The LA Times Business section reports that the Staples office supply chain has pulled its advertising from all Sinclair TV news reports, due to Sinclair's "conservative bias." This has been done in response to a small letter writing campaign orchestrated by David Brock's Media Matters group.
How much effort does it take to get a company like Staples to fold its tent? Not much, it seems:
Staples spokesman Davis said the e-mails used "similar language" about the programming and stated that they were sent by a Staples customer.Well, Mr Davis, take this post as a humble, non-orchestrated demand that you also refrain from ad buys on CBS News programming. Not only has CBS's left-wing bias been evident for the entire television era, but they also feel fine about forging documents to help (in collusion with?) a Democrat Presidential candidate -- and then lying about it.
Davis did not specify the number of e-mails Staples had received. But, he said, it was enough that it warranted consideration.
"Certainly, we take the concerns of our customers seriously," Davis said.
