Re: MSNBC to air Murray Documentary "Michael Jackson and the Doctor" / Interview part 1 transcript @
Thank you for this.
I wish some people could think a little before acting. We are the main targeted audience/buyers for the Jacksons, the media, any Michael best friend wannabe writing a book, or auction house. Think about it before you click, before you buy. Think about where the money is going, and what the consequences will be.
The BEST things to do are to continue to boycott advertisers of the crockumentary, and to write/call/text/email the advertisers. We must continue to do so, as well as letters/calls/texts/emails to MSNBC.
Clicking on Youtube, does, indeed, leave a "footprint," but
tv watching does NOT (as explained in this thread, many times). However, clicking on Youtube puts NO
money in anyone else's hands. (although some Youtube vids do include advertisements. So use your own discretion about that.) Buying products, DOES, however, generate income for those who are taking advantage of Michael. . .be it specific books, auction items, and products advertised on MSNBC.
Watching the docu on MSNBC does NOT "increase ratings" (unless you have a "Nielson box," and those are RARE, and you'd know it if you had one.) Another thing networks look for is increases or decreases in revenue from advertised products. So yes, that CAN make a difference. Also remember that it's
COMCAST who now owns NBC. Just switching an internet provider away from Comcast, and telling them why -- actually can make a difference, if enough people do it.
This, too, shall pass (and will no doubt be replaced by yet another atrocity? And the beat goes on?)
