So, you think there is something wrong with them airing one? What other
constraints do you think should be placed on Sinclair? Other broadcasters?
Note: the FCC can't do anything about truthful content that is neither
indecent or obscene. Certainly, they can't do anything about a program that
has not aired.

Moore is extremely upfront and in your face about his bias also while
Sinclair suggest this "documentary" is totally unbiased. Does Sinclair
offer a lot of documentaries in prime time without commercials?
