Time to put a dent into the Republicans pockets "Cut Cable & Newspapers"
Edited on Sun Nov-07-04 11:19 PM by Bushneedstogo
We need to organize a day so that all of us can disconnect cable and stop newspaper subscriptions to the Media organizations that are owed by Ruppert Murdoch and all of the right wing press propaganda machines that refuse to cover anything but positive talking points about Bush.

They tell us that half of the country is against Bush and the right wing media. They say that the poor voted for Bush and the people with College Degrees voted for Kerry. Let's weigh the pros and the cons here. We are the ones that are taking out their premium services on cable, we are the ones paying for the subscriptions to their slanted newspapers and we are the ones paying to keep them afloat.

They don't want to take on our issues or cover any news about the election voting machines that were rigged then I say that we need to do a black out day and stop our services to their right wing slant propaganda machines.

Let's stop the services until the can be Fair and Balanced.

Pick a day out and lets get started.

3. I'm IN
I have COMCAST (blech). This should be a date with some meaning associated to it, perhaps.

4. Get Dish Netowrk?
Not Direct TV which is owned by Murdoch. but thier main competitor.

I do not know what Dish's political stand is BUT they do have Free Speech TV so they can't be that bad.

And subscribe to liberal magazines.

5. We need to make some demands
Remove CNN, MSNBC and Faux or reinstate the Fairness Doctrine. You can cut your subscriptions and still look at the newspapers online.

So what if they loose some bucks and a few people like Novak looses their job. I am sick of putting money into the pockets of companies that are not Americans.

They call us UnAmerican but I don't see our party suppressing their voting rights or keeping information away from them.

Let's pick a day out say in the near future that is significant to history.

Can someone look one up.
