Media Matters acknowledges Staples

[davidwparker]

I received this email today from Media Matters distribution list.

Dear Friends,


Media Matters for America is pleased to announce that Staples, Inc., the world's leading seller of office products, has not renewed advertising on all local Sinclair Broadcasting stations nationwide. Staples, Inc. attributed its decision in part to the response the company received from customers visiting the SinclairAction.com website.


We want to thank all our supporters for contacting Staples, Inc. and other Sinclair Broadcasting advertisers across the country - in voicing your concerns regarding Sinclair's nightly "news and commentary" segment titled "The Point," you have sent a clear message to Sinclair that one-sided, conservative rhetoric does not make for good business.


We continue to believe that the fairest course of action for Sinclair is to provide fair and balanced coverage of the news. Please take a moment today and visit www.SinclairAction.com to register your concerns directly with corporations that continue to advertise on Sinclair's stations. As a result of your actions already, you will see Staples, Inc. has been crossed off the list of Sinclair advertisers.


Thank you for your continued support.


Sincerely,


<snip>

2. Well.....

... Staples is a decent store and I do a fair amount of business at office supply joints.

I think I'll move Staples ahead of Office Max and Office Depot when I need to buy something, as an affirmative action :)

3. Hopefully they carry the tax filing computer programs

Usually I pick ours up at BestBuy. Guess I'll stop at Staples and check it out.

Yay Staples!
