As most of you will probably be aware, there's a campaign to get US radio broadcaster Steven Cohen off the airwaves following continuing comments he has made about the Hillsborough disaster, accusing Liverpool fans of causing the tragedy and playing the victims. As the nephew of four Hillsborough survivors and a strong supporter of the Hillsborough Justice Campaign, I've given this cause my full support and will continue to do so until Cohen is taken off the air.
Earlier this week Chelsea said that Cohen wasn't a supporter of their club and would never be after the lies he perpetrated about Hillsborough. With your help we can rid the airwaves of this despicable individual who has used the death of 96 Liverpool supporters to further his own agendas and cause controversy all for the sake of his radio programme. All you have to do is take a couple of seconds to copy and paste the following into an email:
Dear Sir or Madam
You advertise on either one or both of Steve Cohen's shows on Fox and Sirius. Mr Cohen has, and not for the first time, told lies about the deaths the 96 innocent people at Hillsborough, claiming that Liverpool fans were responsible for killing their own, amongst other lies. Is this the type of person you want representing your company? Steve Cohen has done this before, apologising when the outrage grew too large. Clearly, he will not stop, so our objective is to see him taken off air permanently so as to restrict the audience for his continued lies he repeats.
Over 50% of World Soccer Daily's original sponsors have already withdrawn all advertising from the show in light of his actions and this week Chelsea Football Club, the team Cohen claims to support, distanced themselves from him following his comments about the tragedy in Sheffield 20 years ago. Club spokesman Gareth Mills said: “We have distanced ourselves and will continue to distance ourselves from any comments that disrespect the memory of Hillsborough.
"He is not a representative, nor ever has been a representative of the club. We have some 90 million fans worldwide and cannot account for every fan’s opinion.”
I urge you to reconsider your purchasing of advertising. I will be boycotting all your products and services until your support for Steve Cohen and his lies ends.
Thank you
And send it to the following addresses:

These are all sponsors of World Soccer Daily who everyone connected to the boycott is hoping will follow in the footsteps of previous sponsors of the show such as Heineken as well as Cohen's 'beloved' Chelsea FC and UCLA professor Mark Sawyer in distancing themselves from this pathetic excuse for a human being. You won't even have to send the emails individually. Just paste the addresses into the BCC field on the email so that you be able to send them all in one go.
We really do need all the help we can get in driving this hate-spewing monster off the airwaves before he repeats his lies about the 96 brothers and sisters that lost their lives in Sheffield 20 years ago.
Many thanks in advance
JUSTICE FOR THE 96
