We continually (and justifiably) bitch about the lack of quality political news coverage because, frankly it sucks major league ass. We write letters to the news organizations, we threaten advertisers with boycotts, but it still sucks ass.
Here's an idea: What if Kos contributors banded together to reward one broadcast organization for sucking less than the others?
I expect that ratings are closely watched during major events like presidential debates, State of the Union addresses and election night. Let's use it against them. Here's the idea:
(i) Everyone here votes in the accompanying poll to determine which network deserves to be watched exclusively on election night; (ii) Everyone here agrees to only watch the network that wins the poll; (iii) Everyone here tries to get as many of their friends and family to watch only that network; (iv) We write letters to the other networks, letting them know what we are doing and what they can do to regain our eyeballs prior to the next major political news event (Kerry's Inauguration).
It's admittedly a rough draft of an idea, so I welcome any suggestions that would make it more effective.
Also, let us know why you voted for who you voted for.
