Most all of us agree Main Stream Media (MSM, Old Media, the Alphabets....) was a factor in this cycle. It began with WH shill George Stephanopolous' planted debate question to Romney about contraception, and continued through the ignored tragedies in the wake of Sandy on Staten and Long Islands that Obama had supposedly healed with his 2 hour visit. Our goal is to hasten MSM demise by concentrating our efforts. Please join us.
It's difficult to turn off ALL media all the time, so let's agree to one at a time. NBC News programs are my suggestion and consensus choice of our Sunday Morning News Show thread. They're all bad, but NBC News seems the worst offender. )
We will have an affect if we concentrate our efforts rather than dilute the effort over the huge spectrum of TV News.)
We know NBC/MSNBC's ratings are weak and getting weaker across the various platforms, perhaps even extending beyond news. My goal, our goal, is to put them out of business with a final killing financial shiv. Old media proved they're not quite dead...yet. I say kill 'em.)
Start today by avoiding NBC News programs. Spend those minutes and hours elsewhere, even if it's one of the other alphabets to get the mainstream spin. (Remember fundamentals; one at a time)
The sentiments of hundreds of us on this thread are likely shared by a good portion of the FR nation. And certainly another 47% of the country share some or all of our sentiments. Simply ignore NBC News. They're irrelevant.)
Step one; A noticeable loss of numbers for NBC News will add up and be noticed. Cable and satellite digital companies certainly know who's watching what, when. If they know, advertisers know.
Lost viewership = lost impressions to advertisements = reduced sales of advertised products = loss of sponsors.
I'm hesitant to boycott commercial enterprises (the companies that advertise), but they must know they'll be wasting their money on a huge portion of their audience if they advertise on NBC News.
We'll not be exposed to your ads, and if we are, we sure as hell won't patronize them. Something's got to change. We'll start here and now.
Yes, but we travel on business almost 4 months of every year, so it’s impractical. I couldn’t do it justice.
It is not difficult to not watch the news I vowed not to watch any news stations if Obama won and I M sticking to it I watch talc, animal planet and lifetime .
I do watch Netflix but will not go to a stupid movie again

put me on any ping list of this nature, count me in and let me know how i can help....
Exactly what we need to do! I will donate about $50 to add to other donations to hire detectives to follow them around. Traitors like Chrissie Matthews, and Wolf Blitzer, etc. How bout it Freepers!
Oh, I do agree. It’s the one thing I hate about my beloved Rush Limbaugh’s show. I’ve disliked it here too on FR.
Posting or discussing liberal news articles and reacting to their outrageous lies. Sheesh! Let’s evolve beyond that!
Don’t discuss these articles except in utter by the way belittlements. Treat these articles or shows like we would a serial killer’s manifesto. DON’T VALIDATE THEIR EGOS by talking about them.
Spend time instead on discussing only OUR MEDIA or real news stories. If you use NYT or Compost as your vetting source, still don’t quote them or let us know that was one f your vetting sources. Help them DIE.
Remember, THESE SOURCES DO NOT ANY LONGER MEAN TRUTH. If we went by them, we would never know Benghazi existed or that Barack Obama never had a real passport or SS number, or that there may have been any voter fraud. It’s not the truth.
Thanks for saying this.
Glen Beck is already doing just that!
agreed...
“I’m hesitant to boycott commercial enterprises (the companies that advertise), but they must know they’ll be wasting their money on a huge portion of their audience if they advertise on NBC News.”
we need to do this- its critical....find out the conservative companies that advertise on NBC networks and constantly harass them- but we need to point to specific examples of discrimination or “political incorrectness” the station participate in....

NO, you will not succeed with boycott . If they start to go broke, they will get an infusion of tax dollars $$$ in the form of a BAILOUT from OBOBO ! YOU KNOW IT’S COMING !

It's easy to do! All we do is concentrate on the nightly news sponsors.
We boycott them and do all we can to help their competition. It will work.
If nothing else it will cost the news dept. more to run their operation as potential sponsors/ad agencies in this case, think twice about running their spots on nbc. The DBM has to pay a price for their defective journalism.They can't keep ignoring stories like Benghazi and distorting all the rest toward the Dear Leader without paying a price.
Somewhere along the line they have to get back to straight news with how, when, where, who and why the emphasis not agenda journalism.
Dissing sponsor will help what helps even more is showing partiality to competitors of nbc news sponsors. Let them know its a double whammy not only will news sponsors not get bang for their buck but they will get hit even harder with us favoring their competition.
