Good morning, Media Group members! I'd like to start a new project. Would it be OK if I host? [View all]

There was an OP about Rick Perry appearing on CNBC. The OP rightly said that such appearances legitimized a leading coup plotter.

I'd like to use the Media group to pin a thread that lists such appearances. When we see one of these traitors on TV, we note the program and the network, look up the contact phone number for the network or program. Then we post the information.

Anyone linking to the thread then calls the number and complains, and we jam their switchboard or at least make them log a truckload of complaints.

I know politicians pay more attention to phone calls than anything else. I imagine TV stations do the same, because a call requires more effort on the part of the caller than an email or text.

It would be a way to register our anger at what they are doing, and a way for them to know they are pissing off their viewers.

I think the Media group is the place to do it. EarlG says if no group members register objection, we can move on with it. But if there are objections, such as if I am misunderstanding the intent of the group, I totally understand.

Let me know what you think.

Best to you all.
