No exactly. They are not "affiliates". They are PROPERTY.

We have a Sinclair station here. It is an "NBC" "affiliate".
It is OWNED by Sinclair. Sinclair says what it broadcasts,
not NBC.

So what the hell is your point?

Let me re-phrase my statement above:

And it most emphatically was NOT a Bush propaganda film.

It was a Kerry hit piece to influence the presidential election.

The Sinclair executives have only been ALLOWED to license the use of
the airwaves--they don't own them.

The FCC should go after those *******s and take away their license.



If we want to talk about affiliates and programs,
I suggest CBS and their outright FRAUDLENT attack program
against Bush.
