More about Stolen Honor

The Associated Press reports that the cable pay-per-view company iN DEMAND has backed away from a plan to show a three-hour election eve special with filmmaker Michael Moore that included the first television showing of his documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11."

The company said Friday it would not air "The Michael Moore Pre-Election Special" due to "legitimate business and legal concerns." A spokesman would not elaborate.

The AP noted that Moore has just released his movie on DVD and was seeking a TV outlet for the film, which sharply criticizes President Bush, as close to the election as possible.

Meanwhile, Kerry's campaign is launching a fierce effort to stop Sinclair Broadcasting from airing the documentary "Stolen Honor" a documentary that includes several POWs accusing Kerry of betraying them and the United States during the Vietnam War.

Kerry's allies have launched a major grass roots campaign to have their supporters call Sinclair's major advertisers, threatening a boycott of their companies if Sinclair goes ahead with the planned broadcast.

So far, Sinclair is sticking to its guns and will air the program next week.

But the Veterans' group behind "Stolen Honor" is planning to bypass the major media outlets by distributing "Stolen Honor" directly to citizens through DVD and video, as well as buying commercial air time to show all or part of their documentary.
