    Heads Up CNN, call the CEO

     

    To the COEs of Dish Network,

     

    I am a long term Dish Network Customer and I have been Personal insulted by three News Channels that I am being Forced to support via my Dish Network programming.

     

    Tonight on September 14, 2009 I turned on the News and was called a Raceist. Although my name was not specifically mentioned all of the 9/12 Protestors in DC where called right-wing Raceist by MSNBC, CNN, and HLN. According to the London Telegraph well over a million Protestors attended the Ralley. I am sure your numbers have changed in recent years, but that is roughly one tenth of your customer base.

     

    I personally voted for Obama and have since been discusted by his actions not his ethnic heritage. The group that I attended the ralley consisted of a My wife, my three year old child, a Homo sexual friend from high school, His significant other, An African American that worked at the hotel we where staying, and a legal immigrant co-worker. I find it unforgiveable for MSNBC, CNN, and HLN to call their (and your) customers by such unforgivable terms as "Raceist".

     

    In turn I wish to no longer support those three companies with my monthly Dish Network payment. Respectfully, I am Demanding that those before mentioned media outlets along with my Local NBC affiliate be removed from my programming package. I am not requesting to have my package changed in any other way except the removal of those media outlets.

     

    As a US Citizen I am guranteed a right to voice my opinion, and in returned my elected representatives have chose to ignore Millions of people they swore to represent. I may not be able to prevent our Political leaders from stealing from my family, but I can refuse to personally fund the Media Outlets that call me, and my three year old child, Raceist.

     

    I require a timely response or I will be forced to end my subscription and find another television provider who will not force me to support such unforgivable actions.

     

    Thank you for your time,
