In the coming days, many of us will be spending time with family and close friends. You might find yourself in a house with Fox News on the TV, or you might find yourself in the company of a family member who likes to talk about the "truth" coming from Fox. You could also be with folks who understand the damage Fox does, but haven’t heard about this campaign. Any of these could be a great opportunity to talk about why you don’t watch Fox and why you’re part of the movement to get it turned off in public places. And if you have any good conversations, let us know.
There's no need to be confrontational. The person you’re talking with may not be receptive to what you have to say — and that’s ok. But you might be surprised. This is about sharing your concerns and beliefs, and hearing the thoughts of someone you love. When people are approached respectfully by someone they like and trust, it creates space for them to think and change.
Here are some pointers:
Remain calm. The point here isn't to start an argument — it's to share information. Even though some people may be hostile to what you have to say, keeping your cool can help defuse tense situations and make even skeptics receptive to what you have to say.
To the Libs they only recognize two political schools of thought: Theirs and anyone to the right of them is a Conservative right wing nut case.
I recall seeing Fox News at a McDonalds ... in Utah :)
Right after the 2000 Presidential election, some Democrat pundit or politician made the statement that the reason Bush won was “Fox News allowed the Republicans to get their message out.”
What next? Are they going to try to stop us from saying "Merry Christmas" at our Christmas parties?
When someone says "Happy Holidays" to me, I respond "And Happy Holy Days to you."
Really tics some people off.
I think the R is a typo...it’s supposed to be an F.
Did you guess he worked for MoveOn? Poor thing. He does not have a clue as to what real life America is like.
I just wrote in there that I started the conversation with relatives, but that they argued back and got me to watch Fox, and that now I kind of like it.
LOL

I’m surprised the author failed to describe the time-honored method of sticking one’s index fingers in ones ears and humming...
Well Frank Luntz is coming on with a focus group in real time.

Sounds like one of those LGBT things.
What I find amusing is that a few years ago, I went with my professional organization to do some lobbying on Capitol Hill & every EVERY office we visited had FNC on. We visited two Republicans that day (Santorum & Melissa Hart, former House member who lost to doughty Jason Altmire). So that means the Dems watch FNC, too. These people are so full of crap they stink. They know Fox is the only channel that actually has real stories. They just want to public to be uninformed.
This is right out of the Alinsky playbook. Start by organizing your friends and relatives. You could give all of them a copy of Mao’s little red book or Rules for Radicals. If you are successful, your little nephew might develop into a full fledged leftist radical, maybe even a community organizer, and from there the possibilities are endless.
“If they state something untrue, you can and should offer facts to correct the record when you can”
He must mean the facts supplied by MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, Stewart, Colbert, Michael Moore, etc.
Colorofchange.org - hmmmm, isn’t that one of Van Jones’ favorite groups?
The libtards take themselves off the air by losing ratings, and they lose ratings because they continually lie to their audiences as they shill for their communist, America-hating Democrat party. Fox News came out of nowhere and quickly blew away the Democrat newsrooms. There's a reason for this - - Americans hunger for the truth, and for the first time a news organization came along to offer exactly that.
The verdict of the public is obvious and the evidence is clear, but mice like Rucker simply lack the capacity to deal with it and so their only recourse is to lie to themselves!
Courage!
When someone in a business says “Happy Holidays” to me, I respond “Merry Christmas” and most of the times they reply, “Merry Christmas” with a big smile.
Depending on the clinic you are at, the Naval Hospital might have cartoon channel, Fox News, or CNN on. Seems to depend on the patient's preference. Besides, the one time that I had to watch MSNBC, my blood pressure wasn't too good. :-)
