NY Times goes crazy

You will not believe this review of Stolen Honor the film about POWs that criticizes John Kerry for his antiwar stance when he returned from Vietnam. Here's how it begins.
Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal," the highly contested anti-Kerry documentary, should not be shown by the Sinclair Broadcast Group.
OK, I'm not the least bit surprised - but wait - the next sentence is
It should be shown in its entirety on all the networks, cable stations and on public television.
Come again? This is the NY Times saying this?

Where's my twilight zone meter? Why should I watch this film again?
This histrionic, often specious and deeply sad film does not do much more damage to Senator John Kerry's reputation than have the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth's negative ads, which have flooded television markets in almost every swing state. But it does help viewers better understand the rage fueling the unhappy band of brothers who oppose Mr. Kerry's candidacy and his claim to heroism.
There may be hope for the Gray Lady yet.

Alright, now I'm going off the deep end.
