Ohio:Protesters plan to picket WSYX, WTTE: Sinclair Stations under Fire
Tim Feran
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Protesters are planning to picket Sinclair Broadcast Group’s 62 television stations — including two in Columbus — in response to plans to air a film highly critical of Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry’s anti-war activities 30 years ago.

The protests, scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, are being organized by Web logs, including www.-boycottsinclair.blogspot-.com and www.stopsinclair.org.
...
Amid the controversy, several companies — including one of WSYX’s biggest advertisers, HER Real Living Realtors — have pulled ads from WSYX because of Sinclair’s decision to air the film.

Sinclair’s stock finished yesterday at $7.29 a share, its lowest level this month.

Don't forget to thank Tim Feran for spreading the news of the planned protest.
