Do you think that it would be better timing to air it when the issue didn't
matter?
Is this a "controversial issue of public importance?"
They aren't airing the film, but clips from it. Would it be better to wait
until after the election? How would that help?

I'm not sure I was attempting to get across any sort of position on the
issue.
Just pointing out what I perceive to be the difference.
If I were to state my opinion, I'd probably say something like I believe
it's
very sleazy of Sinclair to air this film at this particular point in time,
but
that they probably have the right to be sleazy.
