Vote with your money, boycott CBS advertisers, and let THEM know about it!
Update: Thank you, Susan-RI, Jennifer Morris, and Christy who dove deeper and found that the Mad As Hell guy is actually far right boycotting against “liberal bias” for the past 3 years. His disclaimer is valid for any of us:
“Disclaimer: It is just as important to voice your disappointment in the company than to actually boycott their products.”
This Mad As Hell link has a link to a link/email to a weekly updated list of CBS advertisers. Someone more clever than I would have to figure out how to go down that rabbit hole effectively. In the meantime, we can contact CBS directly!
Thank you for your insightful post.. A large scale boycott of the companies that advertise on CBS is probably the only thing that will get their attention in a meaningful way. The demise of the fairness doctrine and the Supreme Court's assertion that money is "voice" are the primary sources of the polarization that plagues our society today. The CBS action is fundamentally about money, and only a serious threat of financial damage is likely to get the company to reassess their decision.
This stopmainstreammedia bias link is a conservative and awful ‘make the people scared link’! I have to wonder how much of this anti democracy tactic Putin and his Koch, Trump, Devos buddies are orchestrating.
I knew I could count on one of my fellow commenters to have this info. Who needs Fox when dupes like Neeraj Khemlani are in control of CBS. ‘Putinism’ wins at CBS!

However. As much as money talks, those advertisers are not going to notice scattered losses of $10 purchases. It’s back to what Mad As Hell guy wrote: “It is just as important to voice your disappointment in the company than to actually boycott their products.”
Thank you Ellie, for researching and sharing this information with the community in this space. With great appreciation for your tireless dedication to information sharing, I’m off to write loads of letters and draft my phone call script. Do you ever sleep? :)
It is up to US, as active citizens to use our voice and our vote to preserve self-governance. I hope people are paying attention. If not, we will soon be expected to live as loyal subjects!

That’s it. Boycott CBS.
Boycott CBS to protest hiring Mick Mulvaney, and let CBS know about it!

So raise our voices directly to CBS!
Called, left strong message of dismay, demanded Mulvaney be removed before I watch CBS news again, (I don't even own a TV). Felt good.
Good plan, call CBS directly

Ellie, this link goes right to a conservative media control the news site.

Susan Zirinsky no longer is CBS News President.
Thank you and will edit her out. Then edit in the name of the current president of CBS, whoever finds it.
Done! "Did you think we wouldn't notice?"
Thank You Ellie!!
Thank you, Ellie!
That site is actually for conservatives.

Only Reports Negatives about Trump
Controls and Manipulates public Opinion!
Only holds Republicans/Conservatives accountable
Ignored Hillary’s lies.
Got Obama elected and re-elected!
Suppressed the Benghazi Scandal!
Downplayed scandals like IRS, VA Hospital, etc!”
Thank you. Updated.
Thank you, Ellie, for researching this for us.
I can’t boycott CBS; I haven’t paid attention to them, or NBC, or ABC, for news or anything else, in, oh, thirty years anyway.
PBS’s Newshour is the only tv news I trust at all.
The point is not only to boycott, but more importantly to complain to CBS executives and their sponsors' executives about hiring Mulvaney.
I only trust Heather Cox Richardson, Lucian Truscott IV, TCinLA, and Greg Olear. Even PBS needs to please rich sponsors.
I remember a time (before republicans destroyed public television) when no ads and quality shows. No begging. It was heaven.
MaryPat - Good point. I would also add Dan Rather to the list.
I don’t watch CBS either but I'm damn sure going to write and call.
Me neither.
Me neither.
And write to them telling them why you’re doing so.
That's the most important part!
You're still watching CBS?
Love 60 Minutes, Sunday Morning, and Colbert.
The three good things still on CBS.
I cut the cord. Haven't watched CBS for 20 years since Cronkite died and all their great journalists died. CBS had a stable of great journalists who were writers. Not graduates from performing arts majors
Well Dan Rather didn’t die! They fired him for telling an inconvenient truth.
Bingo.
