23. IMPORTANT for DUers in Sinclair markets to write to ALL their TV stations
• Write a LETTER, not an e-mail -- it's 10 minutes well-spent!
• Put your feelings in your own words, but make it clear that Sinclair's proposed acts are a violation of the public trust, and you intend to hold them accountable.
• Make a few points, sequentially and clearly.
• When writing to Sinclair, tell them that your letter is to go in their "public file."

A great one-stop resource for research, factual points and contact info is the APJ Home Page -- at the top of the right column, look for "SINCLAIR SMEAR BOAT SCANDAL / STOLEN AIRWAVES" and follow the many links.

4. This is meaningless
The four brothers own 95% and are subsidized by the junta.
They don't care about stockholders or the market.
Red Herring.

I did too. Till I read DU!! Oh the hell we bear!!

Do not pin puppy kicking on ME! Quite the contrary.
I see you meant it in jest, but I take that stuff seriously.

Not to say the other 5% shouldn't SELL IT ALL !!!
Go fer it.

14. Sorry. Doesn't mean anything.
Notice that the volume is extremely low. That 1.6% is random noise.

15. OOPS. Just read the other posts. Yep. Meaningless.
I didn't know they owned 95%. Then they definately don't care much about the stock.

However - IT IS THEIR FREEDOM TO SPEAK OUT AS THEY WANT TO. I may disagree with what they say, but I disagree more profoundly with those here who would attempt to silence them. In silencing them we would ultimately silence outselves too.

16. Lest we forget
They are abusing OUR PUBLIC air waves. They don't own 95% of those.

No, silence no one. Equality for all. Do we have that in this case? I think not.

17. Isn't F/9-11 going to be airing soon?
Edited on Tue Oct-12-04 09:25 AM by Silverhair
The RWs are just as upset about that film as we are about some of their films. If we get to air F911, then they get to air "Stolen Honor".

Also, not that many people pick up their TV from the air anymore. Most people have cable or sat sytems.

Sorry, but the only way to defend our rights is to defend theirs too.

18. Do you have a broadcast schedule for F911?
Edited on Tue Oct-12-04 09:26 AM by drfemoe
Are any stations being forced to broadcast?

Please show proof of these factors.

See what the FEC says while you're at it >>

20. OOPS. Nope. My error. However...
I still go with free speech as a general principle. First Amendement.

MM's contract with his DVD company won't let him air it prior to DVD release. He is trying to get them to let him air it at least once before the election, but they aren't budging. I had mistaken that story. I had misunderstood it and thought that it would air.

22. Free Speech is one
of my favorite Freedoms, also.

However, there are laws to protect the election process. See the link in my previous post.

21. the airwaves are not theirs.
Edited on Tue Oct-12-04 10:10 AM by enki23
they do not have any "rights" with regard to the public airwaves. they are *priviliged* to be able to use them to broadcast their *product.* if they don't live up to their end of the bargain, their privileges can, and should be revoked.

19. By my calculations SBG's stockholders lost about $70000 yesterday.
And they're losing again today. I think a class action suit may soon be in the works.

25. Sounds like a normal flunctuations.
A 5 to 10% dip (depending on the rest of the market that day) is something to get excitede about.

1.6% is just static.

28. Freedom of speech is it?
Then I want MY 65 stations so that *I* can practice my "freedom of speech"..

Here's what I have for them, it's called "Our Media is Broken" and I hope there are enough resources at the end for people to get some action going.

All the links are clickable and will help with this cause, use this please and pass it around, the more people that get it the more damage we can do to those bastards!

Turn up your speakers and let's get the word out with the MEDIA :)

Hope you like, esp you SoCalDem :)
