It's different because Sinclair Broadcast group is forcing all of their affiliates to air "Stolen Honor" a few days before the election, pre-empting all other programming, even in swing states. The affiliates have no choice in the matter. And Sinclair is considering categorizing it as "news," to avoid laws which require them to give balanced treatment to the presidential candidates. Nice, eh?

Fahrenheit 911 may become available on Pay-Per-View before te election, but that's a different thing.
