We will boycott the Superbowl this year. We will also be writing to all of the sponsors. Television is for families. We do not want our children brainwashed by religious nuts like "Focus on the Family". Wake up America. Google "which minority owns U.S. media".

On November 3, 2009, Viacom Inc. reported a 14% increase in operating income and a 24% rise in adjusted net earnings for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009, with growth in Filmed Entertainment and Media Networks.

The company released this statement:

During the third quarter 2009, Viacom revenues decreased 3% to $3.32 billion, primarily reflecting lower home entertainment and advertising sales, which more than offset increases in affiliate sales and theatrical revenues. The gain in operating income in the quarter was driven primarily by an $88 million increase in the Filmed Entertainment segment. Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations attributable to Viacom were $421 million, up 24% over the third quarter 2008 results, with adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.69, a 25% increase over the prior year's results.

Sumner M. Redstone, Executive Chairman of Viacom, said, "As we enter a period of economic recovery, Viacom is already beginning to reap the benefits of a highly focused and well executed strategy. With our strong brands and growing global footprint, we are well positioned to capitalize on future opportunities."

Funny they didn't mention the main owner of VIACOM

Sumner Redstone, can someone say this site is a front to cover the large amount of JEWISH media ownership in this country.

Pretty obvious if you ask me

On July 28, 2009, Viacom Inc. (NYSE:VIA) reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Revenues for the second quarter of 2009 totaled $3.30 billion, a 14% decline from $3.86 billion in the second quarter of 2008. This decrease reflects lower revenues in both the Media Networks and Filmed Entertainment segments as weak economic conditions continued to impact certain business sectors. Operating income declined 26% to $586 million primarily as a result of lower year-over-year revenues, which more than offset a $352 million net reduction in expenses in the quarter. Excluding the impact of Media Networks and Filmed Entertainment severance charges, adjusted operating income decreased 22% to $619 million.

Reported net earnings attributable to Viacom declined 32% versus a year ago to $277 million, or 27% on an adjusted basis. Excluding $0.03 in severance charges, adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.49, a 23% decline versus the second quarter of 2008.

Sumner M. Redstone, Executive Chairman of Viacom, said, "As the leading pure-play content company, Viacom has the right portfolio of assets and the right vision to manage through this challenging climate while we continue to position ourselves for future growth."

For all you Bush Haters Maybe you need to learn the Truth about how things work. It takes 6years to see what the last President has done. Bill Clinton is the start of why we are in the mess we are in,look in the U.S. Arcrives if you don't belive me. He was happy about NAFTA he said in 1998 we will be in a better place in the Economy 10 years from now. Well the joke is on him.
Bush has had the worst things happen to him during his presidenciey. At least we were not attacked for the Second time. The war well some things we don't know about the government only tells us what they want
us to know. So before you say anything about Bush read the Arcrives. Blame is some on him yes but not all. Dem's are all about raising taxes and making laws and big lawsuits. They take more rights away everday. So when you have no rights left thank a Democrate. If you think they will keep our country safe ask the Service men and women who they would rather have a Democrate who lowerd their Hazard pay from $600 a month Extra to $200 i guess they feel their lives are only worth $200.
The news never reports any of that stuff they just report what they want to. Maybe if they told the truth about things people
would not be divided. Now we will see what the Obama is about I hope he does not have to go through all that Bush Did. What would you done, people got mad and said he was to slow to react well that is what his cabinet members are for, He was bashed for not acting fast enough on 9-11 When he did now he is a bad person well you can't have your cake and eat it too. I ask What would you have done. The media plays on people who don't read the Arcives and don't research things that are said, Well that is why we have the mess we have.

I was just watching "The Empire Strikes Back" when a commercial advertising an upcoming show with a "sexpert" who was exhibiting a sex toy was broadcasted.

You have the audacity to show this commerical while broadcasting "The Empire Strikes Back." A show in which you know will be watched by many families and children. This is simply shameful.

This is a bridge too far and I would request that you you remove this immediately.

I, Jesha Miller have Faxed Katie Couric & Sumner Redstone for coverage of my Petition to Impeach President Bush which is on Capital Hill awaiting to be taken to the Floor by Speaker-Nancy Pelosi. This is media bias & you have a responsibility to inform the public of corruption, a federal crime & the denial to the right of freedom by the U.S. Surpeme Court. I have executed my constitutional right # 925 to get this coverage but have been ignored. If I'm not contacted by 2-12-2008 I will file suit for refusing my constitutional right & aiding & abetting a criminal from justice.

FIRE IMUS! If Imus is not fired it can only get worse for women and blacks. Radio and television will only step up attacks on women and African Americans. Followed by gays, jews, democrats, arabs, American Indians, India Indians, the French, the fat, the poor, the handicapped, the retarded and and the genius see: Kurt Vonnegut! God rest his soul…

All those white men defending IMUS: DISGUSTING!

Americans black and white are sick to death of this garbage on radio and television.

Fire IMUS, MCGUIRK ROSENBERG, & CO!!

Find someone like Kurt Vonnegut for your radio stations. That would really be COOL!

Imus being fired is beyond obvious - He is a boorish multimillionaire who now has made the jobs of all american educators,teachers, principals, superintendents, and professors that much more difficult. It is a very hard job they have trying to get young people to respect each other. They need more resources not "sand in their eyes" from idiots like DON IMUS !

Oh spare me!! I am so SICK of whiny little snots acting so holier THAN about black 'role models' first of all if ANYBODY shows negative images of black people it's the media who are alwa**howing black males of accused of crimes but never shows white males. And how is that ANY different than white people who glorify and romancitize white male serial killers as well as white celebrities who leave a WHOLE lot to be desired like a certain no-talent slutbag,crackhead whore who recently died. Clean up your OWN back yards before you get preachy with others and by the way her name is Oprah and it's not for YOU to be telling us or anyone who their role models should be since you pick the WORST ones.

I unserstand you want to compete with You Tube and solve the Piracy problem once and for all. I have a network with great domains that can be remembered in a second. www.Drama.TV, www.Toon.TV, www.websode.TV. The sites are up and running and we have some 300 deals with advertisers that are performance based. THese sites are being programed for interactivity now and we have a great IT staff that is amazing. WE are willing to consider selling and these sites would instantly put this project 4 months ahead and begin making money instantly for a buyer of this size.

black entertainment TV shows too much poor contentent which stereotypes black people as gangsters and hoodlums. Recently they profiled a jailed gangster rather than a "Opera Winfrey" what the hell is that?? find more positive role models for the black youth today rather than "successful" gangsters!!
