Lots of complaints about ABC and NBC tonight - and that CBS did a good job

[gristy]

And I saw in those threads that some folks will never watch ABC and NBC again (and that many forswore them long ago). What I suggest is that people DO watch ABC and NBC, and do it with a pad of paper in hand. Write down instances of editorializing and factual errors. Who said it and what was said. Then write them and give them a piece (or many pieces) of your mind. If the error is factual, then correct them. If they are editorializing in the guise of reporting, then call them on it. Seems a few dozen DUers doing this every day could make a difference.

3. Thanks a good idea, I would add that you should also call

or write their advertizers and tell them you will no longer buy their products since as they are on stations that editorialize and use factual errors. This is where you get the stations attention as it will get back to them.

6. Were the ABC complaints based on the report by

Jake Tappert, when his report referenced Kerry's DNC speech? Specifically, Kerry said he would strike back hard if attacked but the Repubs. twisted this into alleged "support" for the idea the Dems. will wait to be attacked.
