Jews organize boycotts...

[sugarman]

...to protest what they believe is anti-Isreal bias. Why don't we do the same to protest anti-Dem bias. Let's boycott CNN on May 23rd. So how do we do this? Here's my idea...

1. Start popularizing the idea on DU.
2. Email prominent bloggers to get them to promote the idea. The more people who email the bloggers, the more likely they'll get behind the idea.
3. Get MoveOn.org behind us...
4. Get your friends behind the idea.

I'm sure there are others out there who have better ideas. Let's brainstorm

1. Why May 23rd? n/t

[w13rd0]

2. I've been boycotting...

...CNN, Fox and MSNBC for more than two years now. Pffft, pathetic fake news organizations.

4. you may not watch...

...but America does....

[w13rd0]

7. America doesn't mind a lying...

...thieving, murderous bastard as their Supreme Executive. I sure as shit ain't gonna vouch for them. The US will no longer be the "sole superpower" in 10 years if Bush secures another term in office. Worlds most dangerous man with the worlds deadliest arsenal, and he's a friggin loon. If the people of the US don't rise up and remove him from power, well...someone will...that or, to quote Bush, "we'll all be dead".

3. it's a random day..

the point is we need to organize instead of bitching....Email kos and tell him ot organize a boycott of CNN for a day to protest anti-Dem bias...

5. Great idea

I've been boycotting TV news almost entirely since shortly after the Nov. 2000 selection of Bush. I suspect a lot of other people started to boycott it then too. But our boycott doesn't count unless we make it public. Let's start a campaign. May 23 is as good a date as any.

6. post this idea on the general discussion...

regularly and urge others to do the same...If we can get 10 people to do this we can DU to get behind us. Then, we can begin making a difference...Persevere and don't give up...

[MsUnderstood]

8. whether I boycott or not

makes no difference. I am not a Nielson family so my TV viewing is utterly worthless.

9. I refuse to subscribe to liberal anti-semitism

sorry.

[bitchkitty]

12. How is boycotting CNN anti-semitic?

10. May 23 is a Sunday

Can we find their most watched day of the week to do this boycott? I'm still for sit-ins and clogging the phone lines whenever they tell a lie, but if people get behind a boycott, I'll join in.

11. What boycotts are you talking about?

You mean my refusal to eat Swiss cheese? I don't like Swiss cheese.

But I don't know what boycotts you are referencing in that particularly offensive way.

Would it be too much to learn to spell Israel?
