Sinclair Alert Thread...

[KharmaTrain]

The purpose of this thread is two-fold. First is to set up a place in this media forum where we can track and discuss this incident and network to create effective responses to this and other abuses of the publicly-owned airwaves.

Second, it's for those who see things on their local Sinclair stations to note them so we can start establishing a "paper trail" on this company's business practices and possible violation of FCC and FEC rules. Also, it can be used to enlighten those of us who don't live in a "Sinclair City" as to what's going on so we can coordinate responses.

It's time to start really investigating what's happened to the media and use this dynamic community...the intellectual, creative and voices to learn why things have gotten to where they are and realistic and achievable goals that could lead to a more responsive and balanced media.

Just like Bev Harris has done with BBV...you can see how people working closely together here can enact change and inspire as well.

Cheers!

4. SINCLAIR REPRESENTATION is a MUST

Hello,

Please talk with the right Kerry campaign people to have Senator Kerry represented in full force on Sinclair.

IDEA SUGGESTION:

Max Cleland, the Brothers from the SwiftBoat, Jim Rasmussen, and a General or 2 representing Kerry.

Making repeatedly a solid point;

"Had there been more leaders like John Kerry in Washington in the 60s --There would have been NO VIETNAM."

"While we all are grateful for the services of lost soldiers and POW's suffering--it was because more people like John Kerry didn't speak up."

John Kerry's record for POW/MIA legislation should be stressed as well.

**Please I ask the campaign to not let this go unanswered like the original swiftboats garbage that damaged Kerry.

It will not hurt to reveal the swiftboats reality of their lies while there on Sinclair as well.

There will be little time to counter Sinclair if this goes unrepresented by Kerry people.

IF SINCLAIR BALKS ABOUT LETTING OTHERS REPRESENT HIM--tell the world through the media they are locking out opposition views.

Thank you for taking a moment with my sincere suggestion...
