sinclair disputes having any kind of political bent. executives declined to talk with us on camera for this report. but the record shows, the maryland-based sinclair has used its ownership of local stations to push partisan viewpoints for years. for example, after the 9/11 attacks, sinclair required anchors and reporters to read messages supporting president george bush's efforts against terrorism. >> brangham: in 2004, when abc news' "nightline" devoted an entire show to reading the names of u.s. service members who'd died in iraq, sinclair, which owned seven abc affiliates at the time, barred those stations from showing the broadcast. later that year, in the midst of the presidential campaign between john kerry and president george bush, sinclair mandated all its stations run a special that included clips from a distinctly one-sided documentary that questioned john kerry's vietnam war service. >> i was outraged, and still am. that he willingly said things which were untrue. >> brangham: on the night before >> brangham: and more recent

commissioner rosenworcel, there have been a series of reports on the sinclair tribune merger. i'm concerned about the impact this merger would have. the fcc has a critical role to play in the merger of the process. from your perspective, how do you think the commission has handled the review of this merger and related proceedings? >> thank you for the question. frankly, i'm concerned. i think any broadcaster reaching more than 70% of the united states' households would be unprecedented. i'm also concerned that if you look at the series of media policy decisions that has been made by this commission, they all seem to serve sinclair broadcasting's business plans. from reinstating the uhf discount to changing the 39% rule that was enacted by congress, to possibly foisting on all of our households a new broadcast standard for which they own many, many patents. i think it has reached a point where all of our media policy decisions seem to be custom-built for this one company. and i think it's something that merits investigation. >> thank you. that's a pretty strong statement. mr. p
