Please, don't call MSNBC... don't write

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

the more letters and phone calls they get, the more the corporatrons that run the place are sure they are right.

Just turn it off.

Forget it.

Let it rot. Boycott it's advertisers.

1. I assume this is regarding

their decision to pull Keith and Tweety and replace them with Gregory?

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

2. It is regarding everything

calling them is exactly what they want. They don't keep track of negatives or positives... just viewers.

[OhioChick]

3. However....

It would make sense for one to write/call them and let them know how displeased they are with their decision and won't be watching them any longer....as well as boycotting their sponsors, right? :shrug:

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

4. NO... don't you get it

they DO NOT CARE one bit... they don't count pros and cons... only raw numbers

[OhioChick]

5. Judging from the responses

to this news in LBN and the Presidential forum, I'm not the only one that doesn't "get it." :shrug:

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

7. sorry, I did not mean that to be

aimed at you

I meant everyone. This is how media works now. It is all numbers.

[OhioChick]

8. No apology necessary

I just don't get it.....if you don't like something regarding the media, you let them know and switch channels.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

9. No, the only weapon you have is

to not let them know and boycott their advertisers, and let THEM know

letting the media outlets know means--to them-- that someone is watching

6. You are not making too much sense

sorry.

10. I beg to differ and here is why

MSNBC realized there was a niche in the "crazy liberal" sector.

So they named crazy liberals like Olbermann (actually I do think he is, indeed, crazy).

Problem is: the crazy liberals make a lot of sense.

And also attract a lot of audience.

Without these commentators, MSNBC would be nothing but "The prison channel". You know, shows about prisons and shows about people going to prison ("Oh no, Chris Hansen!" -shoots self in head). And these shows barely make any money, because even "How to catch a predator" got old after a while and that their viewership is us.

We need to tell them that their viewers are pissed.

11. You may differ all you want

but that is reality on how they treat phone calls, pro and con

12. Can't disagree more about your "Crazy Liberal" assessment

Especially since I don't thin Keith is crazy... he's just armed with the facts and he's PISSED. Of course so am I and the rest of the reality based world.

Not sure if you realize what board you're posting on either.

16. He is crazy in a good way... chill...

I like his big crazy eyes and his big crazy smirk.

He helps me keep my sanity, along with Miller in the morning on my way to work.

14. I agree with you.

[Tutankhamun]

13. So letting them know they've messed up and they're losing

viewers is just playing into their hands? That doesn't make any sense.

Keeping their decline in viewership a secret from them would not help our cause. A boycott should not be done in secret.

[mmonk]

15. Why do you think they were removed?

Because someone was bitching from the rightwing side of things.

[patrice]

17. Controversy = ratings

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

19. Exactly

[Tutankhamun]

18. And let's not call KO crazy.

It must be opposite day.
