Discovery Channel is giving a
nature show to Sarah Palin, and paying her more than
$1 million per episode. Yes, Sarah "Drill, Baby, Drill" Palin. They're actually going to air it on
The Learning Channel, of all places.
And if you visit Disneyland or buy a Mickey Mouse watch, you may be be paying for it, unless you take action now.
Disney is a long-time advertiser on The Learning Channel, and unless the company specifically demands that its ads not be shown during this Palin show, that ad revenue may be funding this monstrosity.
We can stop this. Disney is very sensitive to customer feedback, and has done the right thing in the past when challenged. Write Disney today, and demand it not support this show.
Look, it's one thing if Fox News gives Sarah Palin a platform. But when Discovery Communications - home to the Discovery Channel, the "Planet Earth" series, the Science Channel, Animal Planet, and TreeHugger.com - gives a show to Sarah Palin, it undercuts everything the Discovery brand has come to represent. This show will allow Sarah Palin to greenwash her horrible environmental record, and earn millions in the process.
Advertisers respond to pressure. Even ones as big as Disney. If we can show Disney that enough people are appalled by this show, and would be equally appalled by those who support it, Disney will make the smart choice. This tactic has worked before, and it can work this time.
Send a letter today, spread the word, and tell Disney, "nil, baby, nil" when it comes to ad dollars for this drivel.
