Sinclair Broadcast Group, a conservative-owned chain of television
stations which has provoked an uproar by its plans to broadcast
incendiary allegations against John Kerry, has sacked its chief
political correspondent for speaking out against the decision.
The Washington bureau chief, Jon Lieberman, said he had been dismissed
for "telling the truth". But Sinclair, which is owned by Republican
backers, said he had been sacked for speaking to the press about
"company business".

But they're a media group and their plans were already well known to
everyone. The only thing lacking was any kind of justification for
their unregistered and in kind campaign contribution in the form of a
propaganda film against Kerry.

"It is fashionable to wax apocalyptic about the
threat to humanity posed by the AIDS virus, 'mad cow'
disease, and many others, but I think a case can be
made that faith is one of the world's great evils,
comparable to the smallpox virus but harder to
eradicate." -- Richard Dawkins
