The Long War of Sinclair Broadcasting Group

The director of a documentary about John Kerry's Vietnam service is suing Sinclair Broadcasting Group. George Butler claims copyright infringement in his suit. Sinclair was originally going to broadcast an anti-Kerry documentary, Stolen Honor. They backed off under mounting political and financial pressure. Now, Sinclair plans a program on different documentaries in this election year. Butler directed Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry. Sinclair apparently plans to include clips of it in their modified offering. (Reuters)
