Tell CBS they suck!
Go to http://www.cbs.com/# and click on FEEDBACK at the bottom left, and feel free to let them know that by putting MONEY over FREE SPEECH, they can eat butt.

Lu Cifer, pass this on to other forums, etc

1. I Just Did
Here's what I wrote:

I am very disappointed with your decision to cave in to the organized effort by right-wingers and not show "The Reagans" mini-series. CBS used to stand to honesty, integrity, and a pursuit of the truth. Edward R. Murrow must be spinning in his grave.

3. Me too,
called them cowards, ignorant, spineless and a few other choice words.

I feel better, and everyone who reads DU needs to go to CBS and let their feelings be known. Complaining on a message board is one thing, actually sending your e-mail and comments is another.

Just Do It!!!!!

4. They already know.
What I want to know is, into what dumpster did they toss their spine? I could use a new one -- considering it survived being ripped out in the first place.

8. Maybe...showtime was tanking...and this was a reverse promotion for it???
could be....Raygun is and was useless...I don't care if I ever see his face again.

They proved the media is controlled by the right wing lunatic fringe!

I emailed them too.

9. Could be...
...Although the demographic of people who would sign up for Showtime just to see this thing couldn't be that big. I mean, I'm interested, but I'm not going to sign up to see it. Regardless of how it paints Reagan, it's still going to suck, right?

I mean, this is CBS we're talking about.

10. Here's the note I dropped them.....
"How terribly disappointing, that you would abandon "The Reagans" mini series while promoting "The Elizabeth Smart Story"! It seems that CBS is now firmly in the control of Republican party and extreme right-wing. For shame, what a sell-out from your former selves. The network that just celebrated 75 years, the home of Murrow and Cronkite!
CBS was the ONLY non-cable network that I watched faithfully for "CSI", "CSI Miami", and "Without a Trace". I may now have to be content with HGTV, Discovery, and TLC! "

11. Don't forget to tell them you won't buy from their advertisers
TV networks are in business to sell advertising.

Paraphrasing, I told them of my dissappointment that they caved into a small fringe group whose main interests are distorting the truth and controlling what the American people see and believe. I said it was a dangerous precedent. What would CBS cancel next for this group? CBS News?

12. CBS Feedback Form...

Anyone know how to contact CBS online? Of course they don't provide any contact information. Thanks!

13. CBS......... boring
They basically ruined themselves again. Not many people I know watch anything that they show, and they would have gained ALL of our attention by showing Reagan for who he REALLY is.... but now it's nothing again.

I WOULD boycott it... but I never watch it in the first place.
