Boycott 60 Minutes and 60 Mins II and CBS Sponsors and Products (this will hurt)
If we want to make a statement-HURT CBS we need to write to EVERY company who does commercials on CBS, and tell them we will no longer buy that product because they support CBS. CBS's money comes from advertising/commercials. We need to especially concentrate on the company/s that run commercials during 60 Minutes and 60 Minutes II.
ex. Company XYZ PaperTowels
CAUSE- Write to XYZ tell them....We will no longer buy this brand of paperTowels and for every day we see NO change from CBS we will write to 10 other people each day to ask them to do the same.
EFFECT- XYZ paperTowel company will get a clue and put pressure on CBS to clean up their act, or they will pull their ads.
I promise you this will work. Please add whatever needed

I can get together a list of products and companies. Let me know what you think.
To: GottaLuvAkitas1
A list of all products advertised during the ABC, NBC, and CBS news would be beneficial. Then boycott these products and these channels. That will expand into other shows therefore hurting those companies leading them also to drop advertisement on the big 3.

You can fight back here:
It does no good to protest the main CBS offices.
If you want to be really effective you must protest EVERY CBS affiliate in the country.

Another list List of CBS affiliates
|
Find the email address for every CBS office that has one, including all sales, marketing, customer support as well as management. Tell them how you think they are doing....why exclude ANYONE in the CBS affiliate system from getting your feedback..??
Next surf their websites in every city and town that carries any CBS programming. Make a list of every sponsor found on any CBS affiliate web page, including their email addresses, including all sales, marketing, customer support as well as management.
Make a list of every program sponsor. Search for every company/vendor that carries products sponsored on any CBS program. Identify their local support and home office email addresses.
Compose letters/emails that provide your feedback....Tell them that you will not patronize ANY of the advertisers or purchase ANY product or service carried on ANY CBS affiliate.
Your outrage must be known to grocers, electronics stores and pharmacies and automobile agencies who are advertising on ANY CBS programming.
Email every single television personality at every local CBS affiliate. Make sure you include all weather and traffic reporters.
Every individual who cares CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE when they follow these steps.

Please do.

Just curious. Why the boycott? As I only get basic cable because of a fixed income, these are the networks I get. Why would you want to deprive me of TV?
