Time to hold the MSM accountable for enabling this farce.
It's a given that Hillary can not win without SERIOUS intervention.
The MSM continues to enable her for their talking heads ratings.

Informing their advertisers that their products will be boycotted is a great place to start.

1. Even staunch Hillary supporter Dan Abrahms said she should quit
He said Friday night (paraphrasing) that when long time Clinton friend Bill Richardson endorsed Obama it meant the super delegates are telling her to end her campaign.

I was pretty shocked since I cant recall the last time he said anything negative about Hillarys campaign.

2. Not The Advertiser's Fault - Deregulation
We do need a fair media back though or America is finished. They are now trying to steal (for a fair price, of course) the internet from us.

6. One of my greatest fears is that they will succeed.

4. When I clicked open your thread, I didn't know which farce I would find?
The one you reference or the Rev Wright BS. I agree that they should be held accountable for both.

7. So stop watching TV!
I finally couldn't stomach it and was hardly watching by 2002. The plug is pulled and, besides being better informed, I find myself never complaining about the stupid crap on the TV anymore, or their worthless excuse for news coverage.

Perhaps that could still leave a "TV lies to everyone so Joe six-pack is going to vote for the wrong person and we are toast in the GE" complaint, but that is yet to come.

One other observation - the less TV I watch, the more intelligent other people seem, and the less worried about the mythical "Joe six-pack" I am.
