Free Press has set up a page to help you find your local Sinclair-owned TV station in order to contact it and also send a comment to the FCC.
I can get with the canned e-mail they have to send to the FCC:
Sinclair Broadcasting’s decision to force their stations to air an anti-Kerry documentary days before the election is a clear example of the dangers of media consolidation.
Sinclair uses the public airwaves free of charge, and is obligated by law to serve the public interest. But when large companies control the airwaves, we get more of what’s good for the bottom line and less of what we need for our democracy. Instead of something produced at “News Central” far away, it’s more important that we see real people from our own communities and more substantive news about issues that matter.
But I can’t help but think something a little more guerrilla is in order — like hijacking an STL, or sending a bogus press release that looks like it’s from your local Sinclair station, annoucing how they’ve reconsidered and will play a documentary on Che Guevara instead.
