Screw the MSM. Boycott them.

I don't think a boycott is going to help fix the problem here. The Arab press is playing this tape on a continuous loop nad getting people inflamed against us -- that's the problem. If every freeper boycotts Al-Jazerra, it's not going to change that. I think we need some new ideas.

In general, the MSM is already catering to the left, so letting them know that we don't like won't do much. However, NBC is unique in that they are owned by GE. If pressure is applied to GE it could cause NBC to reform. Why NBC can play Micheal Moore at the expense of alienating a lot of consumers from the various GE operations is a question that needs to come up in a GE boardroom. Hopefully some NBC punk would exit the meeting via a ten story window.

NBC is putting anti-American propaganda into the hands of terrorists. NBC will ultimately cause American soldiers to die. Does it get any clearer than that? Let GE know that their goods and services will not be supported:

Mortgage Services

I've read Jack Welch's biography. At GE it is all about the money. NBC has nothing to loose by further alienating red America. But GE can lose a lot and can be used as the fulcrum with which to lever NBC into a non-terror supporting news network.
