Today I overhead 2 guys sitting in front of me on a flight. They basically said that conservative threats of a CBS boycott are a joke. They said CBS has 3 of the top 5 rates shows.

You can still watch the shows, and boycott the advertisers.
CBS needs to lose its license and be shut down.
If it weren't for CSI, CBS would be SOL.
Buh Bye
I've never heard about conservatives boycotting the entire CBS lineup (which I never would -- "CSI" rules!). But it's been widely publicized that the ratings for CBS News ratings are lower than ever now.

CSI and dan rather are two different things.
CBS and CBS news different. What share of the viewers does CBS news have?
We're suffering from a serious troll infestation tonight.
Am so stealing that line...
libs are getting there news from guys on airplanes ... maybe you'll start getting your weather updates from people in submarines ... try harder next time
The rest of the network does fine, but the only time their news division 'shines' ratings-wise is with Sunday's 60 Minutes. Their evening news coverage is the lowest rated of the 'Big Three' and even cable news (Fox) beats them from time to time.
I think I'll make it my sig for awhile...
Man, I've noticed that too. Time to get out some Trollicide, don't you think?
Well, people like CSI, and they like Raymond and King of Queens and the other CBS comedies. Especially Two and a Half Men. That's the best comedy currently in production. Or at least I say so. I mean, it's no Seinfeld, but what is? Anyways, I digress...
Most people don't care. They're not hyper-political. But when it comes to news, people are tuning out CBS. And not just because of a conservative boycott. People just inherently know when they're being sold a bill of goods.
