2. What a conundrum.
If we are not supporting sponsors of the conservative talk shows, do we stop watching West Wing?

Do you think this is a plot?

3. I don' buy into
boycotting sponsors of talk radio shows I don't like. Never made sense to me.

4. Sometimes companies just buy time on the station and NOT the show.
I believe that was the case with a number of Weiner advertisors.

6. I've given up a lot to.......
protest the swing to the right. But I draw the line at West Wing.

I heard at one time that the producers of the show wanted to swing the show from a liberal slant to a cheap labor Con slant. At that point, they will lose me forever. And I know that tears them up. And considering the finale last season, it might be true.

7. I'm sorry to say I pretty much gave up "West Wing" this season...
...just because it didn't hold my interest all that well. I tuned in for the cliffhanger though, and I'll sure come back to see how it turns out.

The boycott question is impossible to answer neatly. I mean, it was Bravo advertising it, right? But Bravo is owned by NBC, who also (co-)owns MSRNC, who briefly employed the Savage Wiener, so you should probably already be boycotting NBC, right? Where does it end? Where does it begin.

I'm gonna keep watching the Wing when it interests me, but if I get a Nielsen diary, I just might not report it. How's that sound?
