Owners and media personalities are two different things. And he's using control of the public airwaves to do it. The same guy who wouldn't let nightline read the names of the dead, not because it was too much against his personal agenda supppsoedly, but becuase it was 'too political'. The names of the dead? Too political. A full length documentary? News.

he wants to cover it on a typical chunk of the half hour evening news? Fine. But to pre-empt programming to air a documentary? That's abuse of his broadcasting liscence. ABC isn't running "Farenheit 911" on the bogus claim that the material on W's relationship with the Saudis makes it a news program.
