Poll question: Should We Boycott CNN or all Media Till After The Election?

It seems that every time anyone with a Democratic position speaks, CNN seems to have technical difficulties or change to a non breaking news event. The latest one happening today on Inside Edition Withhhh?
You Guessed it. Wolf Blitzer! I am about to have my cable disconnected. I really don't need this sort of BS anymore. And have to pay for it to boot.
If you are in the service, (or in prison, God forbid) and someone does something wrong everyone pays for it. So by selectively going after one media I feel we should go after all of them.

This is not a scientific poll.

1. All Media

All television media anyway. The real news we can get online anyways. No reason to add to those assholes ratings.

3. The local congressional race has gotten so vile

that if it isn't on PBS, I don't watch it. There are no political ads on PBS.

Most of the time I spend these days is listening to good music, either online, from one of the college stations, or from my own collection. I have turned off an tuned out. They can spend their millions spewing venom into somebody else's living room. I quit.

And I VOTE.

4. Not boycotting all media-I keep MSNBC on for Countdown

Otherwise, we quit watching any other program on MSNBC, and have blocked CNN and Fox.

5. Right

Last week Keith almost pleaded with Nader to drop out of the race. And speaking of that hypocritical egotist, he's popping up everywhere. Miserable POS.

6. Same here! This is the dirtiest campaign in my memory and the

media just keeps it churning. I watch Jon Stewart and Keith Olbermann. The McLaughlin Group on PBS has become very funny. Mac has taken Kerry's position and he can really stick it to Blankety Blank Blankley and Pat. B.
