An Idea - Boycott Bush Media
Edited on Sun Sep-19-04 10:06 AM by ck4829
The 'Liberal' news has recently been attacking Dan Rather for his upstanding work on brining the truth about Bush to light. The Bush Progaganda Machine would rather focus on destroying Dan Rather than focusing on what has happened to our country (How Bush destroyed America).

They have been saying Dan Rather has lost in the ratings.

That's funny how the world works. Swift Vets attack Kerry with lies, and Bush's ratings go up, according to the 'Liberal' Media.

But

Dan Rather attacks Bush with facts, and his ratings go down, according to the 'Liberal' Media.

Let's stop watching CNN, Fox News, and all those other 'sources'.

The Daily Show is much more truthful than Fox News can ever hope to be.

The 'Latest Breaking News' of DU is also obviously much more truthful than Fox News or CNN.

So, if we want to do something, turn off the 'Liberal' Media and tell your family and friends to do the same.

3. The way to reach their advertisers is to pass the word around
through letters and announcements to media outlets that we are going to not watch unbalanced news anymore:

CNN/FOX/MSNBC

Reagan. Add the advertisers to the list. We need to organize and boycott them. you have to hit the in the poketbooks else they won't care. We also need something to get our quotes from. Wasn't Gore going to have a news station on?

7. I rarely watch TV news anymore......................
between the obsession with Kobe and Michael Jackson and Scott Peterson, it makes me ill. Bread and circuses.
