To whom it may concern:
Dan Rather, on CBS 60 Minutes, presented fake documents to the American people in an attempt to discredit President Bush. The documents have been proven to be fakes, and Dan Rather continues to stand by his lies.
Dan Rather also attended, and was a Keynote Speaker, at a Democrat Fundraiser in Texas proving his bias against the Republican Party. Dan Rather has acknowledged his bias (and apologized) in a recent interview with Geraldo Rivera.
Dan Rather of CBS is blatantly biased and incapable of presenting, and representing, the news to the American public. Biased reporting of the news is unacceptable and deserves an appropriate response.
I am deleting all CBS affiliated channels from all of the televisions in my household (including and especially my childrens televisions) and advising all of my friends to do the same. Your advertisements will not show in my household or the households of my friends.
I will also use my best efforts to NOT purchase any of your products until you pull your advertisements from CBS.
I will put the CBS channels back on my televisions when Dan Rather apologizes for using his position with CBS for his partisan political antics and resigns.
As you can tell, I have had it with the biased media.
Sincerely,
Then, when that effort failed, I would file a stockholders' derivative suit on the exact basis that you describe. LOL.

Good luck with your efforts but I heard that Redstone is a big time liberal. He and Dan Rather are probably big buddies.
If it's possible to contact investors, they might want to know of some reasons that selling their CBS stock now would be a good idea. A falling stock price would get CBS's attention.
I've often wondered why some of these public companies haven't been the target of a large class-action before. Public companies have a fiduciary responsibility to look after the BUSINESS interests of the shareholders in a reasonable way, yet we have such obvious evidence that media corps routinely have no problem with offending half the population.
