One of the Sinclair advertisers, Play it Again Sports,

[Lefta Dissenter]

in Madison WI said that they wouldn't be changing their decision to advertise with Fox47 whether they get 5 phone calls or 500. It would be nice to put that to the test!

The store number (with guy who was rude to me) [phone]. He finally gave me the number for the owner of the store - that would be Bob at [phone]. I only got his voicemail.

1. Here is another site with advertisers on it

But read top paragraph titled 'NOTE'
Some are getting threatening calls and emails, not from us, I know, but it can still reflect badly.

5. I'm not sure why you think I was rude,

just because the guy I talked to was. :shrug: My calls and letters mostly address the issue of patriotism and protecting our democracy.

Yes, the list I've been using is from that site - plus a few companies I've added from forcing myself to watch the station for a few minutes. It just would be nice for them to hear from more than the five people he said have called.

11. No, I didn't mean to imply you were rude...not at all.

n/t

6. Those are from paid staffers of the RNC

Just like the early emails to the NYT were from paid staffers of the RNC.

What do you want to bet? They are trying to derail the boycotts.

12. Oh dear, did I copy something from the RNC?

I didn't mean to.

2. Liberal-friendly (or unfriendly) businesses

Are there any websites or books that list companies that lean left (or right)?

[siliconefreak]

4. !

Carla - you read my mind. We both posted at the same time!

3. Boycott other Play it Again Sports...

They'll put pressure on his store.

7. Play It Again Sports is a franchise biz.

Each owner pays a large chunk-O-change for the franchise name and corporate support.

If the owner doesn't know what his workers are doing (alienating customers), he could lose his entire investment. Let's be sure we contact the owners of these businesses and not just take the word of the hired help.

8. BE GENTLE WITH THIS DUDE, READ PLEASE

and let me tell you why. just called and he talked for ten minutes with me. wanted to know what was up. told him what movie was, what sinclair was doing, fascism, murdoch, saudi owning cnn..........he says, i am PRO KERRY

we dont want to do this.

so this person gets it. and they are looking into sinclair and have lawyers in it. also they put a huge chunk of change in it

he was nice

9. You couldn't have talked to the same person I did

so I'm glad that SOMEBODY there is willing to talk.

The guy I talked to didn't let me get any farther than "I understand you advertise on Fox47," before he started in on me, saying that they make a lot of money advertising on Fox, and they're not going to stop. :( Of all the companies I've called, he's the only one who has been unpleasant.

10. More like don't ever play it again sports.
