3. Yah, but anyone can buy tv time...

This really isn't right if it is true no matter who the team is or the station...this is a friggin free country where anyone can buy air time, are they going to refuse Democrats air time when it comes to the election?

7. That's just their excuse...

CBS is so far up the RNC's ass that they aren't seeing anything but brown. First they cave over the Reagans. Now they are allowing them to dictate policy at the network. I thought commercials were protected under the first amendment and if you had the money to buy the time, you could do whatever you wanted, within reason, of course.

9. well screw them

I don't watch TV anyway so I can't boycott them or refuse to watch the superbowl. Maybe I will email them for censoring what we watch.

of censorship.

11. I went ahead and wrote to them just now

telling them we were boycotting watching the superbowl this year and that it was hard to have a free country with censorship like this. I know it won't do any good but he it felt good.
