tv party tonight
Regardless of how strongly you may or may not feel about the Kerry-Edwards ticket, what Sinclair Broadcasting is proposing (you can find all the gory details here) is beyond reprehensible. What this is is propaganda.
People generally confuse propaganda with sloganeering or boosterism or partisan politicking, but in actuality, propaganda isn't propaganda unless it's part of a system: A system that begins by being cooked up by skilled technicians, packaged by salespeople, and distributed. That last bit's key - it needs a system of delivery.
USA Today, surprisingly enough, has a piece on what just might be in this whole thing for Sinclair. Below are phone numbers for Sinclair Affiliates in those states that will likely see broadcast. According to a post on Talkingpointsmemo.com, affiliate station personnel aren't exactly falling in line on this either, so maybe a firm/polite phone call or two might make a world of difference in who comes out on top in this cheap hustle.
