Why Republicans are fucking assholes, part 99,756,987,324,544...

The FCC, headed by Colin's son Michael Powell, has ruled that Sinclair Broadcasting can air an anti-Kerry documentary just days before the election without giving equal time to an anti-Bush documentary. Powell tried reasoning this decision:

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Michael Powell said he knows of no precedent that would allow the commission to block the airing of a program.

Perhaps this dipshit needs to be introduced to something called the Equal Time law, which includes this provision:

Stations who gave time to candidates on regularly scheduled newscasts, news interviews shows, documentaries (assuming the candidate wasn't the primary focus of the documentary), or on-the-spot news events would not have to offer equal time to other candidates for that office.

Since John Kerry is the primary focus of this documentary, the law clearly states that Sinclair must give equal time to the Kerry campaign. But they won't. Therefore, what they are doing is illegal.

But I guess we can't expect a Republicans to uphold the law, now can we?
