I'll take the poll in just a minute, first:

I hear that Hallmark is one of the sponsers. I've already e-mailed hallmark with my promise to boycott their movies and products for the next 365 days unless they pull their sponsorship.

I informed them that France did not think a boycott would hurt them either!

Better yet, write to the president of GE, the owner of CBS, and let him know that you do not appreciate such treatment of Mr. Regan and that it is no wonder that GE stock has tanked over the past couple of years if they spend their time lying about a great man rather than trying to run their company correctly.

I thought GE owned NBC?

[Conspiracy Guy]

I already don't watch CBS but I'll not watch them more now.

[VU4G10]

Done & done.

[ArrogantBustard]

I will NOT boycott See BS because of the Reagan movie.

I can't. I never tune them in anyway, because they are already 100% pure leftist drivel.

NBC was acquired by General Electric in 1986. CBS was acquired by Westinghouse
in 1995.

I never watch CBS except for Sunday football anyway. Now I've decided to skip that as well. The Reagan movie just gives me another reason.

The only thing I can do to "not watch them more" is to delete them from my remote settings so that as I surf the rest of my unwatchable channels, I won't even pass by. ;^)

I thought Viacom owned CBS

Hallmark is also listed by the NRA as an anti-gun company.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I watch less than 15 minutes of TV on weekdays. Maybe a football game or two on Sat, maybe a NASCAR race on Sun. On Sat and Sun I usually have something else to do as well. If I watch TV it is raining hard outside and even then it is not a network channel.

[glock rocks]

You're right. Viacom sounds right. I knew that GE owned NBC, and just copied the sentence from google. pleading blond.

[Buck W.]

GE owns NBC, not CBS. Interesting fact: the three musical tones that accompany the NBC network ID are G, E, and C for GE Corporation.

".....will you boycott CBS............I've been doing that for years......I can't remember the last time I watched Dan?, or is it tom? or is it the other guy from Canada?...or any other show on CBS.....I don't really know what t.v. channel CBS is on in Dallas.

As far as a boycott goes....you don't really have to boycott the sponsers....just dont watch CBS anymore....the sponsers will leave on their own.

Seems like Hallmark of KCMO supported the campaign against Missouri's right to carry effort a few years ago. I make damn sure to never buy their products.

[Overtaxed]

I've already deleted CBS from my channel lineup.
