Question: Time to Boycott CBS Again?

CBSNews still hasn't released its report on Rathergate. I'm beginning to believe they think the heat is off of them now, and that they can just bury the issue.

Is it time to re-apply that heat? I doubt that we can cook them as we did when these crude forgeries were first exposed for what they were, but we could manage to let them know that we have not forgotten. We are expecting a full and fair accounting of this scandal, unredacted, uncensored, and promptly.

It would not take much to get all those affiliate phone numbers back into current postings.

Update: Allah, who, thankfully, still posts here at least, points me to this Kerry Spot piece (um, now called "TKS," because, I guess, he began to realize "Kerry Spot" was a bit dated; but I don't know if "TKS" is really much of an improvement) reporting a rumor that the report will be released this Friday.

Trouble is, we've sort of heard these rumors before. And we also know that the report may be heavily redacted; many at CBS are campaigning for a whitewash version of the report.

Let us wait until Friday, then. But if the full report is not released then -- unredacted, and clearly laying blame where it so clearly deserves to be laid -- then I think it might be time to remind CBS that it depends on viewers to remain a viable business.

Geraghty has a tip that the report will be out Friday.

I think the fact that they're kissing up to the White House instead of the viewing public is a bad sign.

I'm in no position to threaten CBS with loss of viewership. Norman Lear already persuaded me not to buy any more "All in the Family" DVD sets. That was my hole card and now it's gone.

Why wait till friday?

Gear up a campaign today, then if they do release it tomorrow, point out the power of Ace of Spades pressure.

Unfortunately, it's like boycotting the French. They never have had anything I wanted, so there's nothing to boycott.

Always trust The Creator of Worlds! Thanks, Allah.

When did they call the 1st boycott off?

Somebody should write a book about the greatest drinking stories of O'Toole, Burton, Harris, and Caine. One of my faves was Richard Harris went on a six week bender in the South of France without telling wifey. Upon return, she's screaming, and he simply replied "why didn't you pay the ransom"?
