Pepsi-Cola Company reply re: Sinclair Broadcasting

[Imalittleteapot]

Hello!
Thank you for taking the time to contact us at PepsiCo. Accurate and balanced journalism is important to us, and we appreciate your thoughts regarding Sinclair Broadcasting Group's upcoming plans. We have no national advertising buys scheduled with Sinclair Broadcasting, nor do we plan to advertise on the program in question. We will also make our bottlers aware of this situation and share these concerns so they can take them into consideration as they plan their local marketing efforts.

We will follow the resolution of this issue closely. Given your concerns, we also would suggest that you communicate your views directly to Sinclair Broadcasting Group's President and Chief Executive Officer, David D. Smith. He can be contacted at Sinclair Broadcasting Group, 10706 Beaver Dam Road, Hunt Valley, MD 21030, or via email at [email protected]

Again, many thanks for bringing this to our attention. We value your comments, and equally, the constructive spirit in which they are offered.

Looks like contacting the bottlers will be worth the effort.

This is the only reply that I have received from the many emails that I sent to Sinclair advertisers.

2. I actually spoke to them yesterday and they said "we don't

advertise with Sinclair, please tell people to stop calling us." They were incredibly nice and professional.

3. They side steped the issue. It is NOT NEWS and there is no ADVERTISING

By supporting SBG they are supporting their owner's radical right wing adjenda. The proper answer is that until they pull ALL ads from SGB we and all our friends Will buy and drink COKE. FRITO is out too.
Do not fall for the leagalese answer Eye on the prize guys.
