I wasn't really paying attention the last week or so, busy at work.   
But the story on the 'sinclair broadcasting group' requesting that all 
of their stations they own run the vietnam thing about Senator Kerry 
kinda sticks in my craw a bit.   It'd be different if there was a 
'where was george' section of this, but right now it looks like an hour 
long ad for George Bush.  Depending on the wind direction each day he 
needs all the help he can get thanks to those few states that will 
decide the election.

WB and UPN currently have a small handful of shows I like to watch 
(Smallville, Jack and Bobby, Enterprise) but if the local affiliate is 
going to pollute the airwaves with this seemingly obvious hour or so 
long political ad I'm going to have a hard time giving money to them by 
watching their broadcasts ever again.

But since they're the monopoly on three shows I enjoy I'm kinda screwed 
because there is no other source short of buying the episodes months, 
or years later should they come out on DVD.

I've really enjoyed not being in a 'battleground' state this election 
year compared to living near Missouri in 2000.   The political ads have 
been relatively tame.

The WB and UPN stations here in Raleigh seem to be missing this in 
their 'news' sections on the websites.  Does anyone know if they intend 
to fulfill this 'request' from their parent corporation?
