I would call what Sinclaire Broadcasting is doing conspiracy, but it doesn't fit any of the dictionary definitions. So, we must find different verbiage to describe it. Does wantonly and outrageously partisan or wishing to use their FCC licensed public airwaves to alter the outcome of a political race really have a specific word to describe it? How about lets call it the liberal media. Does showing a movie that is rife with fallacious and slanderous information generated by men who have been following John Kerry for 30+ years and consistently harassing him for being for the end of the Vietnam War sound liberal to you? I'm 30+ years old, and the only things I've done consistently for 30+ years are eating, breathing, and defecating.
If you harass someone for more than a few hours it is considered stalking. What do you call it after 30+ years? Swift Boat. There... something beyond obsession, beyond stalking, beyond harassment. We can now call it swift boat.
