As someone commented on another thread, see who is sponsoring their weather segment and call them to say you're boycotting their products until they pull out of Sinclair. Fuck them.

This. Targeting their revenue is the only thing they will pay attention to.

I'm not even sure they care about revenue. Clearly propaganda is just as much of a priority for them, maybe even more.

If you see their products in stores, steal or sabotage them.

Make stores reluctant to carry their shit. Make this hurt long term.

I wish there was some sort of movement where consumers who give a shit about democracy could band together and boycott various companies. So when a company pulls some shit like this there's an immediate effect on their bottom line and they can be held to account.

Could take it further and have some sort of central fund that would also allow compensation to people who would need to buy a more expensive alternative that people could donate to (maybe a little far fetched). People can't be tracking every day what company bends the knee.

problem is it's very fuzzy. there is no black and white cutoff between "boycott" and "no boycott". Every company has done something shitty at some point, so you'd need a constaantly updating sliding scale. But then how would you weigh unrelated issues like privacy, environment, antitrust, freedom of speech, etc? Every person is going to feel more strongly about one thing compared to another.
