First, you decide you don't like the Terri thread people, now it's any those who want to boycott companies for whatever reasons... what group on the forum are you going against next?

Don't believe the reply you got. Unless the 'lefty' shareholders have a majority postition, they can't control the content or the discussion in the boardroom. Also, some of the largest holders of stocks (especially media and CPG (consumer packaged goods)) are mutual funds, and fund managers are agnostic, interested only in performance, not politics

Networks are run by sniveling paranoids whose corner office and expense account are balancing on the tip of a pin whose sharpness is determined by two things: ratings and sponsor dollars. Both of those are directly tied to viewer response.

Any risk, perceived or real, to either of those two realms, results in rolling heads. I saw it with my own eyes.

The poster of this thread doesn't know what the cluck he's talking about.

Again.
