Call or write CNN, MSNBC, etc. Tell them
Edited on Wed Nov-19-03 10:31 PM by BullGooseLoony
that you're not watching their stations as long as they're feeding us tripe like Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant, and Laci Peterson. Tell them that it's not a boycott, but you're just not interested- probably like a lot of other people.

While your at it, tell them that you want to see more of our Democratic candidates. That's what I'm interested in.

Tell them what you think here: http://www.cnn.com/feedback/

I did.

5. Good job
We need to let them know we're not amused by what they're trying to pass off as news. I'm sure they'll see it in their ratings, too. Then they'll really start listening to us.

3. Their ratings
have probably gone through the roof. You know America. Sensationalism sells and it's CHEAP for the networks. Just ask Roger Ailes. :mad:

6. You know, I actually bet that
their ratings are hurting- I don't think people really give a crap about this stupid stuff, for the most part. People know there's more important stuff going on.

7. Either an advertiser boycott
or a refusal of everybody to watch are the only two ways to make them change. Emails let them know you're watching which is their goal.

9. I did too. But wonder if a sentient human will even read, let alone care
about my carefully crafted criticism. :eyes:
