DU'ERS SUPPORT Micheal Moore he has challenged Sincliar
Edited on Thu Oct-21-04 11:55 AM by AIndependentTexan
Michael Moore on Jay Leno. Moore says InDemand has backed out of the contract even though the FCC has allowed Sinclair Broadcasting to show their "anti Kerry" movie on their 63 stations.

Moore made a live "challenge" to Sinclair Broadcasting. He will give them use of his movie F911. IF Sinclair is unbiased they would take him up on the offer.

3. can't we use this though to attack Sincliar?

After all if they are claiming fair and balance as the reason for their news event doesn't this conflict their response to every network? This goes straight to the fair and balanced issue. Come on Du'ers at least react. This is Moore here are we just going to let him down?

5. Sinclair Broadcasting doesn't
give a rat's ass about anything other than trying to destroy the character of a decent veteran who came clean and protested an insane war that should never have happened.

I continue to write letters and call, will boycott all advertisers, it is easy to do those things.

SBS is in almost every mutual fund - this is more of a problem when you are taking a strong stand on a company with so much power, especially if a family member is a broker no longer willing to invest in those funds.

6. This is why we need to support all the people going against Sincliar
I don't have a link but I recieved word that someone tried to buy air time to show Going Up River. Can any DU'ers find out if this is true or not? Because if it is I believe we have a case against them big time!

7. Michael Moore is light years beyond Sinclair in how to Market a
product.

Video stores that want to participate are charging Zero $ to customers who want to see F9\11 starting Oct 26.



Mean while Sinclair's stock is sinking like a stone it has lost over
$90 Million in value in the past 10 days & continues its downward spiral.

They will be sued by their stock holders & their reputation as a legit company in the media industry is now Shit.

Like many here at DU I have expressed my concerns to their advertisers
hit them where it hurts. Then when they come up for air with a BS story about changing the Mockumentary Hit them again & again.

When their stock reaches $1.25 a share we should inundate Billionaire George Soros with requests to buy them out.

11. Hi & Welcome to DU. It is a great idea not mine but I know a good
one when I see it.

It won't be long until you're hopelessly addicted to this wonderful place.

9. i agree...
keep up with the boycott, that's the way to hurt sinclair. contact advertisers every day, over and over until they realize that we are not going to go away. use moore's offer to PROVE that sinclair is a biased piece of crap when you call or email.

i'm packing up my general mills crap today and sending it back to them. and i'll do the same to all other companies that refuse to respond to the cause.

rant off/

10. It's an empty offer
Sinclair would never allow that, for many reasons (mostly because F9/11 obliterates Bush)

Sinclair's new "tack" on airing this documentary is to talk about documentaries and their undue influence on elections. It may have been a red-flag operation designed to attack Moore and F9/11 in the first place.
