Here’s the Message,

Dear Sinclair TV advertiser,
I am writing to you to ask that you request that Sinclair advertising stop airing it’s biased, divisive advertising of their political views during their news segment called “The Point.” This is not news, it is angry propaganda, meant to confuse viewers with erroneous arguments against liberal ideas. This is big business brainwashing working people into believing their hype, and it does not belong in an honest news show. Tell Sinclair to stop doing “The Point.” Thank you,

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(This is the MoveON letter)
Dear MoveOn member,
Before the election, we stopped Sinclair Broadcasting from airing an anti-Kerry hit piece. But Sinclair continues to interject partisan bias into local evening news reaching 1 in 4 homes. Every night, Sinclair vice president Mark Hyman broadcasts a conservative rant -- called "The Point" -- which most of Sinclair's 62 stations are required to air during their local news. "The Point" predictably attacks Democrats and progressives while praising George Bush. No counterpoint is offered. This is an abuse of the public airwaves.

Our friends at Media Matters for America are spearheading a campaign to demand balance on Sinclair's evening news by telling Sinclair's advertisers about the partisanship they're supporting. Can you contact Sinclair's local and national advertisers?

You can tell advertisers how Sinclair's "The Point" interjects partisan commentary into the evening news program they sponsor, reflecting poorly on their product. We are not suggesting a boycott of these advertisers. Rather, we are hoping these advertisers, as good corporate citizens, will persuade Sinclair to include a counterpoint. In the last month, "The Point" has included partisan commentary like: ·
"Religion, particularly Christianity, has been under attack by the left for several years." (11/18/04) ·
" ridicule what red-staters see as moral values and in their arrogant and superior way, the Angry Left substitute their own topics they claim to represent real moral values: unjust war, tax relief and indifference to the environment." (11/23/04) ·
"Mainstream America will not vote for a party run by Hollywood liberals, greedy trial lawyers and clueless academia." (11/15/04) ·
