A 30-minute television special featuring Swift Boat Veterans and POWs for Truth, the group challenging Sen. John Kerry's version of his war record and his anti-war activities, is airing in 16 markets in eight battleground states, according to a non-profit Florida group buying the broadcast time.

Campaign Truth, responsible for producing the show, has added Fox network stations in the Ohio cities of Dayton and Columbus, owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, the television chain at the center of controversy over the airing of another anti-Kerry documentary, "Stolen Honor."

The broadcasts will begin sometime after Fox's Sunday NFL preview show, Campaign Truth said.

The special, "Unfit to Lead," also is being aired on PAX network affilates in Cleveland and in seven other states, including Florida, where it will be seen in five major markets, Orlando, Jacksonville, Tampa, Miami and West Palm Beach.

In addition, it is scheduled in Denver; Minneapolis-St. Paul; Cleveland; Milwaukee; Des Moines, Iowa; Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Scranton, Pa.; and Charleston, W.Va.

The show, hosted by swiftboat vet spokesman John O'Neill, also is available exclusively to WorldNetDaily readers online for a limited time.

It features many of the men whose testimonies about Kerry were heard in the controversial advertisements played in key swing states over the past several months.

Times are listed below.

The broadcasts in Florida and Cleveland are being promoted with newspaper ads.

In the special, one of Kerry's former superior officers, Capt. George Elliott, says he believes Kerry should have been removed from command.

Elliott was commander of Coastal Division 11, where Kerry spent his four months of active duty in Vietnam.

"If I knew then what I know now, he would have been thrown out of my command and probably recommended for removal from the Navy," Elliott says of Kerry.

Breaking News from NewsMax.com

NewsMax to Air 'Stolen Honor'

Dear NewsMax Readers:

Despite obnoxious attempts by the Kerry campaign to stop the airing of Carlton Sherwood's documentary, "Stolen Honor: Wounds that Never Heal," we are pleased to announce that it will begin airing this weekend on many stations across the country.

NewsMax will be airing the program as part of its news programming, offering the American people the accounts of American heroes - our former POWs - and how John Kerry's activities hurt them, their families, and the country.

The efforts to censor this documentary may rank as one of the most shocking episodes of this historic presidential campaign.

Because of the Gestapo tactics that have been employed to shut down broadcasters, stations and theaters that have sought to air "Stolen Honor," NewsMax will not be releasing the air times of the program.

We can assure our readers that this program will air many times and be broadcast into millions of homes. NewsMax is committed to the public's right to know on matters of public policy.

We again thank the many NewsMax readers who have helped sponsor our programming. If you have not yet joined us, you can by Going Here and getting a copy of "Stolen Honor."

Thank you.

Editors NewsMax.com

P.S.: As we write this we are still buying air time across the United States.

Second Update: O'Neil and Smith on CSPAN2 here in Florida at 9PM EST.

Last time they said one thing and did another. Forgive me if I don't get my hopes up...again.

You don't need to get your hopes up again, just understand that the legal problem Sinclair had BEFORE was giving an illegal "donation in kind".

This time a group is buying the time...if that IS the case, then Sinclair has no problems.

Of course, this could fall through since it is possible that the "non Profit" group could back out -- under pressure -- if they are not a 527 group. The group is not named or described.

If they are a regular "non-profit" and tax exempt there could be attacks on their tax exempt status. However, that would be trouble for THEM...not Sinclair.

ALSO, they may not care about losing tax exempt status given the stakes!

[My2Cents]

After they punted on "Stolen Honor" last week, I don't trust Sinclair.

[wagglebee]

Sinclair is just broadcasting, another group bought the air time. Presumably that means Sinclair can't do another hatchet job.

[My2Cents]

Then I'm encouraged.

[airborne]

Good point! Thanks for talking me down. ;^)

[lifacs]

WTCN started showing Stolen Honor here in Palm Beach County tonight at 8:30.

[jellybean]

NewsMax will not be releasing the air times of the program.

How do you find out when/where it will be shown???
