Where Will You Do Your Holiday Shopping/Politicking

Starting Static On T.V.
The L.A. Times reports that a coalition of liberal political groups (including MoveOn.org) launched a nationwide protest against Sinclair Broadcast Group yesterday, charging that the 62-station TV broadcaster, which was also the target of intense criticism during the presidential campaign, is misusing public airwaves with partisan news programming.
Today Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc. commentator Mark Hyman responded by saying, “As soon as MoveOn.org allows me to use their e-mail lists and post to their Web site, maybe then we will have a conversation.” MoveOn is sure to respond with arguments outlining the differences between public and private broadcasting using words such as “responsibility” and “fair”. Sinclair will then respond, also outlining the differences between public and private broadcasting using words such as “choice” and “freedom.”
The anti-Sinclair campaign is run through SinclairAction.com.
