Strategy to gain media coverage

(Note, I posted this above in a reply to a reply, but thought it might get missed.)

The mainstream media corporations are all publicly owned. Kerry or a prominent liberal organization (Dean's or Moveon) could mobilize Dems to speak out at shareholder meetings and in the meantime, contact the chief financial officer or shareholder liaison at each of these companies. Protesting the lack of serious coverage, coupled with an organized effort to get Dems to dump stock in GE, Viacom, Disney, Fox, and Time-Warner could get their attention. It worked with Sinclair Broadcasting.

These companies also have products we could boycott. Send GE's CEO a crushed up lightbulb. Tell Disney we won't buy any Disney toys or videos this holiday season--let alone visit Disney World. Fox owns a movie studio. Time-Warner publishes books and other materials. If half the voters in this country stopped buying this stuff, the corporate media would have to listen.

I'm a business writer. I have access to paid information services and could easily get the names of all officers in these corporations, plus contact info and shareholder materials. Just imagine if we held a demonstration in front of their next stockholder meetings and passed out info on voting fraud (and media suppression of the story) to every shareholder entering the meeting!

Let me know if you need me to dig up contact data.
