Remember, he's the GOOD guy who spoke up against Sinclair and got fired. From the Wash Post:

On Tuesday, under mounting political, legal and financial pressure, Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc. decided not to air a film attacking John Kerry's Vietnam war service and said it would only air portions of the documenary in an hour-long special, "A POW Story: Politics, Pressure and the Media," on Friday.

Jon Leiberman, the company's Washington bureau chief, was fired on Monday for criticizing original plans to air the movie.

Leiberman will be online Thursday, Oct. 21, at 2:30 p.m. ET to discuss the controversy surrounding the possible airing of the film, and his subsequent dismissal.

Submit your questions and comments before or during today's discussion.

A request for an online discussion with a representative from the Sinclair Broadast Group has been made and washingtonpost.com will advise its readers.
