Sinclair Broadcasting, What Bastards!
These people are broadcasting a probably completely slanderous account of John Kerry's Vietnam service coming up soon. The Dems are very upset (with good reason), and of course the evil bastards in charge are smiling. If you want to take action and tell Sinclair and their advertisers that this shit is whack, then follow Josh Marshall's advice:
From TPMNow, this site might be of help for identifying who's who at various stations. But let's be very clear: contacting a given affiliate's sales manager and telling them of your displeasure is very much of secondary importance.
Local Sinclair reps are suggesting that callers call their corporate HQ. But, believe me, don't waste your time.
The key is to identify their local advertisers and contact them. You can find information out here or, if you're in a Sinclair market, just watch the evening news show and mark down who the advertisers are. Then contact them directly -- and if possible, place a call. Or better yet, send an old-fashioned paper letter. Actually, scratch that, do both.
