Seems to me the issue is the use of the public airwaves, which under our 
laws, belong to the citizens and may be used as prescribed by the Federal 
Communications Commission. Whether use of profanity or use for religious or 
political purposes, there are rules that control. Seems to me that is how 
such issues as this Sinclair production should be resolved.

Michael Moore made a movie with his own money. He didn't get any free time 
or space on the public airways.



Although I see a big difference between the two, I have to agree with you , 
Gene on the issue of use of the airwaves. Michael Moore made a very one sided 
documentary and has attempted to contract for pay per view time the night 
before the election, but it is still pay per view. Sinclair is broadcasting 
on the 
open airwaves and should still fall under guidelines covering such.
