Comrade, please. I am asking the public to organize and make this demand. We tried cancelling when it came to Paramount, and look at triviality of that ‘boycott’. Look at the data. The only way people are going to see a reason to complain is if, “We’re gonna miss our favorite show!” So put that reason in their face.

Based on how little Paramount suffered after the 60 minutes/Colbert cave-ins, it is doubtful many people will see any reason to cancel subscriptions. If you only get the faithful to cancel, you are only hurting those you love and not the billionaires.

If the talent and the customers for various networks band together to demand a day-long media blackout, the billionaires might be persuaded to all do it at the same time as a power move to show the Government how independent the media can be. Billionaires might very much like to show that they are the ones in control and they can put whomever they want on TV, in memes, or wherever.

I don’t think that’s the answer because this is coming from Sinclair and the FCC’s threat that ABC can do it the easy or hard way, and if hard, then the FCC is going to have some more work to do (paraphrasing).

We need to petition ALL the networks AND Netflix, Facebook, Amazon, and Apple and get them ALL to put up a message on all stations and networks for a day that basically says:

The First Amendment protects Free Speech. It is one of the things that makes the America great. The FCC has threatened to find issues with broadcasters who allow free speech on their platforms. We must stand together to keep America great and stand up for the First Amendment. Contact your members of Congress to make your voice heard.

Hopefully someone can improve my first draft of a message.

More importantly, IF people think this is a good idea, please pass it on to anyone who can get the message out of this enclave and into wider distribution.
