Here are the companies who pay Sinclair and Nexstar.

Take some time out of your day, and call them up, tell them you don't approve them them directly supporting oppression of free speech by paying Sinclair and Nexstar for advertising.

Tell them you'll be buying from/supporting their competitors because what they are doing is hurting the country you love.

Make it personal, make it hurt with your dollars, and the best way to do so is to tell them.

Ok so which ones of those companies will actually give a shit? They seem to be mostly evil conglomerates that will only benefit from the silencing of free speech.

None of them care until it starts to effect the bottom line. Even the perception that this may have consequences on quarterly earnings is enough to get these companies to move. Use the quarter to quarter rat race against them.

Google will care if you and your family all start using a custom ROM with MicroG or Graphene and delete your google accounts. If you go for Graphene, buy your Pixel used. Also switching to a Firefox based browser w. StartPage/SearxNG/Mullvad Leta. Ive been starving them of 6 peoples advertising revenue for years, and I'm not the only person doing it.

This also gives you the added benefit of more privacy in your day to day life. One less large corporation tracking your every move.
