Sinclair Back in the News

Posted on by Kathy E. Gill

Sinclair Broadcasting is directing its 62 stations — which reach a quarter of the American public — to air Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal, a documentary that attacks Senator John Kerry for his activism after returning from Vietnam. Sinclair owns the largest chain of TV stations in the country; it made the controversial move to block an ABC broadcast of Nightline earlier this year. Top executives of the company are public supporters of President Bush.

Posted on by Kathy E. Gill

The Everett Herald (WA) reports that 20 of the 886 eVoting machines (made by Sequoia Voting Systems) failed during last month’s primary election. The company says that the failure was hardware, not software. Remember: if you don’t want to vote on an electronic machine that has no paper trail — either vote absentee (preferable) or ask for a paper ballot at your polling place.
