[Cherchez la Femme]

I signed the petition long ago, so I got my roommate to sign it -- she got the same thing.
I'll see if I can dig up any info on the current status of the petition.


This petition dates back 4 years ago to Sinclair running that hit-job movie on Kerry shortly before the election;
who could forget THAT fuss?

It would be a terrific shame to just let that petition die. Although I eschew Wikipedia in the main, it does have some decent info on them (even so, there is a highly questionable passage in there regarding a 'fair broadcast' of the John Kerry movie). This Wiki article has some really good links, one to a GQ article

that lays much of their sordid story out and it sure ain't no puff piece! Highly recommended if you get a few minutes to read it -- it's 8 pages in length, but they're short pages; and as I said, chock-full of info that can only help us. It also seems to have the full list of all their stations and in what markets.

For instance in that article they succinctly but thoroughly report on one of the oh-so-moral, "Family Values" Sinclair bros. as a guy who started his business career selling bootleg porno on the street, graduating into a bona fide, Grade A "whoremaster" who is addicted to strip clubs and prostitutes and who only trusts the buddies who accompany him to these dens of Republicon virtue.

...which truly may be closer to 'conventional wisdom's' truth in that he's not a punter for rent boys or cruising a panoply of Glory Holes inside squalid, random Interstate Men's Rooms.
--no offense brothers, I'm not dissing homosexuality, witness my icon ...just commenting on what appears to be the Republican "choice" of gender for sexual partners (if they say homosexuality is a choice, then that should be their descriptor -- they CHOSE to be that way, no? THEY did, the Devil didn't make them do it, either.)
