During the 2004 presidential campaign, Sherwood wrote and directed the anti-Kerry documentary "Stolen Honor", which presented the viewpoints of a number of American Vietnam War veterans who contend that John Kerry's anti-war activities harmed them and depicted Kerry as a traitor. Sherwood told Fox News, "We're all Vietnam combat vets, and we were all slandered and vilified by John Kerry, branded as baby killers." The journalistic standards of this piece were widely called into question. Sinclair Broadcasting planned to broadcast it on the eve of the general election, stating that they considered it to be newsworthy. After the ensuing controversy, Sinclair did not broadcast the film.
