Seems to me a better tact would be a mass email campaign to
companies that support treason by advertising in the Slimes.

Yes, definitely! AND, we need to also add the administration on the mass email campaign, demanding they go after the leaker.

Going after the NYTimes advertisers is a waste of effort.

The NYTimes is not controlled by its shareholders, nor by the profit motive. There are two classes of voting stock. The Sulzberger family controls 91% of the Class B stock that controls the NYTimes. From (a good read) BusinessWeek Online: The Future Of The New York Times (JANUARY 17, 2005):

Like other Old Media families, the Sulzbergers have been able to maintain unquestioned control of their company by creating a new class of voting stock and reserving most of it for themselves. Among them, the various branches of the Sulzberger family control 91% of the Class B voting shares.

A month ago, I heard news of a shareholder revolt, but haven't noticed anything of it since. See further: New York Post Online: SHORT TIMES-ERS TRADERS BOOST BETS ON FALLING SHARES (May 5, 2006).
