In the meantime, here's contact info for WAFB-TV in Baton Rouge, another CBS affiliate that censored the 60 Minutes show.

2. got a live person

who said,
"ever hear of technical difficulties?"
I responded, "yeah, ever hear of planning a rebroadcast?"
"No, not unless you call CBS and get it."
"Since you are an affiliate, and I am a mere mortal, shouldn't you be doing that?"
"Not our job, and frankly, we are tired of this stuff."

Told him, that I would start boycotting his advertisers, and he said,
"Go right ahead, we don't want people like you around."

Wish i would have gotten his name.

The CEO of this affiliate is a big Repuke contributor and this affiliate sold itself out long ago. People have been calling them left and right and they're really defensive about it.


I wish I had the number for the other affiliates that censored it. I know that WAFB in Baton Rouge in one, and there's also one in Ohio.

7. Now get the other local affiliates to carry THIS story about censoring

and it will be a bigger deal in PA than it would have had the stoy aired regularly.

Also, call the advertisers, especially the local ones.

6. That's in a major swing state - Pennsylvania (here's map for the area)

(I love weather maps - gives you an idea of the area affected)

This station covers the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area of Pennsylvania which does have major pockets of democratic support. I also know this station because this is the station that carries CBS at my grandfather's house in Eastern Lycoming county. Mind you, it's a vacation home for our family now, but that means none of my relatives in that area were able to see that 60 minutes ad

:mad:

I guess this tells us exactly who are true enemies are. The next protest or rally should happen right on their doorsteps.
