The National Organization for Women (NOW) is targeting one of the four major networks for protests by naming it a "Network of Shame."  As part of NOW's Watch Out, Listen Up! campaign, teams of feminist analysts across the country rated primetime programs on ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC by documenting incidents of violence, gender composition/stereotypes, sexual exploitation and social responsibility.  NOW President Patricia Ireland will release the results at a demonstration in New York City's Bryant Park on Monday, May 22, 2000 at 12 noon.  NOW will also recognize the network with the highest marks as a "Primetime Leader."
