Whooo boy...

BALTIMORE - Sinclair Broadcast Group, the conservative media company that reportedly ordered its stations to run a documentary that was highly critical of presidential candidate John Kerry, just weeks before the presidential election, has ties to the adult industry -- their CEO used to run a company that specialized in processing pornographic 8mm films. . . .

Sinclair is ran by David Smith, who in the mid-70s was a partner in a company called Cine Processors according the Los Angeles Times, which cites public records and a former partner in the company as sources.

David E. Williams, Smith's partner in the business told the Times that Cine Processors sole business was the development of 8mm pornographic films.

According to Williams the film company went out of business in 1975 or 1976 after police confiscated film and other materials during an obscenity raid. Baltimore police officials were unable to locate records of the raid, citing the decades since the raid took place as the reason why.


So what does it all mean? Beats me. I just thought it was pretty funny.

[...] The Rolling Stone article amplifies some information that was first reported in the Los Angeles Times last October, in the week before the election when it was buried in the avalanche of pre-election news. We’re glad to see Rolling Stone getting it back out there, especially right on the heels of the Guckert affair. It almost seems like to become a media mouthpiece for the "family values" GOP, you have to first take the Hypocritic Oath. [...]
