http://forum.johnkerry.com/index.php?showtopic=92822&st=90I just got a call back from Pepsi thanking me for my comments, the man was saying that their ad buys are in local markets, he was polite but non-committal. I politely explained that:
-The local markets are owned and operated by Sinclair nationally; Sinclair was forcing local stations to pre-empt regular progamming to show slander produced by Bush supporters.
- This film has already been discredited by media watch groups.
- I would be just as unhappy if a company that contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democrats planned to show Faranheit 9-11 on the public airwaves in an effort to try to influence the elections.
- The Anti-Defamation League's national director called on a Sinclair executive to repudiate comments they made comparing democrats to Holocaust deniers, and that I didn't feel that this was someone the Pepsi brand should be associated with in any way.
He thanked me for outlining that for him in a nice way and said that he would pass that information along to the local advertisers.
Keep it up, call Pepsi at (800) 433-2652!!!!!!!!!
