WAFB in Baton Rouge...refused to show 60 Minutes
Last night, many local CBS affiliates, all over this country had sudden "transmission" problems, for a variety of reasons. We all know the reason for this censorship. As citizens, we have the right to equal access to the airwaves. As citizens, we should not let corporate wingers decide for us what we should watch, hear or read. We pay for our TV cable service, or our TV satellite service, and should not be denied what we pay for. When irate citizens phoned WAFB to complain, they were rudely treated. Will we just let them get away with this censorship? Please take a minute to email Mary Landieu and John Breaux about WAFB. Go to congress.org, and find Mary's and John's websites, go there and email them to ask them to personally look into WAFB's outrageous behavior! "Personal concern" by our US senators may deter WAFB from continuing to protect us from anti-bush information, for our own good, of course. Thanks!

1. MY GOD that's disturbing!
Thanks for the post! I believe that sending physical letters would be much more effective. Also you may want to start an email campaign about what happened, including Mary and John's email addresses. If they get a bunch of letters and emails, they'd surely have to look into this.

REPULSIVE.

ALSO, encourage people to bombard WAFB as well as their cable company with complaints. We have to spread the word on this.

If you compose an email or letter, please post it here. I'm sure a bunch of people would be happy to forward the emails around and the letter contents could be very helpful for those who would like to send a letter but are not in the Baton Rouge Area.
