GOOD GRIEF .. JUST CHANGE THE CHANNEL ..!!!

When their ratings drop to the basement, the advertisers will find another more popular place.

It’s that simple.

Besides, calling advertisers doesn’t work .. especially since most of those buys are a bulk product; meaning the ads are run at several places at the same time.

JUST CHANGE THE CHANNEL .. it worked for FOX.

It is a token perhaps, yet... it is also perhaps more than a token:

(1) if you ever have to shop for a big ticket item sold by any of these vendors and it is down to that vendor or someone else, now you have a reason to choose someone else;

(2) if one of these vendors ever cold calls you, now you have a polite but solid reason to walk away or hang up (tell them why before you walk away or hang up); and

(3) it makes you feel so very good.

Don't change the channel. Just get rid of cable/satellite altogether. CNN gets paid even if you're not watching them.

We can't boycott everything. Even the internet line we're using is owned by libs.

Every cable box on the cable system as well as most satellite systems monitors and reports what you watch. As Cyber said just change the channel. It is way more effective than a boycott and is almost instant feedback to the ratings companies.

That said if you have a few minutes then by all means contact advertisers and let them know your feelings about CNN. Even if you still buy their products. Spend a few minutes bashing CNN on social media doesn’t hurt either.
