MRC Launches New Campaign, Puts Media's Advertisers On Notice
MRC Newsbusters ^ | 05/31/2017 | NB Staff

Posted on 05/31/2017 3:06:11 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

.. President Brent Bozell today announced a new campaign that will focus on informing the American public and corporate advertisers about leftist shows and on-air personalities who use their programs to spread vicious lies and hate.

“We are putting the radical left on notice that we are on to them. We know the inside-outside game that radical organizations are playing with their leftist allies in the "news" media. The radical left’s effort to silence conservative media by targeting their advertisers with coordinated smear campaigns has gone unanswered, but today is the day the conservative movement fights back, but with a big difference: We'll tell the truth. And we'll take no prisoners.

“Every network and cable news channel is today on notice that the MRC will be closely monitoring their leftist opinion programs and informing their advertisers and the American public when these programs and hosts go beyond political commentary and engage in smear, hate and political extremism. The difference between our effort and what the left is engaged in is that we will demonstrate to the advertisers of these programs how the hosts of these shows are not simply engaged in disagreeable political discussion but rather outright hate and personal character assassination.

"Today we are putting ten shows, and their major corporate sponsors on notice that we are watching their every move. Additionally, we will be publicly listing the advertisers of these programs and asking them to defend their decision to continue airing ads on these shows. Every time one of their on-air personalities go beyond political commentary and engage in smear and hate, we are going to unleash an army of activists to contact these advertisers by phone and through social media to ask them why they are advertising on programs that are so biased, repulsive and morally bankrupt."

Nice to see them step up. Kinda. Finally...

Just checked out the new Facebook page Stop the Scalpings discussed on Hannity’s radio show. Lots of information there. Targets are Geico and Rachel Madcow advertisers.

I’m delighted with this news!

This morning I sent an email to several “leaders at the center of the arts” that were in charge of scheduling Kathy Griffin on June 16h at Veterans Memorial Auditorium at Grass Valley, CA. I just checked Griffin’s website and that “show” has been cancelled! Feel free to contact all of her other scheduled shows - it’s working.

Maybe my email helped make a difference:

I am one of millions of people that are so utterly offended by Kathy Griffin posing while holding an ISIS-like replica of President Tump’s severed and bloody head, that I hope you have the good sense to cancel her upcoming “show” on June 16th. It is doubly offensive that it is scheduled at Veterans Memorial Auditorium! While our military continues to fight and die by terrorists that behead innocents, it is disgraceful that this disgusting woman would be welcome in the Veterans Memorial Auditorium after posing with the likeness of our President being murdered in the worst way possible!

On YOUR website she is described as being “wickedly funny”. She is not funny but is indeed wicked. Griffin has yet to make an apology to OUR President and his family and scared 11 year old Barron Trump after he saw her on television holding the likeness of his father’s severed and bloody head. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! The left has gone completely over the top with their hatred for our President and this is your chance to inject some sanity into this dangerous political discourse by cancelling Griffin’s show.

There are thousands of us who are calling for boycotting Griffin’s shows, so be alerted that you will surely get undue and negative attention by allowing her performance to go on as scheduled. Her phony apology would be a lot easier to believe if there wasn’t a video of her mocking the response she knew that was coming. Griffin is only sorry that she is suffering a backlash. Instead of being a hero to her leftist Trump haters, she is feeling some scorn - but not nearly enough. Please do what you know is right and cancel her show.

Her server is down now - evidently getting bombarded, but her touring scheduled is listed on KathyGriffin.com

The Democrat Party has the soul of the Devil in my opinion. They appear to be possessed.

Ace Hardware is one of them, and as of now, my past favorite hardware store. I let them know.

The distaff half is Melanie Morgan, former co-host with Lee Rodgers on KSFO, also a former liberal as I recall.

This is not her first rodeo. She is a genuine right-wing activist: one of the few who gets things done.
