Sinclair pulling "bait and switch" to show "FAIR" program instead..

They plan on SWITCHING (since NOW they have so many people's attention - folks will be going to see if the Nightline is on).. to a FAIR and Balanced show involving this subject.. (sound familiar? FOX) --

SO our advice at Take Back the Media.com is..

DON'T WATCH!! They are NOW in it for the RATINGS generated by their own CENSORSHIP.. they just love tricking folks don't they? The White HOuse, ROve, all of them...

they've taken something precious, (deaths that THEY ARE COMPLICIT IN) our own troops and turned it into a Ratings SCAM..

Obversely, Should we all tune in to see if Nightline is on and then TUNE OUT? Or would that register on the ratings meters?

In any case I WON'T BE WATCHING - screw these bastards..

If you DO watch, make a note of their ADVERTISERS shown and we will HAMMER THEN WITH A BOYCOTT..

Ideas?

1. I did not see that info in your link?

Where did you hear that they are running something different than the nightline show and waht exactly are they running.

3. RIght there in Sinclairs

response to Senator McCain's letter to them..

"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.

Interesting that they didn't post McCain's letter!

It's a bait and switch..

COMPLAIN TO YOUR SENATORS, to Congress.. it's time to demand that Sinclair's BROADCASTING LICENSE be Pulled!

2. thanks for the heads up

i'll be taking notes on ads in wv

also, just so you know, the local abc affiliate here wants to air nightline, but sinclair won't let them. the loc magers are on our side (I have 2 friends at the station)

just so we know who to lay blame on

4. thanks..

I may TIVO this so I don't miss a single advertiser..

then we'll create a letter to send to each of them and take them DOWN..

this isn't over.

We'll give them the Limbaugh treatment.

5. If you have a Sinclair ABC affiliate in your area

....call them and chew them out. Really.

The Tallahassee affiliate caved to pressure and will air Nightline. Sinclair's other 7 ABC stations won't as yet.

These cowards will cave. Just keep up the pressure.

7. List of areas with Sinclair owned ABC affiliates

Springfield, Mass 413-733-4040

Charleston, WV 304-757-0011

Asheville, NC 828-684-1340

Columbus, OH 614-481-6621

St Louis, MO 314-436-3030

Pensacola, FL 850-438-3533

Penasacola and Winston-Salem are probably lost causes, but try anyway. Their attitude is shameful.
