Boycott Sinclair Broadcast Group ^ | vanity

Posted on 10/12/2004 1:04:44 PM PDT by Fun Bob

There is a boycott being quickly organized to threaten the businesses that advertise on Sinclair Broadcasting group.

Sinclair is going to run "Stolen Valor" before the election. This is the story of the shameful way Vietnam Veterans were treated upon returning from the war. A brief segment of the movie focuses on John Kerry and the Vietnam Veterans Against the War

Please contact the businesses in your market and other markets and express your support for Sinclar broadcasting this documentary.

HAS ANYONE thought about how much advertising they WOULD get if they run an ad DURING this show? Sounds like a great deal for any FR businesses in those markets...

Where is the CAPITALISTIC thinking on our side?

Here's what I wrote:

My family and I are frequent customers of __________. We encourage you to continue advertising on Sinclair-owned stations in spite of the boycott threats and hate mail you are no doubt receiving from a sliver of Democratic activists. We will be very dissappointed if you cave to the demands of a few extremists. Sinclair is presenting the public with a viewpoint that is rarely expressed in the mainstream media. The public should be allowed to view Sinclair's programming and make their own decisions about it's validity. I can assure you that any customers you lose by advertising on Sinclair will be balanced by the respect, admiration and business you will earn by standing up to censorship.

Sinclair is laughing their way to bank.The increased ads in Battleground states have been a windfall for TV stations.Even the non-battleground states are making more due to local races.They can handle a two week boycott with ease.

From the liberal sites, it looks like they are really hitting the sponsors. We one the CBS Regan movie fight, we can win this one if we act. Anything that keeps Kerry out of the WhiteHouse is a good thing!
