Has anyone compiled a list of sponsors yet for this show?

It's time to make some contact with them and let them know in no uncertain terms that the public will boycott their product for sponsoring this tripe.

Very important - I continue to urge everyone to contact CBS and also your local CBS affiliate. Let them know there will be financial consequences for airing this Left wing, propaganda hit piece.

I told my local CBS station that I will be adding their channel to my cable's block list and would never watch another one of their shows.

Do it - now!

I doubt this can be stopped from airing but I believe a better approach is to alert your local CBS affiliate that:

1. If this airs, you will no longer watch THEM.

2. You will also contact each LOCAL advertiser on that station, regardless of what show it is, and let them know you will no longer be watching that channel.

3. Also inform the LOCAL advertisers that you will no longer shop at their stores.

I have had much better luck in getting response going this route than going national, even though I have done that too. No response from national, but two phone calls from the local affiliate.

Today I start contacting local advertisers.

This has to be approached from the bottom up. Enough local affiliates bitch to CBS, they might listen.

I've been wondering how long it would take for someone to bring up the issue of the sponsors of this garbage. If Hannity and other conservative talk show hosts slamming this TV "show" had any cahones they would start talking about boycotting the sponsors, but I am afraid that they are spinless (just like the R Senators who will not force a real filibuster on judicial nominees) and that they fear that they will alienate their current or future sponsors.

I would like to know the sponsers, too. Botcotting them would be effective.
