You know, this website's membership is growing. I think we could leverage sheer numbers in a boycott...


I think a large portion of the members here already avoid the MSM. I think you are preaching to the choir.

You are absolutely right though. With all of the insanity in the world right now, it is disgusting to see just how much time is wasted reporting on non issues. You would think that the market is ripe for someone to step in and create their own news network that actually reports the real news. Sadly though, the majority of Americans don't want to see the real news. They want more Brittney, more American Idol, more celebrity gossip...etc.

I agree totally!

There is for anyone using satellite tv dish or direct, you can watch two stations, one is LINK tv and the other is Free speech TV. Free speech tv is totally viewer supported, they receive no money from the gov. or the cable or the satellite companies, they also take no money from advertsiers. There are many award winning tv news programs on both of these channels.

You can also watch the show online, or for those with dial up, read transcripts on the one hour news program Democracy Now. This show and many of the others on these two channels will blow your mind, they show many things ahead of the mainstream media, sometimes weeks ahead, plus their reporting is more in depth. Even if you only have dialup and can't watch it reading a transcript will keep you better informed than MM.

Here are two of their stories from Friday

Despite Opposition from His Own Party, Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich Vows to Continue Impeachment Effort Against Bush
We speak to Ohio Congress member and former Democratic presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich about his impeachment effort against President Bush. On Wednesday, Congress voted to send Kucinich’s bill to the House Judiciary Committee, where it’s unlikely to be considered before Bush leaves office. Kucinich spent four hours on the House floor Monday reading out thirty-five articles of impeachment against the President. [includes rush transcript]

Citing Iraq War, Renowned Attorney Vincent Bugliosi Seeks "The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder"
Vincent Bugliosi is one of the most successful prosecutors in this country, with a record including twenty-one murder convictions without a single loss. With a new book, he outlines his case for the prosecution of George W. Bush for murder. [includes rush transcript]

Yes! This is what came to mind when reading this thread. Also, a neat gift for someone would be to donate money in their name to these types of programs.

I, too, was shocked and saddened by TR's death, but, yes, there are other news worthy items.

Here's what I emailed to CNN, Fox, etc.
"Dear ,
I want more coverage of Representative Kucinich's Impeachment Bill. Thank you!
Sincerely,"
