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.

First off, I don't frequent any of the above channels. Second, the
fact is that they were hawking a book and purposly neglected to make
full discolsure, or even hint that they may have a financial reason to
support Clark, that is typical and dishonest, but I would not expect
you to address that with any more vigor than kisser did...
