I need your help with something.
On Saturday afternoon, @NBCLA, the NBC station in Los Angeles, aired a 30-minute propaganda advertisement for Scientology.
I happened to stumble upon it and was in shock when I realized what was airing.
Scientology has often bought 30-second and 1-minute TV ads (mostly on local television).
It is something I strongly object to, but allowing Scientology to buy a full 30-minute block of airtime is unacceptable.
Someone who knows nothing about Scientology and happened to watch this program would not realize that it was a paid advertisement and might reasonably assume it was programming produced or endorsed by NBC, which could lead them into Scientology.
The propaganda program centered around Dianetics, a pseudopsychological book written by L. Ron Hubbard that masquerades as a mental-health book but is, in reality, an entry point into Scientology — a dangerous, fascistic organization that seeks to destroy the lives of its members and their families.
Nothing about Dianetics or Scientology is helpful or rooted in science. Even critics and skeptics of psychology and psychiatry do not endorse Dianetics and Scientology.
For a major network to present this material in this way is deeply alarming. I understand that Scientology has been purchasing increasing amounts of advertising time across the country, but this crosses a line.
Please use the link below to contact @NBCLA to let them know what a serious mistake this was and urge them to never again allow Scientology to purchase a block of airtime like this.

Pretty sure @XcelEnergyCO is doing rolling power outages and not telling us. Power has been out for a couple hours about once a week this summer. Today, 8/13, 8/5, 7/10, and 6/19 are the dates I know for sure. It would be nice to know ahead of time since I work from home.
@FSAFEDS there is something wrong with your pick&process. I’ve used it for years. it randomly stopped working earlier this month; all my paperless claim boxes were unchecked. I fixed that but I still no paperless claims. Support won’t take a complaint until 3 weeks.
@XcelEnergyCO I am still without power. Your website now says that there is no outage at my house. (Despite me reporting it and the entire neighborhood being out.) This makes it difficult to get updates about repair estimates. (Which btw, said it would be repaired at 445 yest)
. @69bronco wanted to let you know that my son and his friends (who were 7th graders the day of the shooting) decorated Kendrick’s sign this year on 5/7 in his memory. Sending you and your wife peace and love.
Today would mark Kendrick Castillo's 22nd birthday. A promising young man turned hero, saving the lives of countless students and staff at STEM School Highlands Ranch. We hope that we're making Kendrick proud as we all continue to thrive in the wake of his sacrifice.
@leehcarroll Yes! I call report reviews the hokey pokey. Because you put the section in, you put the section out, you put the section in and you shake it all about.
@annehelen @jaimealyse LOL. I just started bridgerton s1 after hearing so much about it and was totally thinking, “Wait, this is Gossip Girl in a different setting.” Insane.
