Freepers start whiny phone campaign to CBS -- COUNTER IT! (yes, it matters
Edited on Wed Jan-04-06 01:12 AM by Adenoid_Hynkel
yes, folks it does matter. they pushed whoopi around out of the box. we need to push back in the arena of opinion and fast. don't underestimate what organized rw rants do to the minds of tv execs. don't let them even come close to dixie chicking dave.

let cbs know you liked what you saw.

from the freeps:

"Some CBS contact info- in addition to the feedback option at the bottom of their website:

212-975-4321
212-975-4114

http://www.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow/show_info/ls_show_info_pop_feedback.shtml

Milesrepublican:Co,bining your post with mine to get the contact info out there.

Please everybody, let them know! "

25. They didn't like Letterman calling out O'Liely on his lies tonight
O'Liely was his guest and Letterman took it to him. Check out some of the other threads. It was excellent!

16. Oh you should see the vileness the freepers are spewing
Actually... don't bother.... take my word .. it's just vile..
they're even going after his son and his marriage
GOOD GOD... is there nothing that is too low for a freep ???
They are utter scum of the earth...
and they're destined to always be scum of the earth
I curse them.

5. We have all seen CBS's lack of spine before
There was Dan Rather and the National Guard memo's (a story that was basically true, but that got lost amidst one forged document), and of course the "Reagans" miniseries, which was hounded off the air.

15. exactly-cbs goes out of its way to placate these people
because of a ludicrous rep of being 'lib'rul'

don't let this end with dave suddenly announcing a retirement amid a flurry of rw protest.
hit back hard and hit back early

6. it's amazing how many people who 'hate' letterman watch him, huh?
frankly, I don't enjoy his show anymore, so I excercise my right to change the channel and watch something else. sheesh.

9. But that's not enough for them
For people like that, everyone should be the same--offering the same messages, the same ideas--the same programming. It should all agree with their ideology ALL the time--just like friggin' faux.

7. This is insanity!
Where do these asswipes find the time for such inane bullshit? Calling and whining about television programming that doesn't fall in line with them and their gods on Faux news--

If they don't like it, don't fuckin' watch it. Go jack off to faux!

17. Doesn't Letterman's satire go over their heads anyway?
I figured them more for Leno people, though Jay's taking potshots at Der Chimperor these days.

Poor freepers....It's gotta suck for them when the "librul" media that normally caters to them starts to actually show some balanced dialogue. Boo hoo...

8. Here's my email
Dave Letterman's statement to Bill O'Reilly about Cindy Sheehan was so cogent it was heartbreaking. With just a few words he revealed the callow indifference of many in the halls of power and their mainstream media cohorts to the very real tragedy that continues to unfold in Iraq. Please tell Dave to keep speaking from his heart and not to be discouraged by those who don't hold the true American values of love, honor, and human decency. He is the real deal and always has been. I've been a fan of his for over 20 years and have never had more respect for this true titan of American culture. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We love you Dave!

I'm going to call as soon as I get a break too!

Have I mentioned how much I love Dave Letterman? :loveya:

41. Here is mine:
The show tonight, 01/03/2006, was very good. I especially liked how Mr. Letterman did point out that Mr. O'Reilly does not always speak the truth. Mr. Letterman has done a very good job and I appriciate the effort that he and the rest of the Late Show staff go to put on such a quality show.

Please make sure that CBS hears what I have to say. I fully support Mr. Letterman's right to say whatever he wants on his show. Thank you.

I've been watching Letterman forever, and anyone that thinks Dave putting a gasbag in his place will harm even a mite on Dave's ass is delusional.

They really think their Lord Falafal Master is so big and bad?

Feh.

The freeps might not have liked it, but that was simply a televised political debate with a very clear winner. CBS is NOT going to fire Letterman. He owns the show.

21. If CBS management calls Letterman...
And bores him with this, Dave, being an incredibly powerful person in the broadcast business, will tell them in so many words to go pound sand. And likely, a Senior Vice President will soon be seen in the CBS Executive Sandbox at Rockerfeller Plaza with his pants around his ankles and a 16 pound buttonset in his hand.

What are they gonna do, fire him? He won't be out of a broadcast slot for more than a day. Tops.

Edited on Wed Jan-04-06 01:42 AM by patrice
She said "yes". I said " I want to congratulate Dave Letterman for defending Cindy Sheehan tonight." She said, "Thank you" and ended the call.

On edit: She also asked if I was a viewer, which I am.

29. Tis one of the reasons I call them Fweepers, they're always crying about
something.

By the way, here's the e-mail I sent...

Dear Dave
Thank you for treating evil ugly lying posturing thin skinned hypocritical right wing media gas bag Bill O`Reilly with the sort of slight regard he so richly deserves.
God bless you Sir.

e-mailed the show and told him not to let the religious freaks get to him - they don't watch anyway - they've got the religious preachers on 24/7.

I thanked him for Letterman doing such a great job in putting O'Rielly in his place. He had a fast response along the line "thank you for the mind break" and "thank you very much".

Anyone else call? Did I get the message twisted?
