Boycott MSNBC petition
self generated | september 5, 2009 | Dave Lewis

Posted on 09/05/2009 9:13:52 AM PDT by ldavelewis

Let's organize a serious online petition to boycott MSNBC, including email links to advertisers and lists of products and services to be shunned as well as alternatives to be promoted. Make it succinct and simple, easily completed in just a few minutes. There must be one place where all who oppose MSNBC can organize and demonstrate their collective disapproval

Jaysus, why even bother?

Let Jeffrey Immelt continue to spend GE’s money on the now-official Obama channel.

What are the numbers now? Does anyone watch?

I don’t agree with this. This action, if it takes off, will simply draw more viewers to MSNBS, which is already well in last place in all the ratings metrics.

I thought we were already boycotting MSNBC. Nobody watches that drivel, not even Democrats.

I boycotted MSNBC, CBS, ABC, and ALL the rest months ago by cancelling cable. All the other crap on cable isn’t worth paying for either.
(Unfortunately that had to include FOX, but I can watch it on the internet)

The best way to hurt MSNBC is to let them continue to do what they do. They’re a solid third-place network that has no hope of doing any better. Their ratings are embarrassing. The hard-core lunkheads who watch that network will never respond to a conservative boycott. Let them stay where they are and flounder like a fish out of water.

I am not particularly hopeful of what a sponsor boycott woukld accomplish. What I think that we Republicans and conservatives should be doing is talking to our representatives and implore them to a party unity, for *them* to boycott MSNBC, to refuse to go on the MSNBC pervert freak propaganda lineup of show. Refuse to be interviewed by anyone from MSNBC. They are not a news channel anymore anyways, if one ever thought they were. having anything to do with anyone from MSNBC, will result in nothing biut abuse, and the possibility of catching any number of STDs, by sityting in one of their chairs.

Boycotts their sponsors?...Meh...Complete GOP Boycott of their Freak shows?...Right on!

I agree with the others. Sane, intelligent people don’t watch DNCNBC anyway. Their numbers are in the crapper. A boycott will just draw attention to them.

I strongly support a boycott of MSNBC.

I have already programmed my cable box to delete any access to MSNBC (as well as CNN and the 3 network state-run media).

Petitions only raise their ratings, which have never been lower

And there, in a nutshell, is conservatives' main problem.

Correct - the old saw in politics - when a man is killing himself, don’t help him.

I am not in favor of a petition. I just think that when Republicans and Conservatives go on any of the MSNBC freak shows, or let themselves be interviewed by them, they not only set themselves and *us* up for abuse, but they give validation to MSNBC to portyray themselves as a legitimate news source in stead of the DNC propaganda liars that they are.

It ieks me to see so many (R’s) go on these MSNBC freak shows like, }Any publicity, is good puublicity!”, and they don’t mind that it will all get twisted to push the DimoPervert agenda. Are they really that clueless?

BNo, I say! Let all Republicans and Conservatives boycott *MSNBC* and leave their dwindling sponsors alone...and leave MSNBC hosts to stew in their own hate and bile. That’s what will do more damage to them...them and their LibPerv guests...All just a big bubbling caldron of hate and disease.

Do you have a list of all GE products? I’ve heard that it’s quite a lot.

I’ve been boycotting most of TV for years, except for FNC, FX, History & Discovery Channels, HBO, HGTV and the Food Network.

What I have not been able to figure out is how MSNBC is still on the air. If you look at their ratings they are beyond pathetic. Why has someone not pulled the plug on this Network? They cannot be turning a profit with ratings this low.

The situation at GE must be pathetic. Jeffery Immelt has disgraced and destroyed the company but has not been removed. There's more than what meets the eye here. And what's Microsoft role in all of this? Why have they not done something? I know Bill Gates is not officially calling the shots now but Microsoft isn't famous for losing money.

Does anyone here have any insight on what's going on over in the madhouse called MSNBC?

Alice, as a side note have you noticed how terrible the so called History Channel has become. We get Ice Road Truckers and Monsterquest now instead of the fall of the Roman Empire. About half the shows have NOTHING to do with history any longer. I wrote them an extensive letter complaining of their programming and they responded that these are the types of shows people want to watch. I was flabbergasted. I'm so disappointed in the programming changes on what used to be a good channel.

Any thoughts?

Let the kooks have MSNBC. America needs to see how stupid these people are, and maybe if more people realize the kooks for what they are, the more energized and ative they will become in defeating them.

Stifling MSNBC simply lowers us to their level.
