Stop Sinclair!---again. It seems like forever ago, but in 2004 advocacy groups across the country (and fledgling activists like yours truly) created websites, call-ins and ad space to stop Sinclair Broadcasting Group from airing Stolen Honor, a movie smearing Kerry right before the election. It worked. A small victory in an otherwise disappointing year.

One of the key players in the victory, StopSinclair.org, (now StartChange) is dusting off their site to protest the merging of The WB and UPN networks into the mega-network The CW. Less because they're concerned about Gilmore Girls taking away fans from Veronica Mars, but more because Sinclair Broadcasting Group would have a larger audience if they are selected to be affiliates for the new CW network. Given their track record of distorting news, this is a bad idea.

Visit their site to send an email to The CW directly and urge them to do business elsewhere.
