known why.
Anybody wanna venture a guess why CBS's Couric is outta here? Ratings. I always avoided ABC because they are Faux news wannabees anyway you look at it.

1. Already re-programmed
back to Brian Williams - I was giving ABC a run just because I got sick of Williams, but back to NBC.

13. Yeah NBC isn't that great but
at least sometimes they attempt to be fair. One thing I like is that they cover the environment.

Edited on Sat Apr-19-08 08:01 PM by DearAbby
over a year, We had shut off the cable almost 4 yrs ago. We watch videos, and DVDs, some PBS programing on the TeeVee in the bedroom...If I want to watch a segment, I watch it online. I am boycotting all television. It has become a wasteland...there is no food for the brain there.

7. Boycott all of the corporate media.
CNN, Fox News, CBS, ABC, NBC, Washington Post, New York Times, etc. They definitely do not represent us.

20. I boycott all TV. Turn it off and get to living life! TV is just box that pushes ads
and snakeoil and propaganda. Once you turn it off, you won't believe how much better you feel!
