I think turnabout is fair play. After the show has aired, and the blatant truth has seen the light of day, it would be nice to air some commercials attacking those businesses that by their actions, moved to squelch the truth.

I don't think it's ever been done before, but these are new times, and we face a MSM that has violated all semblances of objectivity, truth and ethics.

If we don't clean house after this election, we will eventually lose. Because as Bush said, "We have to be right all the time, and they only have to be right once." Anybody that doubts this need only look to Venezuela to see how a democratically-elected leftist cannot be extricated by democratic procedures, once the scumbag is put in by idiot voters. The voters figure it out fast, but to no avail.

We seem to have used car salesmen and television advertising attorneys for Kerry-Edwards? LOL!

I'm glad to hear Hannafords has changed their mind. We do some shopping there when we're in Maine, and I think well of them.

Contact these "advertisers, and tell them that their partisan politics will cost them your business.


I couldn't have put it any better

If they did and it were my station, I'd tell them to advertise somewhere else.

No, quadruple the prices to them, and if they have competition that stayed with ya, give the competition advance copy of the ads so they can advertise better deals immediately after. That would be sweet!

Sinclair should counter by not accepting any future ads from any advertiser who pulls their ads because of Sinclair showing the Kerry film. Sinclair has the power, lets hope they know how to use it.

the law offices of Joe Bornstein <<<

LOL. Aren't these the ambulance chaser types with the "thug" ads? IIRC, the ads go something like this: "evil" business execs' lawyers discover that Joe Bornstein is on the case, their faces become sour, and all suddenly decide that they had better settle out of court.

Isn't there also a shadowy Joe Bornstein rep in these ads, who's body language is very mob-like? As in, he smacks a night stick type object in his hand, stuff like that.

Me, too. Since the stations will probably receive a good share of the audience, any advertiser wanting to pull their support, is doing it solely for political reasons, just what they claim the program is doing. It's called hypocrisy.

...with the "thug" ads?

I don't know, TG. I live on the west coast. The ads sound great though.
