CNN has finally come around after weeks of a media blackout and they make a mockery out of Occupy Wall Street. I don't know who makes the decisions there, but clearly they are controlled by the 1%.
You say you are the 99%, then take control! It's really simple. All it takes is a click of a button and their lights are off. Stop watching CNN, give there other smaller stations a chance. If they do good reporting, we wouldn't have a problem with them, but they're not. They're biased and they have forgotten that they cater to the 99%.
So take control. Blackout CNN!
all it takes is a click of a button. C'mon 99%. Show your strength. Give the smaller stations, publications, blogs, online media a chance to tell the story right, to report without bias.
BLACKOUT CNN!

Read it. I'm glad that your e-mail made it clear that we see her intent in the piece. Every word, every shot, every cut was meant to diminish OWC. And yet, she is but one reporter that CNN is using for their own agenda.
We are pro 99%. We're not in the US, but are in support of the 99% and with just a simple click of a button, we can send a message out to them. Let their viewership drop. Let their ratings fall.
Blackout CNN!
Why not have the protesters not give interviews to CNN. Pass it along that nobody in the movement talks to CNN. That would make a statement to the MSM(main stream media) about fair reporting. Just a suggestion.
Yes! That's the spirit. Great suggestion. Let the reporting come from other sources. There are so many other publications, stations, online media, etc. CNN may be a giant now, but they're certainly not the only place to get the news. Viewership is all its about. If their ratings go down, so will the station. Blackout CNN!
CNN is owned by Time Warner, who also owns:
TBS, Cartoon Network, HBO, Cinemax, Turner Classic Movies, Warner Bros. Pictures, New Line Cinema, DC Comics, People Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Time Magazine,
and many others...
I say we black them all out.
Let's concentrate on one. CNN. Let the 99% exert control and bring down one of the giants. You have the power with a simple click of a button. You have the choice. Blackout CNN!
Every time you watch Cartoon Network, you are funding Time Warner, who also owns CNN.
I know it's hard to give up your little cartoons, but have some conviction...
Like Greece in the Eurozone, one fallen pillar can make an empire fall.
Let's Blackout CNN.
Thoreau said: "There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root..."
Why go after one pillar when we could take out the whole structure?
Why shake the hand of the body that kicks you? Aren't we anti-corporation? Shouldn't we then be anti-corporation entirely--not just with the banks.
If you say, "Don't invest in JP Morgan Chase"... on what grounds? Because they received a bailout? Wasn't it the media who convinced us that the bailout was good? Shouldn't then the media in its entirety be punished?
