After it was reported that Sinclair, the largest television station group in the country, would air an anti-Kerry film on its 62 stations prior to the election, the company has come under swift attack from Democrats in Washington.

The web has also been buzzing with activity, prompting a dedicated blog, petition site and Sinclair advertiser database for petition and boycott purposes. |
