Channel 7 Boycott

Of all the media outlets, Channel 7 has been the most egregious lately in half-assed anti-police reporting. Chuck Goudie's piece was merely the peak of a recent wave of crap they've been dishing out. They continued their downhill slide on Thursday with their harebrained insistence that merely "hundreds" of police officers had showed up to picket, while every other media outlet accurately cited "thousands" and the FOP released figures of 3,600.

This was a big deal and Channel 7 managed to just about not report any of it by their evening newscasts and inaccurately reported the "NoGamesChicago" protest while showing the police march, which is just plain sloppy.

The following is a list of sponsors who bought ads during the 01 April 09 newscast that included Chuck Goudie's thinly disguised hit job that was almost certainly put together at the behest of the mayor and his cronies to try to make the police look bad:
Disney doesn't seem to have an easily locatable complaint form, but they own ABC Broadcasting. They also let the indicted former governor vacation down there this past week, so they suck on many levels. It's their station, so you'd be talking to a brick wall anyway.

Most of the links above are directed toward the company's "Contact Us" pages. You might have to do a little searching to find the Complaint page or phone number. Be polite. Explain that ABC 7 has joined in a battle over a contract on the side of a corrupt political organization and you'll be looking to take your increasingly scarce dollars elsewhere.

We realize everyone isn't going to switch to Dominicks. And coppers aren't going to quit going to Dunkin Donuts. But most of the other companies have viable competitors who would welcome your money in these trying times.
