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.

Thank you. 'will be watching for it.

I agree with you completely that to watch it is a mistake. I don't even own a TV, and I don't miss it. However, there is some kind of weird assumption that always floats in the background of these discussions: That somehow the networks will know whether or not I watch a particular show.

I always thought that there were some individuals who had special "boxes" attached to their TV's, and that the networks know what these "special" individuals watch, but if I had a TV, I wouldn't be one of them. So how could the networks know? Or do all TV's transmit information to the networks via radio or something? I doubt it.

That leaves increased product sales as the only possible way to know the extent of conservative viewership. However, if the show itself is making you sick to the stomach and angry, that wouldn't have much of a tendency to reinforce buying behavior would it? So it is difficult for me to understand how someone could help them out by watching their own TV if they truly understand how vile CBS really is.

Of course, why let the filth into your brain in the first place? Or the brains of your family members? But the networks are not omnicient.

"...you *think* that's by accident, Slim?"

Not at all...anything the Left can do to disparage the grand legacy of Mr. Reagan--the gratest POTUS in MY lifetime--the easier it is to disparage his Principles of limited government and a bold foreign policy!! That's why I believe it's important to boycott the advertisers that support this inaccurate hit peice, instead of just ignoring it!!

I hope somebody watches it so as to provide a good critique of its inaccuracies, becuz I know I ain't watching a minute of it...life's too damned short for that!!

The network ratings are determined by a combination of sources. Nielsen has several thousand homes with electronic sensor which detect which channels are being watched. But they also mail out several hundred thousand diaries to people around the country to complete during "sweep months" and conduct telephone surveys.

If you're not participating in any of those ways, then the networks have no way of knowing whether you saw the show or not.

Fat Chance. CBS is the same network that cast PLO-symp Vanessa Redgrave as the lead Auschwitz prisoner in the Holocaust MOW, "Playing For Time."

All of them witches.

With no TV - you don't have a Cable box which these days are two-way receivers to download previews and order movies. It is comprehensible that viewing statistics could be easily accumulated in real time and valuable to the marketplace.

Don't know - I just emailed a request for said info to Fox & Friends (AM show) - maybe if more folks contact their favorite sleuths, might be able to stir the pot a bit...

[FreeAtlanta]

I suppose some of us may have to painfully watch it to record who each one is. Then report back. I am not a big enough martyr to do that.

[pabianice]

My email to CBS:

"Your broadcast of a movie about Reagan that includes slanderous dialog wholly invented by the writer is unconscienable and disgusting. Shame on you.

"I will record this movie just to have a list of sponsors to boycot..."

Since SFDad and I own Wal-Mart stock, I decided to communicate my displeasure to Wal-Mart. Here is the URL for comments/feedback at Wal-Mart: http://www.walmartstores.com/wmstore/wmstores/Container.jspBV_SessionID=@@@@0767200165.1066848148@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccdadcjjgkkfifcfkfcfkjdgoodglh.0&template=ContactUs.jsp">http://www.walmartstores.com/wmstore/wmstores/Container.jspBV_SessionID=@@@@0767200165.1066848148@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccdadcjjgkkfifcfkfcfkjdgoodglh.0&template=ContactUs.jsp

If this seems inordinantly long, it is. If it doesn't work, you will have to navigate through the site. I suggest going through "Investor relations" and then look on the page bottom, fine print, and you should find the "contact us" tab. They make it difficult.

"Put pressure on CBS to drop Reagan movie"

Why? To do so is akin to grabbing a shotgun from a suicidal serial rapist who specializes in children under ten.....

My very succinct comment: "Trash Reagan and lose me forever..."

[HaveGunWillTravel]

Here is what I wrote: Don't slander Ronald Reagan with any gay commie liberal bias bullshit revionist mendacities.

[dangus]

Anybody else notice the USS Ronal Reagen patch depicts a jet fighter bisecting France as it heads to Libya?

[Mr. Wright]

What we really need to do is to find out the "sponsors"
of this trash. Let us all let the "sponsors" know
that neither us nor members of our families will purchase
any of their products! That is how we all really can
stop this kind of "See BS"!!!!!!!!

CBS is not counting on the ad dollars from here. Any money they get here will be pure gravy.

The real money will be DVD sales in Europe. This miniseries will be a big hit in France and Germany - and it will pick up a lot of viewership in the UK, too, I bet...
