Following up on Yosef 52's excellent diary, have organized a blogsite called Open Letter to ABC to centralize contact info and coordinate strategy to sink this rightwing hacktacular swiftboat. All comments, ideas and suggestions are welcome. Please help.
What needs to be done.
[more after jump]
Email ABC network.
Email local ABC affiliates.
Email national advertisers.
Identify and email local advertisers.
Email early and often. Make sure ABC knows that if they air "Path to 9/11," there will be consequences--long-term consequences--for them, their affiliates and their advertisers.
Be brief. Be clear. Be polite. Be non-threatening. But be numerous.
Then be prepared to back it up with action. By posting and cross-posting across the progressive blogosphere to organize a Tune Out of ABC daytime and prime time shows and ABC advertisers, nationally and locally.
Then be prepared to back it up with action. By posting and cross-posting across the progressive blogosphere to organize just such a Tune Out of ABC daytime and prime time shows and advertisers.
If progressives can convince ABC, its affiliates and its advertisers that this won't simply blow over in a week or two, but will continue to hit companies where it hurts, in the wallet, there's a real chance this travesty can be stopped.
Ideas and suggestions collected on Open Letter to ABC. Please, please help.
