We need to boycott the Murderous Media!
Here in Chicago we could go to Tribune Plaza and protest two liars at once...The Chicago Tribune and Warmongering NBC5 until they start covering the election fraud. We carried Chicago with 80% of the vote and Cook County by the biggest county margin in the country 805,000.

1. I am with yiou in sofar as not buying into any of the
media lies. Once we move out of my parent's place I do NOT intend to get cable, for example.

I also do not intend to get the paper, to follow

I repeat to people RATINGS will kill these people. All cables combined do NOT have the ratings of Air Amerca, for example

6. Agreed. I get so frustrated
with people on this site who post threads asking us to tune in to some particular cable show. Let's boycott the cable news show people, it's the one palpable power we have. But many of us here chose not to exercise it. I don't effing get it!

Over the past couple of days I just ignore those threads requesting that I go to some cable site to "DU a poll".

7. I am doing just that.
Streaming AAR on my computer with my tv tuned to HGTV. I will not give cable news any more of my time. If this debacle of an election proves to be an honest election and not fraud, we can lay ALL the blame at the door of the media. If the election was stolen, as most of us believe, they are still 50% responsible. I am past disgusted.

11. To add insult to injury,
these whores won't even investigate (which is their job) nor will they give it front page coverage, except to paint the story as a conspiratorial theory.

2. No TV since 11/3...except my wife's f'ing shows! No Pentapost since '98
ER - Chicago and Last Watch - NYC. I can tolerate that.

Corporate America controls the media and we get manufactured news.
Corporate America now controls the voting machines and we get manufactured elections.

3. Not another second. If we could make this a nationwide effort like we
did with Sinclair we would have some impact.

5. I quit my cable service as a result of 2000. Cable news is where the
worst rot is, and it is the easiest one to go after. Call your cable company, cancel your service and tell them why. Fox News and MSNBC may not care whether or not they make a profit, but I can guarantee you your local cable company does. Strike where you can damage the beast!

8. I don't believe I can cancel my service and lot lose other stations
like HGTV which I watch a lot. Is it even possible to just cancel the news networks?

10. Isn't there a way that you can block channels. If they find out that they
are being blocked that will be a message. Another issue is
how they monitor viewership. Some people believe and perhaps correctly that Neilson is the primary monitor but I thought they had satellite monitors. Does anyone know?
