The Heritage Foundation? Surprise!
Josh Silver, executive director of the nonprofit advocacy group Free Press, said: "Sinclair is putting their political interests ahead of journalistic standards by calling this anti-Kerry documentary news, which it's not. . . . It's reprehensible at best, illegal at worst."

But Heritage Foundation media analyst Mark Tapscott called it a free speech issue, saying: "Why are we even thinking about limiting what a media organization can publish? There are lots of things in the world that are unfair."

3. One of my nephews works for the Heritage Foundation.....
He drank the kool-aid, and signed up. :puke:

It is MORE than distressing to me. They're a certifiably wacko bunch of theocratic nazis. He used to be a good kid.

7. They are just following the examples set by FAUX and CNN and all the other
networks.
Journalistic standards have all but evaporated in the last 12 years.
