It has been a while since I have posted here but I believe that Kossacks will respond to an outrage that has gone on for far too long. While I can always get the three major networks, ESPN, CNN, and Fixed News, I often find that when I check into a hotel that I cannot get MSNBC. This has to stop and I ask you for your help.
Tonight I checked into a Sheraton in NJ while on a business trip. I was looking forward to catching Keith Olbermann at 8PM EDT. To my great chagrin, I could get O'Reilly and the other madness on network TV, but I could not find MSNBC. Over the past several years it has beeen a frequent occurrence that MSNBC is MIA on the TV dial of the hotel rooms that I frequent. It's not just Sheraton either. I was recently at a Crowne Plaza and MSNBC was nowhere to be found. Like many of you I look forward every night to seeing Keith, Rachel, and Dan on the TV. When I travel, however, their voices are nonexistent at many hotels. Apparently, not enough of us have made sufficient noise about this to get MSNBC routinely on hotel TV lists. Tonight that is going to change. I ask all of my Kossack colleagues to join with me in an email campaign to get MSNBC on the TV listings of all the major hotel chains.
I have provided the email links to all of the chains that I can think of; please feel free to add more of them in the comments. I would ask that we politely ask each of these chains to include MSNBC in its TV offerings. If not, we should start our own boycott of hotel chains that refuse to comply with this very reasonable request. Starting today, I will no longer patronize any hotel that does not offer MSNBC in its TV lineup. I hope that all of you will join me in this effort.
A sample message could read as follows:
Dear Sir or Madam:
I am a frequent viewer of the programming on MSNBC. It is important to me that MSNBC be offered as a TV choice in your hotels. Should you not be able to assure access to MSNBC I will refrain in the future from booking your hotel in my travel plans.
Sincerely,
