Put pressure on CBS to drop Reagan movie

[Az Joe]

Here is a link to a feedback form to let CBS know how we feel about them trying to trash the gipper.

[BurbankKarl]

no one watches CBS

[steve-b]

Why do a TV movie on Reagan, when you have a year long mini(?)series with the Clintons?

Yeah, you could do a series on Clinton that would make I, Claudius look like Spongebob Squarepants.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Boycott the globaloney corporations backing this with commercials. What trash. Was it in Orwell's 1984 where the totalitarians rewrite history to suit their own purposes? We're there apparently.

[Rockitz]

"Hit 'em where it hurts - in the wallet" bump

That requires going after the advertisers. Who are they?

[maxwellp]

I filled out their feedback form and told CBS that if they proceed with this series that will probably defame one of the most beloved American Presidents, to expect a boycott of CBS and the advertisers.

As well as emailing CBS, please also email and/or call your local CBS affiliate and informing the station's General Manager that you will be immediately DELETING their channel# from your on-screen tv listings selection until you are assured that CBS will NOT be showing this hate-speech Striesand-approved mini-series about the Reagans.

Let them know that you will no longer be watching any of their local news programming [that'll hurt] or ANY of your [until now] favorite CBS programs, like JAG, Joan of Arcadia, CSI, Raymond, 60Minutes, Hack, Guardian, etc.

Let them know that your entire ENTENDED FAMILY concurs and are joining you in this boycott of all CBS programming, both national and locally produced.

We really do have to put the fear of [their] God, (ie $$) into them for TPTB to cancel this anti-Reagan smear mini-series.

When filling out the CBS Feedback form, click on the pull-down the list to "Other-Not Listed" instead of addressing your complaint to any one particular show.
But do list every show you will NOT be watching on your complaint form.

Have you seen the movie yet? What's wrong with it?

Check this link out for info on the CBS piece of crap they're doing on Reagan.

I sent them my 2 cents worth. I'm sure it will be ignored. But, it's a try anyway.

[Az Joe]

Well, I would keep an eye on this and see if a list of sponsors gets compiled.

Then we hit 'em where it'll hurt!

[GROOVY]

I can't wait for the upcoming bio-pic from CBS about Bill Clinton. I heard Newt Gingrich is set to play Bill Clinton. Not likely I guess.

BUMP

[SoggyBottomBoy]

is the columbia broadcasting systems still on the air. . . who knew?

[mewzilla]

Really want to raise Hobb? Call the affiliates.

[JavaTheHutt]

Yeah, you could do a series on Clinton that would make I, Claudius look like Spongebob Squarepants.

I was think more along the lines of a Caligula vs Mr Rogers analogy, but yours works well also.

[Sgt_Schultze]

...Do we know who will be sponsors of this filth?

Yes. The advertisers include among others, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Coors, Anheuser-Busch, Xerox and IBM. These advertisers are regular consumers of timeslots during NFL football.

It will not be enough to boycott the advertisers of the hit piece. See BS will simply run it without sponsors leaving only the bookend advertising. This has to be a boycott which will impact the entire network and any business which associates with it. Their entire slate of advertisers is complicit with providing the revenue making the Reagan mugging possible and all those advertisers should be made to pay.

[Dog Gone]

Don't watch the show, just like you don't watch any of their other prime time shows. Seriously, if conservatives tune in to see this hitpiece, they'll consider it vindication.

My donation:

CBS,

Seeing that you are going to air a "hit piece" on Ronald Reagan and seeing that you are attacking a man that now cannot defend himself there is nothing I can say here that will change your perverted, demented, Rather-ized little brains.

So, I will be letting as many advertisers as possible, from as many shows as possible, that I will no longer purchase their products and will do my best to convince others to do so.

Even a small drop in revenues for a few days or weeks can ruin the bottom line for a year.

Speaking of bottom line, why do you constantly do everything possible to alienate and drive away maybe 50% of the viewing population in the USA?

Guess that's liberal economics 101: Do what you can until nobody is watching.
