Don't boycott CBS; boycott their advertisers!

It's their advertisers that make them money.

We need to make up a list of which companies advertise on which CBS programs. Then write, call, or otherwise contact those companies and tell them that you will no longer be buying their product(s), since you are boycotting any company that does business with CBS. And then boycott them!

This will get CBS's attention faster than any other way.

Seriously, I'm done.

Not a penny more for these fascist-compromised media channels.

Are we all not grown up enough to make our own choices without having to have others direct our behaviors?

People are going to do as they please.

We can't really make demands, only suggestions.

I'd love to see what See BS looks like in six months. Maybe it will fail more than it already has.

Also, there's been little discussion about concurrent to boycotting anything, whether Paramount+ subscribers are jumping ship.

I can't think about it now. Honestly, I don't really want to. CBS is dead to me.

I'm taking time off to mourn the loss of a modern American prophet.

But I do understand your desire.

I'd like to see a comprehensive list of their advertisers. I probably don't patronize many already.

Stay encouraged, ww.

I can't remember the last time I watched CBS or any legacy commercial television network...what I do remember is their not so subtle disdain for Hillary Clinton and their obvious efforts to sell the public a repulsive tv clown as a serious candidate for our highest office..

“All you’ve really got to do is hold on until the corporate cum guzzler who fires you gets fired,” she said.
“And he’ll be gone as soon as he runs out of new cities for NCIS.”

CBS is now blocked on my DVR along with CNN
