Sinclair Sued by Filmmaker Over Kerry Photos

By Gail Appleson

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The director of a documentary about John Kerry (news - web sites)'s Vietnam service sued Sinclair Broadcast Group on Thursday, accusing it of illegally copying his photographs in a controversial anti-Kerry movie it plans to air portions of this week.

George Butler filed the copyright infringement suit one day before Sinclair, one of the largest U.S. television broadcasting companies, plans to broadcast part of "Stolen Honor: Wounds that Never Heal" in a one-hour television program discussing allegations about the Democratic presidential candidate's anti-Vietnam War activities in the 1970s.

1. One more lawsuit for Sinclair

I bet that Mark Hyman thought that the liberals would just take this all laying down.

6. Those Sinclair jack offs

deserve everything they get. I'm glad their stock is down and that so many great dems have been fighting back. I hope more people find ways to take them to court and destroy them financially.
