As much discussion as we always have here, I think this is the first time I've seen somebody actually try to push a specific agenda on the forum.

Not sure I'm very fond of that, regardless of the side...

No, not the first time and not the last.
The election is 15 days away.

Do do do do, weeeeeee.

The link worked yesterday. Today it is *poof* gone.

Closing the thread.

The link is a dud and I agree - it's more pushing than informing.

What would be more appropriate is a thread discussing the underlying issue of Sinclair pushing the program and how it should be treated by the FCC, FEC and if that means that any station running it should be forced to run counter-programming.

If an activist link happens to come up within the overall discussion, then fine, but the focus of the discussion should be the underlying issues.
