9. That's the ticket. Let the advertisers know we watch CNN only to list
the businesses who advertise so we know who not to spend with!

The right is always howling about free-market AND poking their base to rev up for boycotts. Time to do the same. Let them know we are here too!

5. FSTV, Bloomberg, CSPAN, BBC
In fact I haven't watched the MSM BS since 04, most is from reading, and the sources I named

There is plenty of places to be MORE informed

14. It's time to boycott ALL media except the progressive websites
and radio.

If only Americans understood their power.
Without viewers, media has no advertising $$. Without advertising dollars, the media sinks into oblivion.

If every one of us stopped watching and stopped paying for TV, newspapers, and magazines run by Republicans, our power would be evident.

17. This is just unbelievable
As little respect as I have for CNN and the rest of the corporate media, it's still shocking to me they could sink this low.

This is seriously fucked up.
