Sinclair Broadcast Group V.P. Asked to Reconsider Holocaust Denial Comments

RULE




  October 11, 2004

Mark Hyman, Vice President
Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc.
10706 Beaver Dam Road
Hunt Valley, Maryland 21030

Dear Mr. Hyman:

We found your comment reported in today's Washington Post that, "The networks are acting like Holocaust deniers…" deeply troubling with regard to their coverage of anti-Kerry veterans groups.

Regardless of your opinion of the quality of news coverage relating to Presidential campaign issues, your analogy to those who deny the Nazi murder of 6 million Jews and millions of others is insensitive and painful. Usage of Holocaust imagery to score political points at any time is unacceptable.

We urge you to withdraw the comment.

  Sincerely,

  Abraham H. Foxman,
National Director
