I emailed 60 Minutes a while ago and told that their show had gone downhill and couldn't believe that Mike Wallace would have anything to do with it.

Just e-mailed this to 60II@cbsnews.com :

You are nothing but a wing of the democrat party.

If you want to rehash a real story try John Kerry corroborating with the enemy in Paris.

Please post the 60 Minute sponsor list as soon as you've got it. I don't have the stoamch to watch them anymore. It's been at least 10 years since I last watched their partisan propaganda.

I've already notified friends about what they're up to and hope they follow through. Yep already emailed 60 minutes - 60II@cbsnews.com
Rather I didn't bother with.

Thanks for the information. I just sent my email, Will The Real Ben Barnes Please Stand Up, with articles. If Ben Barnes swore these things under oath and is now telling a different story was, would it be considered perjury? PERJURY- The deliberate, willful giving of false, misleading, or incomplete testimony under oath.

If I were President Bush I would respond to this interview debunking what was said. The problem with this administration is that it often does not effectively respond to these types of attacks leaving the door open to making them believable.

Just use the parental controls and lock CBS out all together. It isn't like their isn't plenty to choose from unlike the 70's when you only had CBS, NBC, ABC & PBS. Perhaps if the new media would have been oinline in 1971 the 4/22/71 Kerry lies would have been debunked then and Kerry's next job would have been inside the walls of a prison.

I never watch CBS anyway for anything. I only watch FOX.. If someone gets that list of sponsors I will boycott. But, I will not support CBS, ABC, NBC or CNN with my viewing pleasure.

Here's a tidbit that I discovered over at NRO Kerry Watch(http://www.nationalreview.com):

A CONNECTION THE KERRY CAMPAIGN WOULD PREFER WAS GLOSSED OVER [09/08 11:03 AM]

Tonight on CBS News' 60 Minutes II, Ben Barnes, a Democrat and the lieutenant governor of Texas in 1968, "will explain his role in securing for the 22-year-old Yale graduate Bush a coveted place in the state's Air National Guard."

Ben Barnes has raised more than $500,000 for John Kerry's presidential campaign, according to no less a source than CBS News!

If one of Bush's top fundraisers - say, Robert Wood Johnson IV, Chair & CEO, Johnson Company and owner of the New York Jets, who has raised $380,437 for Bush - were one of the key witnesses of the Swift Boat Vets for Truth, what impact would that have on that group's credibility?

Is Ben Barnes telling the truth, or is he just trying to guarantee a good return on his investment in John Kerry?


So . . . consider the source if y'all decide to watch 60 Minutes tonite . . .

I say we do the boycott till they interview John O'Neil, or at least do a proper segment on the SBVT.

We might want to extend this to the NYTimes for their obvious bias towards not reviewing top rated conservative books. We might want to consider doing it for the Today show as they are giving THREE DAYS to KITTY KELLEY while IIRC NONE to O'NEIL.

I sent my email to CBS also

Would this show be considered a soft money ad (in disguise) for Kerry? not to be run this close to the election date????

Great point Stevie, but remember the entire MSM is a Kerry campaign commercial..so who is going to complain.

I emailed CBS and told them the same as all of you..also documented my opinions and recommended the give up trying to get the American voters to "do their bidding"..Sorry, CBSNBCABCCNNMSNBC, we are no longer going to follow your wishes. We do our own research now, obviously much better than yours..we make our own choices, and we choose who to believe and who not to believe..We believe that Kerry is a treasonous liar who does not deserve to be a prison guard in Iraq let alone CIC..

I should no longer be surprised at the MSM tactics..but sometimes I admit, I still am..will boycott the advertisers..however, I will make no stink about it..I will contact the advertisers directly..no more contact with CBS..I do not want to comtaminate my computer system..

Keep the faith friends..the Dems and MSM will now go all out for their guy..this and that inane Kitty Kelly book..but hold on have faith ~ I DO Wink

PD

We had a thread on this back in June on this forum when we only had a few hundred members and now with a community of 5,700 and growing our fleet just keeps getting louder & louder. This was my contribution to that thread.

Back in June we only had a few hundred members now our numbers are moving in on 6,000.

Please lock out CBS from your television and send this email to everyone in you address book.

Please send email to the following addresses

evening@cbsnews.com
earlyshow@cbs.com
48hours@cbsnews.com
audsvcs@cbs.com

I am advocating that we gang up on one specific net work and their sponsors in an effort to apply punishment that will be felt. Perhaps competing networks will selfishly cover the boycott story in an effort to capture a point or two from CBS for themselves. However to avoid looking like hypocrites they will need to at least make a token effort to report some of the untold or under told stories.

The fact that CBS devoted an entire 60 minute program to promote Clintons book while our young men and women are in harms way is enough reason for me to put them on notice as the one that the veteran - military community is putting on notice.

As of today I have locked all CBS stations from all the televisions in my home. And will not purchase any products that sponsor CBS.

You can write directly to the Executive Producer of 60 Minutes - I'm sure that 60@... email address is an electronic dustbin.

His name is Jeff Fager and I believe his email address is jf1@cbsnews.com
