I have a theory about young men and Sinclair Broadcasting
I noticed that some of the pollsters are claiming that young urban low-income men are supporting chimpy. This doesn't sound reasonable, but I've also noticed that many young teens, according to my son in public middle school, support chimpy because they believe really bizarre things about Kerry.

Then I mentioned to my teen sons that we would be boycotting Sinclair Broadcasting Group's channels in our area, and I found out that my kids watch SBG all the time! They carry the stupid pro wrestling and other shows male teens like to watch. Then I started thinking about "The Point" and the incredibly bizarre right-wing blather that SBG televises in between episodes of the Simpsons and wrestling and I started to see a connection....

All the more reason to get rid of SBG once and for all. Back to writing letters to sponsors....

2. most SBG stations
are either Fox or WB affiliates and play on the emotions and base instincts of the audience. That lays the ground work for planting the seeds of self destructive beliefs. I hope we can shut them down or at least limit there influence. SBG has been developed with the goal of influencing the political thought in the country. The other broadcasters are guilty as well, if only for operating in there own interest.
