Phase 2:NY FReepers go to CBS HQ and protest
FReeplancer

Posted on 09/14/2004 6:23:40 AM PDT by freeplancer

I will pay for the gas for a few PReepers to go to the city and protest CBS. I thing that would get on more than a few news outlets, and be very embarrassing to Old Media in general. Of course, the main objective is to "bring about change" and not to simply rub old Dan raw.

There was a thread here Sunday. That's how I knew about it. I have no idea what the title of it was though.

DAN RATHER IS THE JOURNALISTIC EQUIVALENT OF A PEDOPHILIC PRIEST & CBS IS SUPRESSING THE EVIDENCE.

Too long - I prefer "Dan Lied!" and "Stop Stonewalling!" (IMHO)

We want you to know that the appearance of our commercials on such shows indicates neither our approval nor our disapproval of the content, just as the appearance of one of our ads in a newspaper or news magazine is not an endorsement of the publication's editorial policy.

That's fine & is probably accurate - but it doesn't cut it. These sponsors, now that they know their name is being associated with a provably dishonest organization, had better bail on further sponsorship or face the boycott.

Re:

Now that one's got potential!

Where do I go to sign up?

Now I usually sleep in my undies in the Summer and a gym suit in the Winter, but I've got my long red flannel nightshirt hanging around somewhere.

The last time I wore it was for a 0530 Reville in the Camp of the Third Maine (CW Reenacting) with a pair of Bean Boots and a Voyaguer cap, playing the Revile on a euphonium instead of the bugle.
(looks and sounds kinda like a tuba).

Reenactors can get a little silly when the "public" isn't around, you know. Come to think of it, we can get a little silly even when they are...

The old red flannel can be broken out again should the appropriate occasion arise.

Best way to freep is to send e-mails to Campbell's Soup, Taco Bell, and Iams Dog Food saying that you won't buy their products as long as they sponsor the CBS Evening News.

As well as;Home Depot,Sprint,Cingular,G.E.,U.P.S,Kia.There is many more and there is a link on FR but I don't know where.

You are so right, we have to express our dissatisfaction to all these sponsors and boycott their products.

Another sign idea (2-sidied): side1: A pic of GungaDan with "What's the Font, Kenneth?" and on the other, A pic of GungaDan with "Has anyone seen my credibility? It seems to be missing..."

NYC here!

1. It's NOT too cold for Jammies here

2. I'm in! & I got just the jammies & slippers for it.

3. Let's wait to hear from Firebrand, our famous & fearless leader.

4. Must do this quick while it's still a hot issue.

Organize a demonstration of your local CBS affiliate, C'mon FReepers, I really think lots of noise around the whole country CAN make a difference.

Lets make Thursday Sept. 16th FReep CBS Day!!!

You are too hilarious....

I rush to your posts when I see them and you never fail to give me a great laugh ... bueno!

I hope someday you will find yourself sitting with Bill O'Reilly on his show lightening up his sour grumpy self!

Please explain that the kind of pajamas you were probably thinking of weren't "winter" gear! haha
