Advertisers who sponsor left wing media should be boycotted.

The best way (if there is a way) to force the left wing media into moving to the center is cut off their source of profits.

If the companies who advertise on left wing media, network news, cnn etc received millions of emails, letters saying that their products will not be bought as long as the sponsor they lying left wing media then it may make a difference.

RE: Progressive Insurance Company

No links but this is easy to verify..

The chairman of Progressive Insurance Company Peter Lewis has connections to George Soros, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and other leftist causes.

Heck with all that. I’m going to see James Bond today supposed to be one of the all time best. Also The Wire considered to be the best series ever filmed was an indictment on inner city politics and the hoplessness of gang life. It was made by HBO and every episode was haunting.

I heartily endorse a boycott of liberal supporters, but not with the idea that it will cause them to change. If the death spiral of the the traditional media hasn’t convinced the Left that liberalism doesn’t sell, they will not BE convinced.

I simply do not like giving my money to my enemy.

All refusing to watch the msm does is to make it cheaper for companies to advertise on the news shows.

Going directly to advertisers is more effective.

How did you research for the best over-the-air antenna? We’re considering that. Is Radio Shack a good place to buy?

Boycott Time-Lies-Warner-Turner. It’s all one big company and a lot of rotten throughout.

Dump cable and digital tv. Pay television means Viacommie and Time-Lies-Warner-Turner still get your money every month even if you don’t watch their channels.

Tony Curtis was gay? He banged Yvonne DeCarlo and his daughter is Jamie Lee Curtis from Janet Leigh.

GEICO means “Government Employees Insurance Company”

Yes, it was an insurance company for the federal government workers when it first started.

(they are advertising it openly now)

Because it is their 75th anniversary.
