A way to force coverage and be really disruptive would be through shareholders' annual meetings. Almost every one of the MSM outlets has suffered and continues to suffer severe earnings declines and losses, much of it attributable to their far left bias and refusal to report relevant news, like the 9/12 demonstrations.

That gives us a big opening. The stock of most of those organizations, the NY Slimes being a good example, is in the tank, enabling any one or many of us to buy somewhere between 1 and 100 shares of any given MSM company for not more than the price of an NFL ticket. Owning that stock would give its owner(s) admission to the subject company's annual meeting where it would be possible to ask a host of highly embarrassing, disruptive, relevant questions about the company's bias and the impact of that bias on its earnings. It would also be possible to propose a resolution to set up a special board committee to investigate the company's bias, the impact thereof on corporate earnings, and possible solutions to the problem. This kind of internal corporate action could be supplemented by holding a simultaneous, LOUD, tea party where the annual meeting was being held.

This tactic *works* and has been used successfully.

A few years back, Dayton-Hudson (parent company of the Target chain) was a big corporate supporter of abortion.

Some pro-lifers bought enough stock that they could introduce a shareholder resolution challenging the abortion contributions on the grounds that they offended pro-life customers and lost business.

Dayton-Hudson caved.
