1. Notice the weasel words
They say not in entirety. Not that they aren't going to show it, just not all of it. Maybe cut off some of the credits.

5. Wow...U. S. Cellular says they won't air commercials during the show....
That's meaningful. NOT. Boycott their sponsors particularly PepsiCo/Lays.

6. PLEASE get this Sinclair Flash ad out to as many people as possible
PLEASE Get my flash attack ad out to as many people as possible - it stresses the fact that THEY Would not allow the Nightline program to HONOR the fallen troops -- THIS IS AS IMPORTANT as spamming advertisers..

THIS is what will piss off even freepers.. Regular Americans will be livid if they know Sinclair WON'T support the troops, and DIDN'T BEFORE!

All the links are clickable easy to use and helpful, the more people that get it the more damage we can do to those bastards!

Turn up your speakers and get the word out with MEDIA as well..

Don't forget to WRITE to the Advertisers that have folded and THANK THEM -- when we did our Limbaugh Boycott we found that that is what helps them feel like they did the right thing..

Here's "Our Media is Broken"

Skinner was kind enough to post this flash on the main page but it sort of got chopped due to the debates and DU having to rig for heavy traffic..

7. That boardroom's gotta hurt
The pressure of being in heavy debt and have your stock price,
crashing around your ears, whilst your customers are moved on by
a massive grassroots campaign, plus having lawsuits filed... oh,
its enough to fire an entire boardroom.

Keep up the heat... They're stock should be at 4 dollars per share
by this theoretical broadcast date.

Turn the vice. These asswipes don't realize how pissed off
americans are about having their democracy tampered with.

8. This was discussed on Keith Olberman last night
The way I understood it was this was the plan from the beginning. They may be trying to sugar coat it but I'm not so sure the plan has changed. The guy they fired because he refused to take part in it, his interview last night said they had a meeting where Sinclair told the news guys they wanted it to be an hour long show using clips from the movie to make it look like a news program. He was fired because, as he in so many words said, would not associate NEWS with this made up movie and purposefully deceive the public. So to me, it looks as if they haven't really budged on much of anything.

9. OK, then 2 dollars per share
There is a long chasm between 6 and bankruptcy. When the stock falls
far enough, the debt holders will freak out and take over the company
to save what assets can be salvaged.

Keep up the letters like this:

10. It's doing worse: airing highlights and then attacking Kerry
They are planning to demand he answer to POWs for what he supposedly said.
