LET'S BURY SINCLAIR

so, i wrote emails to a bunch of madison advertisers on WMSN, the local sinclair affiliate, asking them to pull their advertising in efforts to take a stand against sinclair. i got the idea from this website, which has posted succesful advertising $$ withdrawals in minnesota and ohio, amongst other places.

here's the list of madison advertisers

talking points memo and daily kos has some good stuff on driving sinclair into the ground too. sinclair watch has been tracking their misdeeds for a while now. and al franken has a bunch of ideas and motivation, as well.

here's a link to sen. john mccain's letter to SBG, denouncing their decision to refuse the airing of the episode of "nightline" where ted koppel was reading off names of the fallen in iraq.

many of these links were found off of metafilter

and p.s. look at dubya's "official site"! HI-LARRY-US

I don't know if you've filled out the comment sub form with Menards but I got a very sad response from them this morning:

Aaron,

I am very sorry we let you down. We need and appreciate your business. I
appreciate the heads up and will get on it at once.

Best Regards, Ray

Awesome.

dude, NICE.

i got a reply (a very long 2-page reply) from boulders climbing gym that let me know that they actually have no affiliation with WMSN. they did produce a commercial, but that ended its run back in march, so currently they're giving no money and have no plans to in the future. they were afraid that everyone would boycott them though, so i wrote the guy back and let him know that wouldn't be the case.

he also mentioned that they've received HUNDREDS of emails concerning this incident - which means madison is on the offensive!
