CNN has a viewer comment line: 404-827-0234
You can leave a recorded message, or wait to speak to an "agent." Let's do all we can to prevent a repeat of the biased and damaging coverage this 24-hour cable news network gave our Democratic candidate in 2000.

2. For those who are boycotting CNN
I advice you to call this number (or write them) and let them know! A boycott doesn't matter if they don't know about it!

5. You can leave a voice mail
To cut down on phone bills, you can choose the option (#1) of leaving a voice mail. They request you state the specifics of the show you are watching, but since I wasn't, I just complained about Wolf, Judy and Candy as they are *all* slanted to the right. I asked if the Bush campaign was paying their bills because they are giving the 'right' such favorable coverage! It didn't take 3 minutes total...

3. My only worry is this Kingdom Holdings doing advertising on CNN
they might not care what we think. They will be paying the bills. The Saudis are running this country.

8. I called 'em this morning.
It's the third time this week that I've called and complained. Plus emailing. And I won't stop, either. I'm gonna hound these people until something's done about the damned bias!

There are a few posts here and there that indicate doubt that this will do any good. Well, we can't afford to think in doubtful terms. If you do, you in effect lose the argument. That's what they'd LIKE us to do, I think. Give up and go away and stop bothering them about their coverage so they can just continue it as is. It CANNOT hurt to stay on their backs. The only thing that CAN hurt - is if we don't bother communicating, and embrace defeat before we even know whether we made an impact. The squeaky wheel makes all the difference - not to mention getting some grease. The only wrong, bad, or improper action here is NOT to complain and just to give up without fighting - or to assume it's no use.

IF THEY THINK WE DON'T CARE, THEY WON'T, EITHER!
