Hit MSM where it hurts
Don't E-mail them. E-mail their sponsors and the companies that advertise on them. Tell them how disgusted you are at how MSM is handling news and isn't even making real news now. Tell them because of it you won't buy their product.

1. This would be much more effective than ranting to the tone deaf.
The M$M WILL listen when companies start to express misgivings about their advertising.

6. Start a campaign to organize a mass cancellation of cable service?
If a few hundred thousand people suddenly cancel their cable service and tell them why, maybe they'll start scheduling better programming.

Screw the sponsors, go after them.

8. I've ranted about not paying for cable/satellites for years around here...
....seems they're an addiction most people refuse to give up...I personally haven't paid for TV in 17 years...when they go digital next winter I'll only use my old TV's to watch DVD's...besides PBS that's about all I use them for now. :nopity:

7. Better yet send letters to the boards of directors for those companies.
