Take some time out of your day, and call them up, tell them you don't approve them them directly supporting oppression of free speech by paying Sinclair and Nexstar for advertising.

Tell them you'll be buying from/supporting their competitors because what they are doing is hurting the country you love.

Make it personal, make it hurt with your dollars, and the best way to do so is to tell them.

Ok so which ones of those companies will actually give a shit? They seem to be mostly evil conglomerates that will only benefit from the silencing of free speech.

None of them care until it starts to effect the bottom line. Even the perception that this may have consequences on quarterly earnings is enough to get these companies to move. Use the quarter to quarter rat race against them.

Google will care if you and your family all start using a custom ROM with MicroG or Graphene and delete your google accounts. If you go for Graphene, buy your Pixel used. Also switching to a Firefox based browser w. StartPage/SearxNG/Mullvad Leta. Ive been starving them of 6 peoples advertising revenue for years, and I'm not the only person doing it.

This also gives you the added benefit of more privacy in your day to day life. One less large corporation tracking your every move.

If I'm ever elected president, Sinclair media is going to be split up and anyone with an ownership stake put through a guillotine

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

How does this guillotine work in order to be 'put through' it? I'm intrigued.

[–] dumbass@aussie.zone 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

The blade is connected to a high speed motor and is rigged up to move up and down fast, so you push them through and it cuts them up into easy to transport chunks.

This is now cannon, a vote for me is a vote for this!

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 2 points 10 months ago

I don't know but I'd very much like to watch

[–] Horsey@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Wtf cascadia lol

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 10 months ago

We are sadly not immune to corporate buyouts.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 4 points 10 months ago

Wow 22 entire households?!

How are they ever going to cope

[–] RFKJrsBrainworm@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

Sinclair is made up of tiny market stations they refuse to put money into and grow...they serve as bullshit propaganda and since they own affiliates across the networks, they can put their shitty Nazi lies on any affiliate Network.

[–] RFKJrsBrainworm@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Wow... I've been a Verizon customer for 24 years... I learned that when I called to let Verizon know if they advertise with Sinclair I will be canceling my account.
