While I deplore what some of these people do and say, they still have First Amendment rights. Let's never forget that. OTOH, I've been doing a personal boycott of jerks like Ed Asner, Candace Bergen, B. Streisand, etc. for years.

I think our boycott efforts are pointless though. Most of these people make themselves targets only after their accountants tell them they have enough money socked away so they'll never have to work another day in their lives. And we're not making enough of a ruckus about the Norman Lears of the country who translate liberal Hollywood activism and media propaganda into direct political action: wander around in the People for the American Way web site a little, http://www.pfaw.org/pfaw/general/

This is the man who gave us Archie Bunker (conservative stereotype), Maude (pro-abortion 'freedom fighter,') etc. The same types of people are hard at work battering down cultural barriers in regard to homosexuality and spreading anti-Christian messages. We're several decades late and millions of dollars short in combatting TV-transmitted cultural decay and subversion. Wake up and smell the latte, people! The best thing to do with your TV set is fix it so it can only receive the Fox News Channel or, failing that, haul it to the dump.

When a new show is debuted on TV, it usually starts off non-political, but soon gets political. That's when it starts to suck and is eventually dropped. Sometimes the process takes a couple years, but i know that as soon as i realize my favorite show is trying to send me a message, i quit watching. I figure others do the same.

Has anyone said that these self-appointed ubermench can not say what they wish? What I deplore is this effort by the socialist elite to take away the right of us untermench to voice our opposition to them by not giveing them our hard earned money. Do they have a right to our pockets? How else can we speak and be heard by these elites so that they will understand us?
