take back the airwaves: cbs stiffs moveon.org
this is a call to arms. i didn’t want to jump on this while it was still “likely” – now it appears to be “confirmed.”
adage has the story – apparently cbs “standards and practices” has rejected the moveon.org “bush in 30 seconds” winner.
this is a valid, important message. the first thing you need to do is go see it yourself, here [low bandwidth version] or here [high bandwdith version].
discussion of possible responses is available at k5. i’ll give you the short version now:
call, write, fax or email cbs and tell them you disagree with the decision.
call, write, fax or email cbs superbowl advertisers and tell them you disagree with the decision.
be polite, be positive, don’t threaten or get personal.
remember, you (the public) own the airwaves. cbs is just borrowing them.
