Exactly. Boycott all of their sponsors. Do this on a mass scale and they will take notice. Money talks.

Boycott them, too. If you have cable or satellite, their ratings go up every time you tune in--and those ratings determine what they can charge for ad time.

Just called DISH network and cancelled FAUX news and told them why. I am checking if CNN can individually be cancelled. Just having it blocked does not work. The money to the network must be halted.
Sad news, mate.
"Cancelling" a channel is nothing more than blocking it on your card. They're still giving them money from your account.. you still count as a subscriber.

On Dish Network, Faux costs extra. It is a premium channel. If I cancell their extra package, how is Faux still receiving money, unless Dish Network pays Faux regardless if you are subscribing to the Faux extra package or not.

The best way is to go out and canvass for Ron Paul. You bypass any media blackout. Talking to people in person is a lot more effective than anything people hear on TV. When Ron Paul is President, everybody will realize and wake up to the fact that MSM are a bunch of lying manipulative bastards that can never be trusted again. People will turn to the internet as their news source.
The way to hurt the MSM and try to get them to change is with a well organized boycott of their advertisers. Advertisers calculate the return on their advertising investment, and it's usually a very small percentage. If they get thousands, or hundreds of thousands of people who let them know that they will NOT be buying the advertisers products or services because of the show they advertise on, they will move their advertising somewhere else. As they pull their ads from corrupt news sources, those news sources will have to lower their rates to attract new advertisers, and they'll lose a lot of money.

No poo, they can determine ratings through that??
I thought you had to have some sort of box! Innnnnnnttttteresting............No poo, they can determine ratings through that??
No... the ratings are drawn from surveys. I have DirecTV and i don't have it plugged into a phone so there's no way for my house to communicate back to them. It's a one-way system - they don't know what i'm watching.

In my opinion the best way to get rid of the old media is to provide a compelling alternative. I am funding the creation of a new type of social news site. It will be done soon.
Are you serious? Heh.
That's weird, a neighbor has Dish and he gets FoxNews for free as part of his package.. he was wanting to cancel it as well, but was told that he can have it blocked , but not cancelled.
Huh. Very strange. My bad
