Blitz CNN sponsors now!
I have had it up to here with CNN!!
We have called,faxed,written and still they are as bad a Fox.

As of an hour ago, they have disconnected their fax at CNN.


Let's hit them where their money is...

Does anyone have an up to date list of sponsors!?

Fax: (404) 878-0891

1. I have been either calling or writing every day
I think a sustained push should do something.

I am watching and making notes of ads. (even though it is tough. my brain deliberately turns off during most ads) I will write those advertisers and tell them so long as they spend money on CNN, I will not spend money on their products.

3. Thanks so much!


I have a Chrysler. I thought I read that they are a sponsor.
But, I was afraid to call Chryler when I didn't notice it on CNN now.
I'll keep watching too, even though it hurts to watch.

2. Stop sending your cable or satellite provider a check every month.
Don't call to complain. Call up and cancel! Tell them you want a liberal news network and you aren't coming back until they have one to offer you. Stop paying them to bring you something you don't want.

5. Of course there's no liberal network.
As long as you keep paying for FOX & CNN & MSGOP why should they provide one? Things won't change if we just keep going along with the program.

6. corrected second link to contact info --
http://www.congress.org/congressorg/dbq/media/?command=org_pages&org_id=554

(I've noticed lengthy links don't transmit like they used to on DU -- I think this was addressed, but can't remember the reason.)
