"If you use that logic and reasoning, that means every car bomb in Iraq would be an in-kind contribution to John Kerry. Weak job-performance ratings that came out last month would have been an in-kind contribution to John Kerry." (On CNN Tuesday 10/12/04)Mark Hyman - Vice President for Corporate Relations for Sinclair, the company that plans to air the anti-Kerry movie on TV stations nationwide.
In addition to his flacking for Sinclair on TV today, Mark also happens to broadcast to 4 million viewers on Sinclair stations a daily commentary called The Point. Recent topics?

He even has a "reading" list for his viewers, including works of journalistic integrity such as Unfit For Command - a book co-authored by Jerome Corsi (read all about Corsi's open bigotry here).
So just who is proselytizing to 4 million people a day? Who is this face of Sinclair? From his company biography:
He served briefly in the Army before attending college on an Army ROTC scholarship. He was later accepted to the U. S. Naval Academy from which he graduated in 1981. He served as a naval officer on ships assigned to the East and West coasts and he served in the U.S. Navy's European headquarters in London. He has conducted worldwide travel with extensive time spent in the Middle East. He left active duty in 1989 and became employed as a civilian in the Office of Naval Intelligence, which included assignments with the U.S. On-Site Inspection Agency as a disarmament treaty weapons inspector in former Warsaw Pact countries. A Captain in the Naval Reserve, he has served in leadership positions in CIA's National Warning Staff, the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office and he is currently a Commanding Officer in the Naval Reserve's Space and Network Warfare Program....Okay, you tell me. An active member of the Naval Reserve, clearly with an intelligence background, is broadcasting commentary to 4 million people a day and now is trying to convince the public they should believe the already discredited Swift Boat people? hmmmm....
The military organizations in which he has served have been awarded four CIA National Intelligence Meritorious Unit Commendations during his service, and he has been awarded the Navy Meritorious Civilian Service Award, and several Navy and Joint military awards.
