Sinclair Media Alert from the Dixie Chicks!
10/18/04

As musicians, we've had to deal with companies like Clear Channel that have gobbled up over 1200 radio stations, taken over concert venues, and undermined the ability for musicians to connect with their fans. Clear Channel also uses its power to promote a pro-Republican, pro-war agenda.

Now we have a giant television company that is making Clear Channel's antics look like a day at the beach. Last week, Sinclair Broadcast Group — the largest owner of TV stations in the U.S. — ordered its 62 stations to air an anti-Kerry documentary a few days before the election. Their aim is clear: use their monopoly rights to the public airwaves — in clear violation of the spirit of the law — to sway the election in favor of a candidate that staunchly allows media companies to get even bigger.

Sinclair is the Clear Channel of TV, producing news segments at "News Central" in suburban Maryland and forcing local stations to air them as "local news." Great for Sinclair's bottom line...terrible for our democracy.

During the past week there has been a massive backlash, and Sinclair is on the defensive. They are on the ropes and we need you to help us keep them there.

Natalie wore that shirt during the disgusting CMA show 2003. I think they've abandoned the whole CMA now after getting trashed during that show.
