DEMAND CNN to cover Wisconsin or we Boycott them (contact info attached) NY-PROTEST @ CNN

[Snoutport]

If the media will not be the watchdog of the people then one of the main supports of democracy is dead. CNN needs to do their job instead of be the mouthpiece for corporate america. The biggest, most sustained protest in the US for decades is being ignored. The union busting is ignored. The coup by the Bush Administration over Gore ignored. It is time America reminds CNN that they can be part of Democracy because they are mighty close to being part of fascism.

1. I completely gave up on them weeks ago. Their true colors are quite clear. n/t

[Snoutport]

9. but we need to let the people know

most people think cnn is kinda liberal...either WE change that or we accept the status quo. Me? I called CNN to at least complain and tell them I won't watch anymore.

[jillan]

2. I've boycotted them a looooong time ago.

3. Haven't Watched CNN Since Right After The 2008 Election!! But Thanks For The

links! I guess I can call. However, right now MSNBC isn't doing much coverage either

4. CNN is a prime example of Corporate Media bias..

I would sooner watch Aljazeera. I might watch BBC News or CBC perhaps. Most of the news I can get on line anyway. I do like MSNBC somewhat.

5. Boycotting them already! nt

[Snoutport]

6. yeah, but do they know it?

[MaeScott]

7. Fair and balanced. The most trusted name in news. Both are lies. nt

[CJCRANE]

8. Good idea. If the media won't cover the news...

take the news to the media!

[emulatorloo]

10. If CNN covers it, it will be from the Karl Rove Crossroads GPS perspective.

Gotta compete with Fox, you know?

[Snoutport]

11. ratings plunge!

sigh...i fear you are right.

BUT, if their ratings go down more.... corporations really like their money and are willing to sell out for it.

[KurtNYC]

12. you can't boycott free media

because you aren't the customer.

The media sells eyeballs to advertisers (and we aren't advertisers).

[strategery blunder]

13. We can deprive media of the eyeballs to sell

If they don't have viewers anymore, then the price for which they can sell ads goes down...

...which is kinda the point.

As for me, I cancelled my cable entirely almost a year ago.

14. Hell I've been boycotting them since the hit job they done on Michael Moore

when sicko came out. I used to email them every so often and remind them of that too but lately I've quit doing even that.

[JitterbugPerfume]

15. CNN?

What is this CNN you speak of? The only regret I have is that Elliot Spizer is there.

[Snoutport]

16. i agree...

he's been pretty good since he went solo!

[Snoutport]

17. he is an agressive questioner

there aren't many of those anymore.
