I have been thinking one way to get CBS’s attention is for conservatives to start accumulating CBS stock. Maybe 100/200 shares per person so no one individual will have much money invested in case they go belly up. Once we as a group control enough shares we can get some members appointed to the corporation's board. We can also raise hell at the annual shareholder meeting.

As of last Friday I found the following information:
Symbol: CBSA
Closing Price: $8.24
Shares outstanding: 57,707,000

51% ownership would be 29,430,570 shares. Thus only approximately 300,000 people would have to purchase 100 shares each. I think a much smaller ownership of say 10% would get their attention.

I saw an interview on Fox where a conservative strategist had suggested a group of wealthy conservatives get together to purchase on of the three liberal networks.

Thoughts?

Actually I think you have a great idea. The problem will be convincing 300,000 conservatives to go along with you and stay on the same page.
