The reporters of the 60 minutes Kerry re-election team forgot to mention

Frankly, for years, I have thought of 60 Minutes as lousy entertainment,
not news and I don't watch it. It doesn't change what Clarke said, but if
it upsets you, why not boycott Viacom. You can start by not watching:
MTV
MTV2
Nickelodeon
BET
VH1
CMT
Comedy Central
Showtime
Movie Channel

Avoid:
Paramount Pictures
Simon & Schuster
Blockbuster Video

And let's not forget radio.

Whew! Rush is safe. The rest make no difference, but I just can't give
up Blockbuster Video. Hell, I rent at least 5 movies a year!
