Title: Let's show our appreciation for the media!
Post by: pops1911 on October 21, 2008, 08:28:34 PM
Let's pick a week that we can protest the mainstream media & their very obvious bias. The only way to do this is to hit them in the pocketbook. If you currently subscribe to a newspaper or other news periodical cancel it for the week that we select with a letter/email explaining why & what etc. If you own a business & advertise in the media either cancel that for a week or maybe change you ad to some 'protest' wording - supporting teh protest anyway. If we can coordinate this, we might even make an impression on a few anyway.



I realize this is only a drop in the bucket, but it can & will spread if we keep at it. Maybe we can get some support from a sympathetic media member (even discretely). We also need to skip reading or accessing the media web sites - including all auto feeds etc.



Any ideas or maybe what week or weeks - keep in mind we need time to get coordinated as well as get everyone on board. As far as this election, obviously there is not enough time, but we can still vote with our wallets after - while we still have some green (assuming BHo wins per the media).

I did not renew my Rocky Mountain News subscription several years ago, because they stand for everything I am against, and they are against everything I stand for.

Here's an interesting article I heard on Rush today:

Also he said the latest AP poll says 43% McCain & 44% Bho! Of course it all fake like the rest of their poll drivel!
