boycott letter #1

This is the letter I am sending to sponsors of NBC news telling them I will not be purchasing their products while they support irresponsible, opinionated "journalism". Feel free to copy (don't forget to change the name!) I will be adding contact info for each sponsor as I get the addresses.


Dear (News Sponsor):


NBC News habitually substitutes political opinion for "news," misleading the American public with disregard for national well being and our nation's vital need for fair and unbiased reporting.

Your company provides them with ad revenue from your sponsorship. As a concerned and loyal American citizen, I will no longer purchase products advertised on NBC News which supports NBC News providing biased news coverage.

During a time when biases and political agendas are dividing our nation and citizenry, NBC News' partisan coverage attempts to marginalize many consumers with different political views. Recent examples are lack of coverage of tea party protests, and of ACORN’S corrupt actions. NBC News has consistently ignored, dismissed or belittled the ideals of a large number of Americans and has even at times shown outward scorn for differing opinions. This has viewers changing the channel, as evidenced by NBC News steeply declining ratings.

Until NBC News starts factual reporting, and stops promoting their obvious political bias and agenda as “news”, I will not watch NBC News programs and I will not support NBC News sponsors nor purchase NBC News sponsors' products.

When your company discontinues sponsorship and support of NBC News unethical practices, I will consider purchase of your company's products again.

I hope your company will join me in the support and pursuit of a stronger, better America that no longer tolerates or supports persons or corporate entities that purposefully misleads and misinforms the American public for their own gain.


Sincerely,


Name

City, State
