#CNNBlackmail Form Letter

This is a general form letter to use against CNN's advertisers. I'll follow this post with a list of companies that advertise on CNN. I don't have all of their contact emails handy, just yet, but I'll be compiling the later tonight. Until then, seek the "Contact" page on these company's websites and the email address should be there. If I haven't posted the list of email addresses yet when you send an email, please DM me the address to save me the time of finding it.

Thanks guys!!


Hello,

I am writing in regards to {COMPANY_NAME}'s advertisements on CNN. As you may or may not know, CNN recently became entrenched in a scandal, where they sought out personal information on, and identified a citizen that posted content critical of the network online. They then demanded an apology, and a promise to cease criticism of them or they would publically disclose the man's identity. This is coersion, this is blackmail, it is almost certainly illegal, and definitely immoral.

I will not purchase a single {PRODUCT_AND/OR_SERVICE} from {COMPANY_NAME} as long as your advertisements are running on CNN. This is not an attack on you at {COMPANY_NAME}. I love {COMPANY'S_PRODUCT_AND/OR_SERVICE}. I have been, and hope to continue to be, a regular customer of yours. However, I will not allow a single cent of my hard earned money to fund these bullies at CNN. Cable news is not a hill to die on. There are much better options available for advertising. I will be communicating this to my family, friends, and online communities. Encouraging them to join me, and to spread this message to their family, friends, and online communities.

This boycott is effective immediately and will continue until the advertising relationship between {COMPANY_NAME} and CNN comes to a close.

I hope to hear back soon that your affiliation with CNN has ended.

Regards,
{YOUR_NAME}
