Dear CBS

Posted on 09/20/2004 10:17:11 AM PDT by Visioneer

RE: Dan Rather's statement of 9/20/04.

Do you and Mr. Rather think we viewers are stupid???

I am removing CBS from every tv in my home this afternoon and will be notifying my local affiliate of my actions today. H__l will freeze over before I view anything resembling a "news" broadcast on the CBS network again.

I predict your obsessive efforts to support your anti-Bush bias will ultimately prove to be your undoing.

"I am removing CBS from every tv in my home this afternoon "


How are you doing that - scrambling the signal, or physically removing the number of their channel from your remote?

Dan Rather and CBS need to go further in their apologizing to the people! They tried to use their outlet to support Kerry and smear our President! The need to apologize to our President, call him, put this on the news ...and show we past viewers they are sincere! Without that I too and all on my email list agree NO MORE CBS and no more Rather...they have a long way to go to deserve the viewership they lost!

I wrote an e-mail last week to all the CBS affiliates, have only received three responses, all saying basically that they will pass my message on to CBS.

I stopped watching CBS after the "Black Rhino" bullet hoax. (I don't watch ABC or NBC, either.)

CBS lying/spinning NOTNEWS is an enemy of America and GW.

One can learn a lot about a man by his enemies.

We are stupid.
We elected Clinton. Twice.

They reasoned that it worked for them before, because the 'Dope from Hope' was elected, then re-elected, so why shouldn't it work again?

We can't allow the MSM/OM manipulate us further. on 03 NOV there will be a meeting, probably in New York, around the planning for Hilary '08. We must be absolutely prepared for the onslought. The MSM/OM will parade her around like she is the F'n Queen awaiting the coronation.

The NM must rise to the challenge. We must follow her every move. We must at all times know where she is and what she is doing. She thought there was right wing conspiracy before, she hasn't seen Nothin Yet.

Most (newer) TVs allow you to add/delete channels via a menu system. Also, DirecTV viewers who recieve local channels via their dish can remove channels from their "profiles".

CBS has already been blocked from my Direct TV line up. I did this when they ran that Reagan made for TV movie/hit piece

In the golden years of CBS, Edward R. Murrow said, "To be persuasive, we must be believable; to be believable, we must be credible; to be credible, we must be
truthful."
I can't help but wonder what would Edward R Murrow think of his CBS today.

Here's Mine:

Dear CBS,
I read your note today (9-20) about how CBS was misled
on the Bush Documents. I did not, however, read any
apology from 60 Minutes to the President, whom you
lied about, Staudt, who you lied about, or the family
of Killian, who you lied about. You are, of course,
sorry the whole thing happened, but your apology to
the viewers is nothing... apologize to those you lied
about!

Burkett's story's been around for years and his name
should have raised all the red flags needed to stop
your story, which was a disgrace to CBS and to the
nation during an election year.

It is very clear that CBS wants to "get" President
Bush and has no such desire to "get" John Kerry. Why
has CBS not checked into John Kerry's discharge from
the service? I am only now reading that Kerry fought
for years to obtain an honorable discharge and that he
likely did not fulfill his terms of discharge. CBS
should be spending half their time on Kerry's record
and half on Bush's record -- but it appears to this
ex-viewer that CBS is spending 100% of their
investigative power on "getting" Rresident Bush.

Vendetta, Dan?

WBBM in Chicago is owned and operated by the network. They are directly complicit with this fraud.

Channels designated as "hidden" on my satellite receiver do not show up on the menu. Many cable boxes have a similar function, I believe.

CBS is now a "hidden" channel.

CBS has crossed the line with me and many of my friends. Their arrogant anti-Bush hate/bias continues to blind them to the reality of how much damage they have done to their credibility.
