MEDIA ADVISORY
StopSinclair.org to Protest at White House Friday
Delivers $9 million check from Sinclair to Bush, along with 150,000 signatures demanding halt of program
Sinclair Broadcast Constitutes Illegal In-Kind Contribution to Bush Campaign
WHO: StopSinclair.org, a Running For Change Political Action Committee campaign, leads both the online and grassroots charge against Sinclair Broadcasting Group. Joining forces with America Coming Together and democratic blogs, they are protesting Sinclair’s actions and making their position known to President Bush, Sinclair and its advertisers.
WHAT: StopSinclair.org supporters will protest Sinclair’s revised attack ad format: A POW Story: Politics, Pressure and the Media, due to air Friday evening, by delivering to the White House 150,000 signatures demanding the halt of the hour-long attack ad along with a check symbolizing the $9,900,000 illegal in-kind contribution Sinclair is effectively making to the Bush campaign.
WHEN: 12:00 PM, Friday, October 22, 2004
WHERE: Lafayette Park at Intersection of 16th and H Street
WHY: Despite altering the program’s format, Sinclair Broadcasting’s decision to air excerpts from Stolen Honor, an anti-Kerry piece funded by conservative activists, during an hour-long so-called “news” segment entitled A POW Story: Politics, Pressure and the Media is a partisan exploitation of public airwaves. StopSinclair.org is calling attention to the fact that Sinclair Broadcasting is directly contributing $9,900,000 to the Bush campaign by airing this Anti-Kerry advertisement.
You can also attend a protest at your local affiliate. Protests scheduled for 8pm.
