Josh Marshall got a letter that says this, among other things:

"....What they're deathly afraid of is the stink of this thing will somehow waft over to their advertisers. That's of course why they're not selling local ad time for this show. Having worked in the ad department of Sinclair's competitor, I know that local Sinclair stations make over 60% of their ad revenue from their nightly 6pm newscast. That's their bread and butter. You make a concerted effort to go after their top advertisers on the 5pm/6pm news hour and you'll have the executives spiking this show so fast it'll be amazing."

This is what we have to find out. Does anyone know how to find out who these advertisers are?? And is there some way we can integrate this with the boycottsbg.com database?
