Common Cause has really lost me on their latest "cause"

Now they are asking people to sign a petition protesting the "bottom line" decision of the major networks not to carry Bush's speech, live. I'm sorry, but I applaud that decision. This is evidence that we are still a free country, where the networks can show whatever they want to--and further, gratifying evidence that Bush is irrelevant and disrespected. This is not some dictatorship (yet) where the people are forced to see, hear, and smell their dictator in long-winded meaningless speeches on TVs and radios at every corner. Reading the summaries (and even if so inclined, the transcript) is enough for me. Sheesh, they need to put their energy into important things, not this counter-productive crap.

Just my $.02-worth.
