RATHER RATINGS FADE IN MAJOR MARKETS

NIELSEN numbers this week show Rather fading and trailing his rivals in every Top 10 city, other than San Francisco, with audience margins in some cities of more than 6 to 1 against CBS... MORE...

No more...yet.

But the bias continues. I just clicked on LA Times (I have no idea why) and could find NO MENTION of the scandalous, scurrilous, fraudulent, behavior of Dan. No mention of the 86-year old this stained 72-year old conned. Nothing on the front page at all.

And they are blaming it on Bush voters:

>>Executives fear many voters inclined to vote for Bush are now switching off Rather.

"The audience appears to becoming polarized," a top CBS source said from LOS ANGELES on Thursday. "Rightly or wrongly, we're being perceived as 'anti-Bush,' which I do not think is fair to Dan, who is a fine journalist... of course we do not like to see the ratings coming back the way they are this week."<<

Denial, denial, denial.

Now comes the dumping of the advertisers...you see, we do have the power. I will never watch CBS again..no show, no news, nothing..except to see him resign..that I will watch. The American voter has had it..no more lies..CBS must learn that perception is reality..we know that the MSM agenda is to get rid of Bush..case made, case closed..Emperor Dan has no clothes...

Plunge ??
I think CBS & Rather have hit bottom.

I think that my local Texas CBS station must be feeling the heat. And I live in a very liberal place. According to my neighbor, last night at the beginning of the news the "newscasters" made it a point to distance themselves from Rather. I'm not sure what was said but it was evident what they meant even to the Kerryites.

It's working.

Now up at http://www.drudgereport.com/cbsd3.htm

Here's a cute snippet: Executives fear many voters inclined to vote for Bush are now switching off Rather.

So, why are the ratings plunging in areas where Kerry is ahead in polls???

They ought to be concerned--

Then again, they should have been concerned enough before they ran a thoroughly un-vetted story defaming their President to consider the fact that the President is ahead in the polls and they just might be offending those people with their fraudulent charges--So I don't really care if they're now reaping what they've sown--C

I just called my cable company to see if i could just block all those channels and come to find out I can block them all using the menu option on my remote and navigating to the parental controls.

That sure makes boycotting easier but I think I might not use it. Which I just decided while typing the last sentence. I was thinking just blocking the channels would save me from having to monitor which channels my daughter had on. Instead I am just going to explain to her what we are doing and why and she will cooperate PLUS grow up to be a good republican. Very Happy She's 9 and already aware of which products we don't buy in the grocery store and why we don't buy them. (CBS and Bayer)

ANYWAY, i rambled.. my point was if you'd find it easier to just block the channels you can use parental control features.

Why is it everyone in the MSM makes statements like this one:

"which I do not think is fair to Dan, who is a fine journalist... "

Whom are they trying to convince, if it is to convince me, they are wasting their time.

I rarely watch See-BS, occasional football game and CSI Thursday, but until they correct their errors and fire that "fine journalist"?? Dan - CSI can do without me. I'm sure See-BS's sponsors will miss my money more than I miss their products.

I stopped drinking French wine (which I enjoyed alot) in 2002, now I can do the same to others that threaten my country.

CBS seems not to have a problem with pissing off over 50% of the nation. So, they share in whatever is left in the "dumber-than-a-brick" viewing public.
Only the dumbest-of-dumb can stomach Dan Rather.
