Sinclair website is down. Millions up in arms. The Bushies lie, lie, lie that this is just some kind of biased payback. This is distinctly against the law. The dirty tricksters at Sinclair/Rove say "OK, Kerry himself can come and have equal time to explain himself". Just a bug fat dirty trick. I pray it backfires completely on Bush. The SEC should be tasking away their broadcast license but probably wont because its controlled by Bushies. same reason FERC let the energy gouging go on and on and on.

talkingpointsmemo.com (October 12, 2004 -- 11:50 AM EDT // link // print) A reader gets results... As suggested in a post you have further down, I just called the Cincinatti station's sales mgr. He was really concerned when I read him a list of local adverstisers and said I'd be calling their advertising managers to express my displeasure that they choose to advertise on a Sinclair station. He practically begged me not to, saying "this involves people's livelihoods." And then I did call the local advertisers. So you are correct. Local stations -- SALES MANAGERS and local advertisers AD MANAGERS are the pressure point. Please do what you can to get the word out. You heard the guy ... -- Josh Marshall (October 12, 2004 -- 11:17 AM EDT // link // print) The verbatim quote from Sinclair's Mark Hyman, from this morning on CNN ... However, the accusations coming from Terry McAuliffe and others, is it because they are some elements of this that may reflect poorly on John Kerry? That it's somehow an in-kind contribution of George Bush? If you use that logic and reasoning, that means every car bomb in Iraq would be an in-kind contribution to John Kerry. Weak job performance ratings that came out last month would have been an in- kind contribution to John Kerry. And that's just nonsense. This is news. I can't change the fact that these people decided to come forward today. The networks had this opportunity over a month ago to speak with these people. They chose to suppress them. They chose to ignore them. They are acting like Holocaust deniers, pretending these men don't exist. Reporting unemployment statistics is the same as running free commercials from rabid partisans. See where we're going with this? Pigs ... -- Josh Marshall
