NEW YORK — A coalition of liberal political groups is launching a nationwide protest against Sinclair Broadcast Group, charging that the TV broadcaster, which was also the target of intense criticism during the presidential campaign, is misusing public airwaves with partisan news programming.
The groups, led by Media Matters for America, today will announce a campaign to pressure Sinclair's advertisers with letters. The groups, however, are stopping short of demanding an advertiser boycott.
The campaign is one of the first broad attempts to re-energize liberal political activists in the wake of the Democrats' defeat in November.

Hanoi Kerry is behind the attack.
His lackey said Sinclair would pay.
Now they are.
WAKE UP MAIN STREAM RIGHT WING MEDIA
Don't be like the silent majority in the 60's and 70's
and turn your back on America and cave in to the anti war minority.
Speak up for America today!
Kerry was an illegal candidate
and is an illegal US Senator per
US Constitution 14th Amendment Section 3

So what...they aren't going to watch Sinclair TV channels? Do boycotts usually work when you hit the advertisers, right? Morons.
Hey, what do you know? Same old pondscum.....
BTW, I disagree with these guys, and if they're trying legal action to shut down Sinclair, that's low. But boycotts are boycotts, and that's a different story. They've got every right to boycott Sinclair.
Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING
BRING IT ON!
The DNC was in collusion with CBS-Viacom to release the forged National Guard memos (remember the request to talk to party chiefs?).
The lamestream media is ready for a bonfire so that the ashes can go in the dustbin of history. Is there a statue of Walter Cronkite that we can tear down someplace?
I purchased a small amount of Sinclair stock a few weeks ago. If thousands of Conservatives do the same, it will send a powerful message. Sinclair is not a large company. It won't take much to have a noticeable effect.
What is it about free speech these groups don't understand? It all sounds like sour grapes to me.
Thanks for the ping!
I have a couple of "D" Heads on the list. Just finished send all of SInclairs Advertisers e-mails, thanking them for their support.
BTTT!!!!!!!
