

It also sounds like it's going to document Mr Kerry's actual
activities in the post-Vietnam era. Yeah, gotta squelch reality.
Why, we can't have people making up their minds based on someone
actually telling them the facts!

You all seem to be missing a critical point: Farenheit 9/11 was
explicitly denied the right to air on public television. Moore is
currently pursuing Pay Per View as a method of distribution. Sinclair
Networks' airing of this show flies in the face of all the campaign
finance laws that stopped Michael Moore from showing Farenheit 9/11 on
network television. Airing either show on pay per view is, however,
perfectly legal.

Hogwash! If that was true, why was Moore offering it to Sinclair for
free last night?

:Moore is

And they've told him they don't want it.

Again, hogwash! You are also ignoring the minor issue that one show
may be a real documentary, while we know that the other is Michael
Moore propaganda and not a documentary at all.

:Airing either show on pay per view is, however,
erfectly legal.

Except for the minor problem that Pay Per View changed their mind and
told Moore they weren't interested.

It was a 'Michael Moore Election Special' that was cancelled, 'Fahrenheit
911' was due to be shown as part of this.

PPV (actually a company called 'On Demand') are actually claiming
'legitimate legal and business problems'.

Moore is screaming blue murder about 'People putting pressure on them'.

Well, this seems to be Moore's mode of operation to get free
publicity, doesn't it? There is absolutely zero evidence that
Republicans (or anyone else) has actually applied any pressure.
