Your remark here: Don't forget the 1992 election between, as CNN put it, "President Clinton" and "Mr. Bush"...I never watched them again...

Was the straw that broke my back with CNN. I stopped watching CNNABCNBCCBS during their mantras of hate against that President Bush and total failure to investigate the criminal background of the Clintoon.

Please, everyone! Contact the networks! The links are on this thread! Express your outrage! This should not stand and just complaining about it won't change anything. WE MUST ACT!

Fortunately I had swallowed my mouth of coffee before I saw this great graphic art or my keyboard would have been ruined.

I'm pinging mnm as this fits right into his sick/evil conservative mind, which is why I like him so much!

Good one: networkmediawhores

Amazing, isn't it? these are the same networkmediawhores that cut away from a live Bush speech to cover Bubba moving in to his new office in Harlem.

Even when they do cover anything to do with PRESIDENT Bush, they refer to him as MR. Bush. Hhhmmmmmm, I don't recall ever hearing clinton referred to that way.......

They'll air a 5 second soundbyte and then trot out 4 hours worth of Democrat response.

I just contacted all the networks and all of my local affiliates. I was told by the locals that they are passing on complaints to the networks. One local told me he, too, was outraged but they couldn't do anything unless they had a lot of complaints to pass along. PLEASE CALL!!!!!!!

The contacts for the networks are on this thread. Please call them, email, whatever. Also, please call your local affiliates since they all told me that the only way this will change is if they get enough complaints..Let's not allow this decision to stand! The bias is disgusting.

Just called the local CBS outlet. They went back in discussions this morning and the network still decided not to carry it. I pointed out that in our time zone that it doesn't even conflict with network programming, but they still can't carry it. She did say it would be on all the cable news channels.

Well, I think you have a point, because if there is huge news, they will have to interrupt and show a tape and explain what happened.

At any rate, I was glad to see it was going to be on the news channels according to the CBS lady I spoke to.

The airwaves, which they do not own, are licensed to each and every one of them subject to certain conditions, such as public interest broadcasting time. It is the responsibility of the FCC to enforce these requirements, a responsibility the FCC has consistently shirked.

Now where did I put that can of whoop-ass?

I agree with you. An announcement that we are going to war, that is not covered by the major networks would be pretty funny. And when they finally ran the clips they could get... they would all say "courtesy fox news" on them.

I understand how you feel...I really do. I just think it's time that we don't allow them to do these kind of things without voicing our feelings. I was told by my locals that it depended on how many complaints they received so I am trying.
