Let's Google-bomb Sinclair into submission
(cross-posted at DKos)
I was thinking of ways to heighten public awareness of Sinclair Broadcast Group's use of a shell corporation, Cunningham Broadcasting, to evade FCC ownership rules and operate six duopolies where it legally can't have them. Then it hit me--a Google bomb!
To summarize, Cunningham's six television stations all have local marketing agreements with Sinclair Broadcast Group stations in their markets. Sinclair Broadcast Group handles all the Cunningham stations' operations. It also buys the entire broadcast day on Cunningham's stations. However, nearly all of Cunningham's stock is controlled by the Smith family, founders of Sinclair Broadcast Group. It legally can't operate duopolies in Cunningham's markets for various reasons that I mention here and here.
Most people don't know about Sinclair and Cunningham being in bed with each other. Times like this call for a Google bomb.
It's simple. Whereever you talk about Sinclair Broadcast Group--especially if you have a Web site--put a link to a Wikipedia article that yours truly wrote on Cunningham. Voila--we've stuck it to Sinclair Broadcast Group.
As I've previously mentioned, I'm trying to do what I can to keep Charlotte's Fox station, WCCB, from being bought by Sinclair Broadcast Group should it go on the market. This should help by putting Cunningham in the public consciousness.







Very Good Idea CD!!!
Didn't know this could be done, what a perfect way to set the record straight!
Glad to have you as part of the bluenc family!
It appears...
that even without a BlueNC Google-bomb, Sinclair Broadcasting Group has a pretty bad rap through-out the internets...
