Oh, we can do a lot better than that. It isn't CBS advertisers, it is the rest of Viacom and all of its brands. They are the bosses - Sumner Redstone first of all. It isn't just Dan Rather.

Looks like See BS hasn't received any of my money yet. I don't use or need any of the products from the companies listed.

Here is a example of how our media old-timey, that is, has not made much mention of to the viewship of the country as a whole: Over 9 MILLION people in Afghanistan have registered to vote. On a World news channel, they show people in long lines like as for food or ice or something, waiting to get their voter cards. Women with their faces proudly revealed but still properly head-covered, tell the reporter from Sweden they are thrilled to have the chance to vote in this election. A man says that he is looking forward to his country being able to hold an election. To us, it seems mundane, but, the Afghanistanis seem thrilled by it. WE are responsible for this taking place. People should know about it in "depth" as old out-going Blather would say.
So. What do we get from our own media? At the most, on the evening news, I think I saw once, about a week or so ago, a four second blip that went like "people in Afghan mummbbblllee to mumb vote in their election but the chances of that happening are sure to be diminished by factions who are against it(gloomy voice over by the reporter, and NO PICTURES of the happy people over there.
