BOYCOTT LEFTIST MEDIA ADVERTISERS
August 25, 2004 | Midnight_Train

Posted on 08/25/2004 8:37:02 PM PDT by Midnight_Train

We need to refocus our efforts. It's time to get their attention. We've boycotted MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, the list goes on and on. Yet they still manage to get their propaganda out to the masses. And why is that???

Because their sponsors are still making money by advertising on their stations. We have to get their attention and the only way we can do that is to take away their funding.

Don't bother boycotting the shows. Boycott the companies that advertise on these corrupt stations.

START TODAY!

Progressive Corp is the home of the biggest Moveon.org donor. I intended to cancel my insurance Monday, but will remember and do it tomorrow.

I call at least 10 advertisers a day and express my views about where they advertise. So far I've received good responses from even CEOs. I merely advise them that their money could be spent more wise in diverse markets than limited markets. MSNBC, CNN and many Press Media stick with one platform (liberal) and won't expand.

I've been doing that for quite some time. For anyone that buys from LL Bean, you might want to check out the latest issue -- they're now involved for the left too. I just mailed my catalog back to them with the four of the six sections of their credit card (cancelled minutes before) and a letter explaining why myself and my family would never purchase from them again (we've probably spent $1000-1500 or so with them in the last several years).

I have noticed that big Drug companys have been sponsoring a fair share of network news broadcasts. A pill for this a pill for that. I guess the liberal left gets off on having a pill for everything. Funny that the drug companys are so called beneficiarys of GWB's medicare prescription drug program but seem to sponsor leftist propaganda newscasts.

Let's see. If I did that I would be sitting in my house (made by Perry Homes), naked and starving.

Progressive insurance is also anti gun, discriminating against firearm owners and asking intrusive questions to policyholders about firearm ownership.

Progressive is the second largest contributor(behind Soros) to MoveOn.org and the other left 527s.

Acually the solution is to that is buy Store Brand Items and Off Brands if Possible. Use small retail shops for clothing. Just a thought?

Wal Mart is the biggest advertiser on Blather's C-BS Evening News. They even advertise on the closing portion of the show.

Supposedly the website HONESTREPORTING.COM has the phone and contact numbers of all media.

The site mostly deals with media which discriminates against Israel, but usually those are the same stations which discriminate against President Bush.

I stopped buying Ben and Jerry's ice cream several years ago when I realized what ungrateful leftist boobs they are.

I also switched from Lipton tea (which sponsored the Dixie Twits) and now buy Red Rose, which is better anyway.

By the way, does anyone remember the old Red Rose Tea commercials from the early 1960s, the ones with the real live monkeys all dressed up on stage playing guitars and trumpets while singing the Red Rose jingle??

It was one of the funniest commercials of all time.
