SUCK IT
SINCLAIR
SINCLAIR CAVED! WE’RE CELEBRATING BUT NOT BACKING DOWN.
VICTORY! Sinclair capitulated to the power of the people and followed Disney in putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. It shows the impact of peaceful protest and strategic campaigns that hit corporations in the wallet.
But let's be clear. This isn't over. Sinclair partnered with Trump to silence a late-night comedy host, blatantly lied about what he said, and made ludicrous demands that he apologize and donate to Turning Point USA and Charlie Kirk's family. There’s no reason to trust them going forward.
All of this comes as the newly radicalized FCC is poised to give more latitude to MAGA-owned groups like Sinclair and Nexstar to consolidate power in a media landscape increasingly dominated by hyper-partisan conservatives. This is straight out of the authoritarian playbook.
We're calling for Sinclair to sell KOMO and for Nexstar to abandon their proposed deal that would give them control over KING5. We don't want propagandists and fascist collaborators controlling our media in Seattle.
If Sinclair wants constructive dialogue, as they claim, they can begin by apologizing to Jimmy Kimmel and making a meaningful donation to PBS and the Jimmy Kimmel Live ALS Charity Drive.
Sinclair has been a source of disinformation and pro-Trump talking points for years, and they won’t stop unless we make them. Join us in continuing to protest and ask Seattle businesses to stop supporting KOMO with their ad dollars.

SPEECH
We did it! Sinclair reinstated Kimmel under pressure, but they are still a threat. Sinclair made no admission of wrongdoing nor apologized for the lies they spread. They have been a source of propaganda for years, and we don’t want them in Seattle.

SAMPLE MESSAGE
I recently learned that _______ is running ads on KOMO News, a station owned by Sinclair which participated in the most dangerous assault on the First Amendment in modern American history.
Sinclair lied about Jimmy Kimmel and has a long history of promoting lies and propaganda. There’s no reason to trust them going forward, and I cannot give my money to any organization that supports such radical, un-American activities.
Please respond with your organization’s intentions regarding advertising on KOMO. Until I hear you have ceased supporting Sinclair, I will be taking my business elsewhere.
THESE ADVERTISERS HAVE PAUSED ADS. THANK THEM!
TELL SINCLAIR THEY’RE NOT WANTED IN SEATTLE!
CONTACT NEXSTAR
Nexstar also refused to air Kimmel and plans to buy a group that owns KING5. Let them know we will give them the same treatment we’re giving KOMO.
This list of advertisers is incomplete, but is a good starting point.
