One excellent way to get a network to pay attention is to boycott affiliates’ advertisers, especially local advertisers. To this end, I suggest contacting Rochester’s ABC affiliate, WHAM, at 585-334-8700 or feedback@13wham.com to let them know how you feel about the debate moderation. Suggest also that local progressives will be boycotting their advertisers. The next thing to do is to contact advertisers. One is ESL Federal Credit Union, 100 King’s Highway South, Suite 1200, Rochester NY 14617-5598. Another is Frontline flea and tick treatments, whose national number is 1-800-660-1842. I’ll try and post further comments in coming days with other advertisers. Spread the word!

Now would be a good time to trot out that great essay by James Fallows: Why Americans hate the media. An oldie but a goodie.
