So Why Can't we launch a mass boycott of MSM?
Advertisements [?]
I do not understand why we are allowing our Free Press to be usurped by the Right wing neocons. 59 million people chose to vote for Kerry or against Bush or both. 10% of that number alone is powerful.

Most rational people have to have some inkling about the press is not doing its job. No investigations, no hard questions, no interest in getting on the wrong side of the crazies in power. No balls. All the paid for press whores, the real press whores aka Gannon/Guckert, the propaganda videos being shown by the MSM as news. Everyone has heard something about this so we should take advantage.

Why can't we convince like minded people to just not watch the MSM on television and not to buy from any advertisers. Let us start hurting the corporate owned media where it counts. Those of us who no longer watch CNN, MSNBC and the networks, have not missed it. I still read the newpaper (Baltimore Sun) and get other news online. We should be able to convince others to do the same.

Where are the leaders to do this, to really get this going, and keep is simple? All we need is the truth, the whole unvarnished truth. I know there are good websites, but we really need a grass roots movement. We need enough serious people so we don't immediately get labelled kooks.

There is nothing more important to the future of our country then the restoration of a truly free, unbiased press.
