I suggest sending the following email to your cable/internet provider. Also write to CBS affiliates and advertisers.

You're a better man than I. (But then I'm not a guy, so I guess that's the case no matter what.)

I work at home a lot. High-speed internet access is a necessity and cable's pretty much my only option. Besides, if I cancel cable, there's no FoxNews.

I don't think so. But I do have a remote that has lots of numbers on that don't go to CBS.

If you have a cable box, you are already "voting with your remote". The cable company routinely checks the boxes to see what people are watching. Sorta like Tivo. Just don't watch CBS. It'll get through.

Gotta have cable to see FOX and besides the CBS affiliate in moist cities can be seen the old fashioned way through rabbit ears.

I agree - if you have a cable box, you're already voting.

If I cancel my cable, the only television I would get are the alphabet network affiliates, including CBS.

I would miss the medical channels, the History Channel, Discovery Wings, Military History, Fox, CourtTV and cancelling my cable would not hurt CBS one little bit, as seldom as I tune in to CBS.

I do encourage everyone to write to CBS and to the sponsors of the 60 Minutes II show on the grounds that CBS has perpetrated a fraud in the attempt to sway the upcoming elections. Asking the sponsors not to support such poor journalistic standards.

Personally, I don't even go so far as advocating a boycott - just asking the sponsors to put some pressure on CBS, and suggesting that people are mad enough about this issue to organize boycotts. (Pajama warriors, unite! Wink

)

It used to be my husband who was the most politically active, but I'm outstripping him in that department by a mile for the last six months.

Even HE has decided to start writing letters and calling congress-critters on this one! Smile

canceling cable service to not watch CBS would be cutting off your own nose to spite your face.

seriously - the last thing anyone should be doing is ignoring what the likes of Dan Rather, et al are up to. Do you think it is exactly wise to turn a blind eye to them? No.

My brother works for a cable company. He tells me that most if not all cable services will let you block certain channels.

If you are unable to block if with your remote, call you cable provider and have them block it from your subscription.

Block CBS......go ahead do it.....you know you want to.
