The High Cost of Stolen Honor

Sinclair Broadcasting Group airs "A POW Story" tonight (Friday) on it's stations around the country. A big change from the original plan of airing an anti-Kerry documentary -- Stolen Honor. It's been a long couple of weeks for Sinclair: political outrage, calls for FCC investigations, threats of insider trading lawsuits, an 8% drop in stock prices, firing their chief political reporter for his opposition to Stolen Honor's airing, and finally their retreat. The AP profiles the man behind Sinclair and at the center of the storm in the airwaves. (SF Chronicle)
