SINCLAIR IS SHOWING THAT CRAP RIGHT NOW!!!!
I'm in Tallahassee and I turned on NBC just now. They're showing Stolen Honor. I thought they weren't supposed to be showing it. It's total bullshit and you better believe I'm fucking calling them right now. I had to come here first though to vent before I get them on the phone.

1. Don't get mad, get even
Write a letter of protest to the FEC. Write another to the FCC. Write another to the network. Write others to their sponsors. I'm talking snail mail here, which has about ten times the impact of email.

Remember this, and when their license comes up for renewal, be prepared to do some legwork. Print out petitions to get their license to broadcast revoked and get signatures.

That extends to everyone who is unfortunate enough to have a Sinclair affiliate in their area.

7. yes indeed
It is the whole thing and the tone is EXACTLY the same as the swift boat ads. I just called the local affiliate and told them (1) I was disgusted, (2) I would be boycotting all their sponsors and (3) I would never watch their station again.

3. Don't worry too much. The people who care are in Chruch!
This is Sunday Morning! The people who care about watching this junk are still in church. They don't get home until about 1 or 1:30PM.

8. To take a chance like this with your license shows just how desperate
they really are. This is full panic mode. I am going to canvass all afternoon. Just GOTV. With a lot of hard work we will win convincingly. The question has always been what wouldn't they do so nothing is a real surprise.

12. Here it is
(850) 893-4140

The funny thing about it to is that when you call, it's the number for the NBC AND the ABC affiliate. Isn't there some sort of rule that you aren't supposed to have two stations in the same market? Here's the website:

9. This is their last gasp attempt to help their 'Master' .
Edited on Sun Oct-31-04 10:53 AM by Delightful
When they backed down before and only showed parts of this propaganda , they still thought they were going to win . Now , even they cannot delude themselves anymore , Kerry is going to win .

'Kerry in a landslide '. Yeah baby .

10. I honestly believe
no one cares anymore. It's all crap.

I've pretty much decided to keep the TV off for the next two days. IT's much nicer in here. :-)

15. these shows are likely to be "paid advertising", like infomercials....
anyone with cash can sponsor such a showing. not necessarily some kind of sinclair plot.

PS - still, the sinclair boycott should continue

16. That may have been what it was
But I had to tune out at the end. It was too sickening. I don't know if it was a paid ad or not.

19. Last commercial break
It's off now; they ran it commercial free. Now Meet the Press is on but during the last commercial break the advertisers were Schwab and IBM.
