Georgia-Pacific has updated their media buying guidelines to exclude programs that feature content of this nature. I would suggest that you adopt a similar policy. The year is 2018, not 1818, and people are not as uninformed as it may appear.

Dear Sir,
In corporate circles it is the norm to put a great deal of effort into getting the company image cleanly presented to the public.
I myself have received instruction on avoiding discrimination in any form on the basis of age, religion, sexuality, race and other points. This is taught to employees on a regular basis as policy.
It is therefore incomprehensible to me that this is not the case with your corporation as well, given that you fund A&E programming that is overtly anti-religious and hateful toward my religion: specifically “Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath.”
Georgia-Pacific has updated their media buying guidelines to exclude programs that feature content of this nature. I would suggest that you adopt a similar policy.
The year is 2018, not 1818, and people are not as uninformed as it may appear. Such content paints a negative picture of those promoting the show by funding it.
On a personal note, I would not purchase products from a company that supports attacks against my religion, and I say so publicly to my friends.
Sincerely,
Stephen Forney
