I plan to put this in the "activism" threads, too.
I have noticed local television newscasts often follow the pattern of the LameStream Media! Have you? Even FOX stations, on a local level, are not always "fair and balanced"....so here is my resource for YOU and a challenge:
Above is a link to a resource for almost every tv station in America, state by state. I URGE you, if you watch local news to contact your local stations if they DO NOT report the news about Obama, the mosque, the floundering economy, unemployment, etc. Let them know you are a local resident and you are tired of the one-sided job.
I believe LOCAL stations will listen MORE to viewers than the networks--and if we have to, let's contact not just the people who answer the phones, but go to the managers, news directors, and those "in charge".
We can make a REAL change in the way Hussein is worshiped at the local level.
I do urge you to take a FIRM but tactful tone. People screaming at their target might feel good, but won't get the message through. I suggest something like:
The lib journalists are likely to say something like "Well, we can't fit everything into the newscast...", you can reply with an appropriate response. Maybe something like, "This isn't the first time" or "the bias seems to be a pattern" and let them know you're watching, and do not appreciate it. Tell them you'll be contacting others in the station or the sponsors....
Folks, this isn't "community organizing" the Hussein way, it is making ourselves KNOWN: and it has to start at the bottom.
We are only a FEW days/weeks away from the election. Crunch time...let's make a difference! Use this resource above!!
I like the idea. I no longer watch any TV, but I do recall the “power” of local anchors. I’d also make sure that, if you live a larger market, let all the stations know “you’re watching them.” It wouldn’t hurt to let them know that you’re more than willing to call their advertisers. Then call the advertisers.
We may have many many times more channels today, but that magic of the 1960 and 70s TV line-up will never return.
Contacted program manager for one of our local TV stations not long ago and complained because they weren’t covering an issue. Manager told me he did not decide on program content, major network did. Since I decide the content of programs viewed in my house, haven’t watched local TV news since that time.
I’m helping your cause by not watching TV period. None.
Last TV I watched was Sarah’s acceptance speech. It’s to the point now where if I’m someplace where a TV is on it makes me feel uncomfortable.
99% of TV is mostly a waste of time.
My personal grudge is the weather reporters.
Like the Weather Channel, they have become sensationalized global warming boosters and hurricane howlers.
Like we never had 90 degree days in Indiana until this year?
