Nothing wrong with the documentary, which should bear the same skepticism as Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11, even if it didn't win a Palm D'Or. If it can't stand on its own, its not worth your time.
It's the abject patronage of Sinclair's Executive that I'm finding objectionable, here... which, oddly enough, falls right in line with the patronage one finds at Fox News. While Fox News might not be extremist, they're certainly well past the borders of objective reporting and hip-deep into being self-congragulatory hyperbolic spinmeisters.
Any legal "safezone" that Sinclair may have found doesn't change the fact that they've crossed a journalistic line, which once crossed, can never be regained. Trust is a hard thing to earn, much less a trusted reputation; neither one are easy to ever attempt to reclaim after a betrayal.

Never hesitate to put another bullet into the skull of the movie's main villain; it'll save time on the denouement.
Eight hours per day of children's TV programming can reduce a grown man to tears -- PM me for details.
