You know what activists Dems should do... |

We should work together and purchase stock in GE and Time Warner...
Get the proxies of some of the more progressive shareholders and attend their meetings and ask the board why they allow Tucker Carlson, in the case of GE who owns MSNBC, and Glen Beck, in the case of Time Warner because TM owns CNN, to continue on "our", as in we own a piece of the pie, network when they can't get anyone to watch...
We could ask why they are letting valuable cable time to these guys who obviously can't attract any eyeballs...
And add, just for snicks, that what these two do and say is obviously offensive to most of the people who watch cable news channels...
We could get all this publicity and such...
It would be cool theater and draw attention to the dismal ratings of these two RW apologists...

1. Now there's a plan I could get behind! |
|
My folks own quite a lot of GE stock, since my dad worked for them...
Maybe they'd like to join in too...
Great theater!

2. It could work for a while. |
|
But if it got too out of control for them, they would just start holding the stock holders meetings in the basement boiler room of an old coal fired power plant.
