CNN Advertisers Thread-Who are they? (please keep kicked)
I QUIT watching CNN during the Dem convention, but I can't quit get into the Missing White Woman World of MSNBC. So, while I'm not watching, I'd like to TELL the advertisers why I'm not. Of course, I can't do this while I'm not watching.

For those of you that are still watching CNN, please list the advertisers and products here. I will write, call, and/or email each one and make sure I can possibly not buy those products, not to.

2. That list is pretty harmless....
Those are things people like you and me can actually buy. Here are the scary people:

Kerr McGhee.
Kingdom Holding Corporation
Citibank (Owned by the Saudis)

No wonder CNN has been shilling for Shrub

Funny thing... my fatherinlaw... considers CNN to be a liberal biased station. He calls it the communist news network.... then again.. he is addicted to Fauxsnooze.... so I can understand... a little.

7. ABC Worldnews Tonight was / is good.
I used to watch it exclusively in the PM. But, my local ABC station endoresed * during the 2000 election and I won't allow them in my home until they apologize, so I doubt I'll ever watch that station again.

10. I recall BP - British Petroleum
I stopped watching CNN the same time as you but those BP ads always made me say "WTF?" so they've stuck in my head.
