From a legal perspective I think they are ok. The current election laws are a joke in a sense, as is the interpretaion by the federal Election Board(I think thats the name - Im not sure).
From a real world fairness perspective Michael Moores "F 911" is just as bad if not worse as biased documentaries go,. Since Kerry has went on Stage , with Moore, he shouldnt complain. In a real world perspective it doesnt matter if its on free TV or on DvD - everyone who wants to see it will see it.
I think people trying to present the Sinclaire documentary as "wrong" are just whiny Bush haters.
Much like I think the people who were "enraged" by Clintons affair really just didnt like Democrats.

Rather than turn this into a pissing contest of who has sent out more biased propaganda than who, let me just say corruption by one part does not justify corruption on the other part.
Murdering one person isn't instantly Just because the opposing group killed two.
There is a larger issue here, which is why I use the word corrupt to describe this propaganda, the issue of hidden biases.
Regardless of who did what, or how bad, presenting any openly biased piece of work as unbiased to the general public is heinous.
I'm not saying everything needs to unbiased, its a fact of life that things do naturally hold one bias or another. The problem is media in general continues to present news as unbiased, and the public often times believes it.
It's on TV, so it must be true, right?
