Doc Refrains ACTION NEEDED ALERT

(from the L.A. Times)

"NEW YORK — The conservative-leaning Sinclair Broadcast Group, whose television outlets reach nearly a quarter of the nation's homes with TV, is ordering its stations to preempt regular programming just days before the Nov. 2 election to air a film that attacks Sen. John F. Kerry's activism against the Vietnam War, network and station executives familiarwith the plan said Friday.

Sinclair's programming plan, communicated to executives in recent days and coming in the thick of a close and intense presidential race, is highly unusual even in a political season that has been marked by media controversies."

This is utter bullshit and pandering of the worst sort. If you'd like to let these neo-con bastards know exactly what you think, here's the info:

For the love of all that's holy, please be polite when you contact these people. But be insistent, and demand answers to your questions. Write your local newspapers, do whatever you have to do, but this cannon stand UNLESS they're willing to offer equal time and run "Going Upriver" in counterbalance.

Spread this around. Post it wherever you have to, but this cannot stand. This is bald faced pandering to the neo-cons and I will not stand for it.

Radio N - Okay, kiddies

Time to rock this mutha. You know the drill by now on where to come say hi on IRC - if not, check my posts from last night - and as always I'll be on AIM as well.

So let's do this.

A decision is reached

I've finally created an entirely separate blog for my political stuff at http://docwebster.blogspot.com . From now on, all my political posts will be there with the occasional repost here for all you goits too lazy to go over there. ;)

But I'll notify of posts there with links here, so it won't be too bad. I've got a couple entries there already, but if you know my political leanings I'd advise you not to go look if you're a fan of George Dubya. If you are and you go, take it as read my more venomous posts there are to be taken as nothing more than spleen venting and letting off steam.
