I just got off the phone with the Sinclair Broadcast Group, the media conglomerate that owns seven ABC affiliates. Sinclair is refusing to let its affiliates air "Nightline" tonight, as mentioned earlier.

John McCain called Sinclair's decision "unpatriotic":

"Your decision to deny your viewers an opportunity to be reminded of war's terrible costs, in all their heartbreaking detail, is a gross disservice to the public, and to the men and women of the United States Armed Forces. . .It is, in short, sir, unpatriotic. I hope it meets with the public opprobrium it most certainly deserves.

Want to contact Sinclair yourself? I hope you do. Their phone number is 410-568-1500.
