I wrote the above letter out of frustration but sure wish we could organize ourselves and like-minded politicians to actually pull this off. Republicans will always be at a severe disadvantage in the media wars if we don't figure out how to embarass these people and reveal them for what they are.

Believe me, CNN does not want this fight. If we did exactly what the United Auto Workers do to one of the Big Three automakers every contract period we could make the rest of the media think twice about their programming choices.

The UAW targets one company out of the three and forces them to comply to their demands. The other two Automakers fall in line and give the UAW what it wants for fear of being targeted themselves. This is the blueprint that should be followed to compel the rest of the traditional broadcast and print media to abandon their partisanship and treat both parties with fairness and integrity. This is absolutely the only way that things will ever change....if we make them change.Pick one or two media entities and really go after them.

I apologize for the vanity but I'm at my wit's end about the lack of basic fairness in our media. Can somebody steer me where I can find others to help me contact GOP politicos and see if we can't get something started? I will spend every bit of spare time working on this if I can get in a few doors.

Freegards,

PresidentFelon

A month ago, I had to watch CNN for two weeks. I couldn't give up the news, and it was CNN or nothing.

Well CNN has always been biased, but I still couldn't believe how bad it has gotten. Even people presented as reasonable such as Wolf Blitzer and Lou Dobbs, were horrible, horrible. How I thought they ever had integrity is beyond me. I was in disbelief at how bad CNN has become.

I haven't watched CNN in years. They weren't called the Clinton News Network for nothing....

If EVERYONE who is not a lib-news-sucking leftist parasite, completely boycotted every liberal newrag and phoned all their advertisers noting they will not buy from ANYONE advertising in the leftist-biased rags....things would change real quick.

I have not bought a liberal rag in over ten years. If everyone did that, things would change. Just shut them down do to lack of advertising funds...end of issue.

I don't know that I would use FreeRepublid's name without Jim's permission. What I normally so is call the ones that advertise with them to voice my displeasure.

Maybe getting a petition up the target the sponsors. I would be more than happy to sign one. My writing skills are lacking or I would offer to compose a letter that could be copied and emailed.

I've been advocating for some time now that people simply refuse to allow CNN, MSNBC, and the rest of the television MSM into their homes. Do NOT tune into their programs. When we want to know what they have been reporting, there are plenty of other ways to find out that information without tuning into their programs. The same goes for the anti-American, traitorous newsrags, such as the New York Times, etc. Do NOT subscribe to these papers, and encourage every other person you know to refuse, and/or cancel their subscriptions as well.

I feel your frustration, PresidentFelon, and share it with you. I'm furious at what they get away with. I'm also furious at the imbeciles that are too ignorant to even know they're being duped.

Funny that you say this tonight. We never watch CNN but 2 years ago on Election Night, they were giving better coverage than Fox News so we skipped back and forth. I hope Fox News will be the quickest to update what's important tomorrow, or people will not keep from watching Communist News Network.

If I may suggest - they've not just declared war on the Republican party - it's an all out propaganda attack against the US. Our troops do not have DNC or GOP stamped on their sleeves - they wear the colors of our country. And to continue to smear them and join in the smearing by the DNC, it's not just an affront to good sensibilities, it's near traitorous.

You are absolutely right on target with your sentiment, if not your specific approach. One way or another (boycotting sponsors, refusing cable packages that include CNN, not using hotels that don't carry Fox, etc.) something has to be done. Propaganda has been and continues to be a powerful weapon of the left. It must be battled, and defeated.

While CNN sucks, and I already boycott the sleazebags, are you running this by FR Admin BEFORE sending this letter to CNN, or after?

I see nothing to apologize about. CNN is known as the Commie News Network for good reason. Any day is a good day to boycott CNN. Wait... What am I saying? EVERY DAY is a good day to boycott CNN!

"'ve been boycotting CNN for YEARS!!"

Same here! It's scary to think of the time where they were the only option for news on demand and Al Gore still hadn't invented the internet.

I rarely watch CNN. Only when someone gives me a "heads up" for a given situation.

Fox is too lefty as it is... but it's by far the best choice available.

If Fox would scratch Juan and Greta, it would be a hugh improvement.

Now why did you go and write something like that for, now Wolf Blitzer is going to make a bad movie about how we ruined his career and that we threatened to kill him. Not that I really mind the movies so much, but if he turns up naked on the cover of a magazine with a bunch of words all over him, I'm going to pluck out my eye balls and blame you for it.
