The most important thing you can do is to contact CBS and voice your disgust about Dan Rather. Second, about CBS's anti-Bush taint, and third, send media links to the controversy to the advertisers and lodge a complaint with the advertisers that they must repudiate the 60 Minutes hit piece. Do they want their products associated with a politically motivated hatchet job which turns out to be a fraud?
CBS 60 Minutes Hit Piece on Bush
This should be enough to put a LOT of heat on CBS if you're willing to do the work. Complain to CBS advertisers. Most of these are advertisers that were involved with the 60 Minutes slam on Bush, but hey, complain to them and ask for them to pull their advertising from the Bush Hating CBS...

You are awesome,,thanks for the contacts. We're gonna be busy little campers this morning.
BTTT.
Excellent!
That's Democrat for "lied through my friggin teeth".
Dear Sir/Madam,
60 minutes and especially Dan Rather have been totally irresponsible and unprofessional in presenting and dealing with the fradulent Bush memos.
Kleenex tranishes its Brand by sponsoring 60 minutes. Until they are held accountable, I am boycotting ALL Kleenex products, and I will be asking all my friends, family and associates to also boycott your products as well.
Good stuff. This stuff came directly from McAwful and the DNC. I know it did because they kept bringing this stuff up during the campaign and we were wondering why they were bringing up something that was so irrelevant. This was what they were waiting for and it backfired on them BIG TIME.
Put a stake in Kerry's campaign. It is done!!!!!
Aren't you the busy little bee already this morning? Good for you! Many thanks for your efforts.
This is the content of my letter to CBS and my local affiliate.

Dear xxx,
As I am sure you are aware, CBS News 60 Minutes II is embroiled in a controversy over forged documents that were used to smear the President of the United States.
At this writing, CBS News is just issuing denials and hiding behind their so called confidential sources. As a computer professional, who has worked in the document imaging business for many years, I have looked at the evidence and can certify for myself that it is incontrovertible.
At one time, I might be willing to give CBS News the benefit of the doubt and be willing to believe that it was also a victim of a fraud, but no longer. Dan Rather has been so openly partisan and I am inclined to believe he was at least a willing participant, if not an actual perpetrator.
CBS News has lost all credibility, and in my opinion should be disbanded. CBS, Inc. would do better if it just continued to produce reality shows. At least the producers of this kind of content do not pretend that the events are not staged.
WOW! What a great job. Thanks.
Yes Dan, I vetted those memos and I conclusively conclude that they are in fact from the 1970's.
Thanks for the info!
I have emailed CBS advertisers as well as CBS executives. I have freaking had it with their blatant and continued bias! I like the CSI shows on CBS. Last night, I deleted them from my TIVO season pass. I'm not going back until the record is corrected and Dan Rather retires!
FOX News just reported that Killian's son said that Bush TWICE volunteered to go to Vietnam!
Ben Barnes is also lobbyist for American Airlines (in addition to being National Vice Chair of Kerry Campaign and Kerry's third highest fundraiser.)
