If they succeed in their plan to crush the documentary Stolen Honor, the Democratic Party can lay claim to being the political party that’s officially opposed to the First Amendment: Burger King Bars Ads from TV Show Discussing Kerry. (Hat tip: zulubaby.)
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Hamburger chain Burger King said on Wednesday that it would not run its commercials during a controversial program about U.S. presidential candidate John Kerry to be aired by Sinclair Broadcast Group.
Sinclair on Tuesday backed away from airing a documentary critical of Kerry’s Vietnam War-era record, but said it would show portions of that film in a special program that discusses allegations he betrayed fellow veterans with his antiwar activities.
Burger King’s move suggests advertisers may not be assured the new program’s format averts political controversy. Democrats have branded plans to air the program as a blatant partisan attack less than two weeks before the Nov. 2 ballot.

I'll never be going to BK again, period. Captial P.
HOWEVER, didnt sinclair say right along there would be no commericals during the program? So in reality nothing at all was changed by BK decission except to make the left gloat and the right boycott. Pretty dumb move.
I wonder if some reporter didnt call BK and say what are you doing about the sinclair documentary and someone said we wont have any ads on during the program and they turned that into a story.
