Statement about Staples media buying and Sinclair Broadcasting

Staples, Inc. (ticker: PR_96244, exchange: Privately Held) News Release - 1/6/2005 </B></FONT>Statement about Staples media buying and Sinclair Broadcasting



To clarify that Staples does not have a policy against advertising on Sinclair Broadcasting news, Staples has the following statement:

Our media buying process with Sinclair Broadcasting stations has recently been misrepresented by an organization with no affiliation to Staples. Staples regularly drops and adds specific programs from our media buying schedule, as we evaluate and adjust how to best reach our customers. We do not let political agendas drive our media buying decisions.

Staples does not support any political party. We advertise with a variety of media outlets, but do not necessarily share the same views of these organizations or what they report. As we have done for a number of years, Staples will continue to advertise on Sinclair Broadcasting stations.

Ha! Yea, they stepped in the proverbial pile of dog shit with that move! Damage is done though – I am never going to shop in that flea market again!
