It's final. I've talked to some Freepers and we have decided to boycott CNN. You may ask why them and not MSNBC (which is more liberal) or someone else. Well, CNN is more standard and it seems like everyone in this nation takes this giant news outlet at face value. It's time we attack and attack now. Read on...

What is CNN? I haven’t watched them in years. I won’t even go past their number on the remote...no way they get any credit for a viewer from this house.

What kind of earth-shattering decision is THAT?

Dude, you can boycott ALL broadcast and cable television except sports and live world crises and not lose a thing.

Took you long enough...didn't even know CNN was still on the air...it's been blocked since Clinton's first election....

...you remember...the election between "Mr. Bush" and "President Clinton".....knew right then and there.

I’m considering canceling my satellite tv service completely. They won’t let me drop certain channels. I’m going to miss EWTN, but that’s about it. Also, my netflix subscription is on the block, because it supports Hollywood.

This evening my hubby and I enjoyed a quiet house with no TV or radio polluting the air. My spelling isn’t the best but you get the idea I hope.

Better yet just to pull the entire cable. Hit all the elites in the pocketbook. Boycott the entire TV industry who did the heavy lifting for 0bama. Mine comes out on Monday next.

If you really want to hurt CNN provide a list of their sponsors. I don't imagine anyone wants to be boycotted during a downward spiraling economy.

If you can figure out how to get CNN out of all of the nation’s airports, I’m in. Until then, the sheeple are still going to think CNN is “the mosted trusted news network”.

Instead of a boycott while stocks are low have every freeper buy shares of their stocks and pool them into a voting block then attend the shareholders meetings and destroy them from the inside.

I stopped paying any attention to CNN and NPR when I learned they had army Psyops personnel on staff during the wars in the Balkans....funny, I don’t think they have been employed there for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

About 15 years too late.

And don’t stop with CNN. I put Fox News on my list a few years ago.

TV sucks, people.

Good for you. I’ve made a decision to boycott all three - CNN, MSNBC and FOX. Worst election coverage ever. Talk radio, FR, the internet and the NY Post are all I need. After McCain’s concession speech I turned them off and haven’t looked back for two days but we must send a message. I doubt they can survive with liberals alone. Half of them are watching Dancing with the Stars. People are so burned out by this election. I think they will lose a lot of viewers. Their ratings will be so bad, they’ll be praying for a hurricane.
