I think lots of people could sue. Even better, we should find out how to file complaints against our local CBS affiliates with the FCC.
'I think lots of people could sue. Even better, we should find out how to file complaints against our local CBS affiliates with the FCC.'
(from another FReeper)
Write a nice letter to the general manager of your local cbs affiliate. explain that you have determined that falsehoods included in cbs network news programs broadcast by the station are not in the public interest.. explain that you believe that this is something that should be taken into consideration when their license comes up for renewal. close the letter by saying that you therefore request that this letter be placed in the station's public file.
these are powerful code words. "not in the public interest" is the grounds for challenging a license. the "public file" is a file of consumer comments which the station by law must maintain. it is provided to and inspected by the f.c.c.
if you want to be really mean cc the letter to:
Federal Communications Commission
Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau
Consumer Complaints
445 12th Street, SW
Washington, D.C. 20554
believe me, enough of these and cbs will hear about it bigtime. angry affils are the last thing a network wants.
