Just the facts. We’re often tempted to use inflammatory language when describing Fox News and their tactics — "evil" or "racist," for example. But think of the impact that this language might have on someone you’re trying to win over to your point of view. Does the fact that they watch Fox News make them "evil" or "racist"? Better to stick to the facts by describing what Fox News Channel does — stoking racial fear, helping to spread dangerous conspiracy theories, and distorting the truth. You can refer to our flyer "The Case Against Fox" for a few examples of what Fox News does, and the impact of their actions.

Listen to what others have to say. If you want to be listened to, then you should also be willing to listen to others' perspectives. If they state something untrue, you can and should offer facts to correct the record when you can — but not until after they've finished their thought. And remember, the point isn’t to get into an argument or even prove that you're correct. It's to share your point of view.

Offer more information. If the folks you talk to are interested in learning more about our campaign, just have them check out TurnOffFox.org. They can sign up for the campaign at that website. The holiday season provides a unique opportunity to help more people understand what Fox is, how it poisons national discourse, and what role everyday people can play in stopping the damage.

After you have these conversations (even with those who already understand the issue), we would love to hear how they went. Tell us about it by clicking the link below:

Thanks and Happy Holidays!

OK, I admit I keep tabs on these guys just to see what they are up to. Can you believe how incrediably afraid they are of freedome of information and how little they think of the people that are on their side. The above e-mail was sent by one James Rucker. Here is his e-mail address:

CNN, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, and CNBC are all on in public at different places. CNN is on in every airport and some hotels only carry CNN.

Imagine the depth of depravity a person would have to have reached, to think one voice of opposition was verging on the criminal.

Doesn’t this qualify as some sort of mental illness? It would have to be at least one manifestation of a real problem.

If anyone is that ill-mannered in my home, they will be thrown out, family or not.
We don’t need such bossy, nanny-statist clap-trap at our family gatherings. And the will would be changed the next morning.

I think color of change tried to do the boycott against either BOR or Beck. They're just flat evil. And I've never, ever seen Fox news played in a public place. Have you?

FNC is far more RINO/neocon that it is conservative.

Fox isn’t right all the time, but they do tell both sides to an arguement. Whenever I watch the other news programs I have to quickly change the channel or end up throwing something through it.

Is it any wonder liberals have the reputation of being killjoys, buzzkills, and those things no one wants to see floating in a punchbowl? Thankfully, I don't have to worry about this at my family's Christmas. For those who do:

Thank God we are who we are. We will have seven adults and seven children with us this Christmas. Of these fourteen, thirteen watch Fox all the time and the other one, a screaming liberal, does watch it about half and half with CNN. Surprisingly he complains that CNN is too biased.

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.”

I’m surprised the author failed to describe the time-honored method of sticking one’s index fingers in ones ears and humming...
