Sinclair's Plans continue to Unravel...gee, it's tough to see bad things happen to assholes isn't it?

A triple play of bad news.

First, as Atrios tells us with his running total, Sinclair Broadcasting's stock continues to nosedive.

Second, the producer of the wretched propoganda piece "Stolen Honor" which is the bilge that Sinclair has ordered affiliates to broadcast has been sued for libel by one of the Vet's portrayed. Sounds like a decent case too.

Third, Sinclair's very own chief political reporter isn't happy (registration required):

The Washington bureau chief for Maryland-based Sinclair Broadcast Group's news division angrily denounced his employer last night for plans to air an hourlong program that is to include incendiary allegations against Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry for his anti-war activism three decades ago.

"It's biased political propaganda, with clear intentions to sway this election," said Jon Leiberman, Sinclair's lead political reporter for more than a year. "For me, it's not about right or left -- it's about what's right or wrong in news coverage this close to an election."
