I am totally with you on this idea of going after the biased media but I think it's mistaken timing and method. The media almost NEVER admits the obvious -- that they are biased. If we boycott because they admitted it we are encouraging the wrong thing: more denial.

Instead, we should punish the liars. After all, admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery. (We can dream.) Now is the time to go after NBC or CBS news. I would put CBS first because they have had reporters try to expose them (Bernard Goldberg) and they are still lying about it.

Actually, I think the best way to get the major networks is to bring down their ratings. Turn them off. No ratings, no advertisers.

With the biased press our goal is different. We must reduce their circulation.

I would love to see conservative groups join together and actually advertising against the biased media, asking people to cancel subscriptions and change channels. The general public is being lied by these jokers. We must somehow inform them ourselves.

The best place to hit them is in the pocketbook!

The networks do not care what we think.

As you said: HIT THE ADVERTISERS. They care.

I have had some feedback over the years by HITTING THE ADVERTISERS, and I guarantee you that the advertisers care.

A radio advertising specialist told me that one angry phone called represented, to them, 1,000 angry people.

I think it works.
