4. Complain to the stations airing this garbage...

At 1:30 am I called the local NBC station to voice my complaint. Of course even the 'News Hotline' number went unanswered at that time night, so I shot off (no pun intended) an email instead. I plan on calling each and every station that airs that 30 minutes of lies and hatred.
I understand that stations get revenue for the air time they sell but they also need to be a little responsible for what they put on the air. We're not talking about vacuums or exercise programming here. Bad enough Super PACs flood the air waves with with 20 second ads... 30 minutes of venom is just too much!
FYI Depending on your cable provider, you can search to see where and when this infomercial will be aired and get your complaints ready! I already saw that the local ABC station aired The Secret War on Guns at 5:30 am....they will be hearing from me, too!
