What advertisers are sponsoring the ABC farce? |
|
Does anyone know how to find out who the sponsors are?
Contacting the sponsors and vowing to boycott their products is the key to keeping this Goebbels-like propaganda off the airwaves.

1. Wasn't it being run "without commercial interruptions?" |
|
(In order to give it a patina of truthiness, I guess.)

8. I guess the would-be sponsors are too scared |
|
of our collective wrath.
In that case I'd like to know who is financing this garbage, because obviously someone is paying for it. Because whoever it is, they are going to hear it from me.
:grr:

14. "Commercial free" does not equal "sponsor free". |
|
Programming on PBS has sponsors, yet no commercial breaks. I'd guess there'd be a sponsored by announcement at the beginning of the shows(if they air).

7. Hey, when the mob, err, neocon junta tells ya ta do sumtin'... |
|
It's not like the corporations that own media haven't made enough dough thanks to the neocon puppets. They can spare a few hours.
And it's prolly tax deductable.

9. I think they are considering it |
|
their political donation to the GOP.
Actually maybe sponsors don't want to get involved with this mess, they could have refused.

11. As I posted in another thread... |
|
It doesn't matter. Go after the sponsors of other ABC programming. They will get the message loud and clear. I think ABC is presenting it commercial free just so there couldn't be a boycott.
Let's show them we can beat them at their silly game.

12. My understanding is that they plan to have "minimum" |
|
advertising that will not interrupt the program. I have heard a few sponsors mentioned: Papa John's Pizza, Petmed, Burger King.
