Let them know you won't be spending money at their theme parks, wont be watching ABC, won't be patronizing ABC's sponsers, etc.

Hell, how many times can I boycott Disney?

The better approach is to personally call your local ABC affiliate and calmly explain why you will no longer be watching their local news. A locals big, big source of revenue is from local news advertising.

I did this last week with the CBS affiliate and the station manager was very apologetic. I explained I would give Rather a pass on the documents, but the reinstitution of the draft story was a blatant falsehood, which CBS admittedly knew and ran with anyway. I gave my name and number and told him to call me when Rather was gone and the news department overhauled. He actually thanked me for my politeness.

Another issure to bring up with ABC is how, immediately after the broadcast, Peter Jennings jumped all over the fact that W did in fact own a lumber company. Wish I had it on tape, he went after it like a shark to chum. I'm willing to bet that they had a heads up that Kerry was going to use it in the debate. They even got it wrong just like factcheck.org did.

Here's my letter:



Dear Board Members of Disney,

It is apparent that ABC News, under the direction of Marc Halperin for its political coverage, has officially joined the crowd of the "coerced."

Mr. Halperin's internal memo has inflicted yet another slap in the face of the American people, who's trust was once again violated by the mainstream liberal media.

It is painfully obvious that ABC News did not learn from CBS and the Dan Rather Memogate. ABC News hasn't learned that the American people are very capable of formulated their own opinion. We don't need nor do we want our news "shaped" in a way that reflects the political leanings of Mr. Halperin or any other news executive.

Please, do the right thing and fire Mr. Halperin. Apologize to the American public for violating the public trust and do everything in your power to begin the restoration of journalistic integrity.

Until Mr. Halperin is removed from his position, I will not support the ABC Network or its sponsors. I suspect that many Americans will join me in that effort.

Regards,

Thanks for the effort!!
I tweaked it by sending it to the BODs and cc Eisner.
My family will be a Disney/ABC free family until Halperin is removed.

Thanks for the link.

Kerry distorts, takes out of context, and mistakes all the time, but these are not central to his efforts to win.

So ABC has to help him. No bias here...

Google: "sweat shop" +Disney

These stories will eventually get legs because Disney really treats their offshore workers badly. There are groups of adult women from Bangladesh now going across the USA, giving presentations at high schools to the plight of the SE Asian worker and their past relations with Disney.
