Sinclair Broadcast Group advertiser boycott

Filed under: — Aprille @ 12:50 pm

Friends of democracy, please take a look at this site, which gives lists (exhaustive and top 10) of advertisers who have paid to be associated with Sinclair Broadcast Group’s partisan hijacking of their member stations.

Just days before the election, the Sinclair Broadcast Group will require its member stations (including KGAN Channel 2 in eastern Iowa) to show an anti-Kerry film, interrupting prime-time broadcasting. This may be illegal; the Federal Election Committee is looking into it (source).

How you can help: boycott the advertisers, and call or write to tell them you’re boycotting and why. My current cellular phone provider, U.S. Cellular, is one of the top ten. I’m switching my service. I’ve been happy with U.S. Cellular, but my contract is up, and this is reason enough for me to change.
