What if we all quit watching the new shows? I mean CNN, MSNBC, all of them. [View all]

Could we make a difference? I truly don't know. I'm trying to figure out a way to make it clear to them how horrific their "reporting" is. Already their approval ratings are at an all time low of 32%. I feel they need to pay for their complicity in the disaster that is this election cycle. I'm serious when I ask if there's a way we could bring them down. I have just had it! I'd appreciate some feedback from anyone who's interested.
