Anyone with half a brain (which leaves out a few on the left that frequent these boards) knows that the "drive-by" media have an obvious bias toward liberalism. One need only scratch the surface to find obvious examples - such as the FACT that Barack Osama gets a pass on his radical associations (we already know who they are so I shall not detail them here).

I quit watching CBS television network news years ago when it became obvious that Dan Rather was in the tank for the libs. I have watched Katie Couric ONCE - just for sh**s and grins. I quit watching NBC when the aforementioned Ms. Couric was still on the Today show. Until earlier this year, I watched Charlie Gibson on ABC's World News Tonight as well as an occasional peek at Good Morning America. However, during the presidential primaries earlier this year, I gave up on ABC after Gibson, et al revealed their own brands of bias.

My favorite (conservative) talk radio station in Gainesville (97.3FM WSKY) is an ABC Radio News affiliate and I had a run-in with them last week over a story that the network ran. I e-mailed the GM and the news director and they forwarded my comments to the manager of radio news with the network. Now, at the top of the hour when they run the network feed, I change stations.

I now get all of my non-local TV news from Fox News.

Which brings me to my idea:

Those of you that feel as I do (there must be a couple of you), here is what I suggest - watch the network TV news broadcasts (keep a bucket close by) once or twice and make note of the companies that are advertising.

Then contact those companies via mail, e-mail or whatever and let them know that you will not patronize their companies as long as they are advertising on these biased networks.

I honestly believe that there are enough of us to make a difference if we get the word out. Once the advertisers start realizing that it might impact their bottom line, it will trickle down to the networks who will realize that their revenues are being affected.

Hey, look at what has happened to the newspaper industry. ABC, NBC, and ABC...you are being put on notice.
