(Fwd) CSICOP's Taking Stock

["Jaime Wilson" <jwilson@...>]

CSICOP to Become Shareholder in TV Networks

To provide leverage for its response to the television networks' lucrative
commercial marketing of fringe science and pseudo science, CSICOP
is asking friends and supporters to help it acquire common stock in media
conglomerate companies.  This will allow CSICOP to take part in shareholder
meetings, where it can question the infatuation with the paranormal
increasingly demonstrated in television programming.

"We are deliberately targeting each of the four major television networks,
which is to say, the well-known media conglomerates Westinghouse (CBS),
General Electric (NBC), NewsCorp (FOX), and Disney (ABC)," said a CSICOP
statement issued in Los Angeles. Also targeted is Time-Warner.

"As a 'shareholder,' CSICOP will have opportunities to attend shareholder
meetings, submit viewpoints to shareholder publications, and sponsor
shareholder resolutions.  While exercising these and other shareholder
rights, we will be representing the
broad constituency of readers and donors who support CSICOP and the Skeptical
Inquirer magazine."
