We have Media Blaster . . .how about a Sponsor Blaster

When we see blatent media bias on polls, iraq, * or Kerry, we blast the sponsor that advertised immediately after the faulty media - 500 emails, letters or calls to GAP, Target, or Chevy couldn't hurt.

posts to ALSO put who the sponsors were during the commercials. As a habit.

Let's see if we can make this workable.

There are a lot of companies that fuel the wingnut machine and visa versa. Many do it stealthly, but knowingly...and when you shine a light, they run like rats into their holes and back off a bit.

This is a large task. You have major institutions like banks and multi-national corporations that do all the heavy funding (and are very transparent), then the major national corporations and their affiliated brands that we get bombarded with. The tricky part there is connecting the dots...knowing Phillip-Morris is a big GOOP contributor and knowing all the products they manufacture. Then there's the local supporters...the guys in your area who advertise on hate radio or the newspaper. These people want your dollar, and many get it without you knowing what they spend it on. Shine light here and you get some very interesting results.
