The Dimwits are putting a lot of pressure on the advertisers of the Sinclair outlets. If any of you live in a viewing area, please write to your advertisers with your support.

It's "Maine" not "Main" advertisers
To: Merry
it will be aired .... they have no choice now ....... there is not up side to their threat if they pull it ..... the dnc and kerry can not offer an up side to it.... so it is just punitive and that would make an owner very angry..... so sinclare will broadcast it..... and they wont take on Kerry .....
the owner from sinclare is ex navy.....

These advertisers will come back. They don't have a lot of choice. It is up to the station to cinch their belt for the short term.

Hi, Merry:
Sinclair will run 'Stolen Honor' no matter what. And absorb whatever loss is incurred by the DimBulbs. Push comes to shove. Hell! I'll make a donation if need be.
The FEC won't rule on this before it's aired. And the FCC cannot do anything. Period.
Just shows how tolerant the MoonBats are of the First Amendement.
Jack.

In Maine, angry viewers flooded WGME with calls and e-mails in protest of the films airing.Amazing, they didn't even get a single supportive call.

They got my call, so did Hannafords. I used to buy Caravans from Lee's.

I don't think Sinclair is all too worried about lost ad revenues. So many businesses that advertise with them are probably run by real business people who know what the Kerry plan means for them.

I mean JEEEEEZz the left side of the spectrum have a free reign to plaster Fat Boy's F 9/11 all over the airwaves but some how it is eeeeeevil to put anything critical of the left on the airwaves to balance out the arena of ideas.
Go figure...... G*d help us all if the left is in charge after 11-02-04.

... the law offices of Joe Bornstein ...Are these the yokels who keep advertising on TV looking for folks whose wages have been garnished by the IRS? In my mind, I visualize money with parsley all around it. Do you think they mean garnisheed wages?

I wonder if these advertisers buy ad time on Viacom outlets, home of the forged memos on a President 50 days before an election.

"These advertisers will come back."If they did and it were my station, I'd tell them to advertise somewhere else.
