This latest public revelation by the MSM coup plotters as revealed by Drudge requires a massive response. Pondering that response lead me to consider how most quickly and effectively this might be achieved. Advertiser boycotts require relatively massive efforts as well as avoiding products that one might need to use in any case. Such boycotts are at heart intended to move advertising dollars away from the coup-plotters pocket books.
Here's an idea that might have some merit. Rather than reaching out to the advertisers reach out to the Nielsen Media ratings system. They are the ones that report the number of viewers based upon a mere 5000 households. It is these ratings that determine the the desired market shares and the cost of attendant advertising dollars.
I purpose that we e-mail, snail mail, telephone Nielsen to inform them that our housholds no longer watch any shows on a given network, that we have taken ourselves out of the market place for any advertisers on that network and that their dollars are therefore wasted. The advertisers will have to try to find another way of reaching us.
Consider that 5000 household viewing patterns determine the rates that networks can charge their advertisers perhaps 10,000 or more letters of independence just might shake these sob's out of their smug arrogance.
I assume that FReepers are for the most part among those most desired by advertisers so maybe we can have a quick effect.
I sugggest that any contacts be polite, giving the reasons, and maybe some market info, such sex, age group, profession, etc.
Just let them know we're not home whent they come calling.
Any thoughts?

(Just kidding.)
Cut off the supply trains...free market excercise.
What's the quote about those who study tactics and then those that study logistics?
;>)
Pros and amateurs, I believe.
"Amatuers study tactics, professionals study logistics." Source unknown (and probably lost to antiquity) There are slight variations about as well, such as replacing "study" with "talk about" or "think about".
Seems like we should be keeping it bumped up while a lot of folks are reading FR now that the debate's over.
Anyone have a link?

I guess everyone's so tickled with the debate that this report of bias will be put on a back burner for a little bit till the celebrating's over. :)
Media bias,vote fraud and voter intimidation have me so mad I can hardly think straight.We need to to stop and smell the roses while we can,I reckon.
Yeah...the debate is the e-ticket tonight. I was just so ticked over the Drudge report that I posted directly. I've been doing some more thinking and will attend to this over the weekend.
Thanks for the bump.

That assumes Neilson CARES... They do their 5000 household bit to the {they say} intended market.. Judgeing from the TV programs they "support" with their "ratings".. They are as honest as say, the DNC... Actually Neilson should be looked at as another propaganda arm of the DNC.. those "letter" most likely would be sumarily trash with huge guffaws of laughter.. Can you hear the echos of "Republicans they just don't get it".. and they would be right.. Republicans do seem to be the Dudly Doo-Rights of espionage ill equiped to understand abject evil.. or ANY Conspiracy.
