Sumner Redstone’s No-Good, Very Bad Few Weeks

TV Guide went for a dollar. CBS should bring at least two.
Who's with me?!?!?!?!?
what a dumb ass....movie theatres or CBS? hmms.
Ok, now Rush, Hannity, Ingraham, Beck et al. need to pool their resources and buy CBS. That way there will be “fairness” and objectivity. If they don’t then they should not be able to b!tch about media being so liberal and unbalanced. Opportunity knocks but once.
Count me in!
Put me in for fiddy cents...
I wonder how Rather feels about collecting the 70 million.
I don’t know why RUSH can’t get together with a few of his NFL owner-buddies, and buy Viacom. Put some dough for ‘downpayment’ and raise the rest of the cash with new company stock. (and fire all the lib asses in CBS). I guarantee you the STOCK PRICE WOULD SOAR!
CBS/VIACOM FIRE SALE!!! AS IS!!!
Bidding will start on EBAY at $5.
They need to have a fire sale. Buy it up and fire everybody.........
