Sinclair Broadcasting stock is getting hammered today over their broadcast of the anti-Kerry documentary. Must be fear of ad boycott. The chart is lovely: <http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=SBGI&d=b>.

Veteran files libel suit against director of anti-Kerry film 10/18/2004, 10:42 a.m. ET By DAVID B. CARUSO The Associated Press
[Excerpt]
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A Vietnam veteran shown in a documentary criticizing Sen. John Kerry's anti-war activities filed a libel lawsuit against the movie's producer Monday, saying the film falsely calls him a fraud and a liar.
Kenneth J. Campbell, now a professor at the University of Delaware, said in the suit that "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal" combines footage of him appearing at a 1971 war protest with narration that claims that many of the supposed veterans who took part in the event were later "discovered as frauds" who "never set foot on the battlefield, or left the comfort of the States, or even served in uniform."
Campbell attached copies of his military records to the suit, showing that he received the Purple Heart medal and eight other medals, ribbons and decorations for his service as an artillery forward observer in Vietnam in 1968 and 1969.
