Take Back the Media to BOYCOTT Sinclair - demand License REVOKED
They are baiting and switching their show tonight - it's rigtht there in their answer to McCain's letter --

We've updated our BOYCOTT Sinclair page with this latest news:

http://www.takebackthemedia.com/boycottsinclair.html

BAIT AND SWITCH by Sinclair!

It's right here in this quote where they answered McCain's letter:

"Sinclair's news coverage during the last year has reported on all aspects of the war in Iraq, including the tragic loss of lives of military combatants.

--->>In fact, we will be replacing "Nightline" this evening with a balanced report addressing both sides of this controversy.<----

It is worth noting that "Nightline" and its host, Ted Koppel, have ignored repeated requests from Sinclair to comment on their decision regarding the content of tonight's program."

URGE OTHERS TO NOT WATCH THIS OTHER SHOW - if they do, please have them make a list of Advertisers and send them to Take Back the Media - we will get a Boycott list together, check back and see how you can help in this campaign.

FOR ONE : We DEMAND that Sinclair's Broadcasting License be REVOKED and returned to WE the PEOPLE who actually OWN IT.

AND WE WILL BOYCOTT them..

this isn't over.

Bring us the advertisers, we'll do the rest, with your help..

3. TAke Back The Media - I didn't know you existed. You have to be more
vocal on here.

I'm with you.

Make a form letter and give us the e mail of the FCC to send to Powell so that we can all get on his back.

5. I have long proposed the boycot
of entire networks like Fox by all people of conscience including any democratic guest that stooped to appear on their right wing shows.

Let those fascist media networks entertain themselves without the input of intelligence.

Let them drown by their own weight.
