Don't watch the TV news today--boycott the inaugural (Vanity)
Mamzelle

About the only thing we can do is deliver lousy ratings to the news orgs--including Fox News. The advertisers will notice.

You only hurt ratings if you are signed up with Neilson. They don’t know what you watch if you are not submitting stuff to Neilson or have a Nielson monitor box.

How will they know if I watch or not? (I won’t, my stomach isn’t that strong).

Most of the media and the advertisers are in the tank. This is a coronation, they don’t care what the little people think.

Well, I’m in favor of not watching, anyway. Isn’t this day about bowing the knee to Obama? Isn’t it ironic that he’s substituting himself for MLK? The best thing I can do is to refuse to attend.

Inaugural? What inaugural? They just called me from Adventure Outdoors and told me my S&W Model 48 22WMR (6”barrel) revolver is in...I think I’ll mosey on down and honor his celebration by picking it up....

My TV is off in a state of mourning that a dictator has risen in the USA and we are helpless to stop it.

What do you hope to accomplish? Four years from now, will the networks say to themselves, “forget it, the ratings were too low last time.” LOL

Why would I watch Obozo’s inaugural when I have hockey back?

I accomplish the same thing by refusing to attend a Gay Pride Parade. The whole point is an exhibitionism. I remember the orgasms the media had four years ago, how they pushed this ridiculous slacker/stoner on the US and then called us racist.

And Obama knows nobody wants to watch, and that's what's called a Narcissistic Injury. What hurts a narcissist the worst is when nobody watches. And the networks find it hard to claim an audience when the seats are empty.

But it's just a suggestion, gesture to make when there's not much else to do on his day.

The kenyan is NEVER allowed on any TV screen in my house under any circumstances. This is an absolutely horrific day for me, my family, my country and my fellow Freepers. I honestly appreciate this web site more every day. It’s one of the few things in life that’s sane and keeps my spirits up.

There’s a lot more of us than they want us to know about—and I just read on FR that Mark Steyn is subbing for Rush! Spirits have lifted for me just now. I thought there would just be a re run. But I’m not turning Fox on. They’ll be trying to act like this is a happy day, and it is not. It is a bad day for America.

Already done. I quit looking a twitter too. Cantor tweets every 10 minutes about the inauguration;coffee with president and lovely wives; guests arriving, blah, blah, blah. Why is he so excited or did someone take over his tweets?
