Liberals Going After Fox Advertisers

Breitbart.com ^ | Jul 27 | DAVID BAUDER

The advertisers care about one thing and one thing only...ratings. Fox is beating the crap out of CNN,PMSNBC, etc. so the advertisers know where their bread is buttered.

Bunch of Lib BS again.

> They need to get their posterior kicked to Cleveland.

Please no, we’ve got enough of ‘em here already, we don’t need anymore!.

[kadeeu]

dailykos is claiming through an email posting that Lowes buckled to their pressure an won’t advertise on O’Reilly’s show anymore. DIY shopping just got a little easier.

What a bunch of idiots. Wait until they watch FoxNews...make their list...and realize that the same big advertisers are also advertising on Olberman and CNN and their precious liberal news agencies.

They’ll not be able to boycott Fox News advertisers without hurting the same advertisers who have ads on the networks and shows that support their own point of view.

This is like removing all the food in your house to starve your roommate in the spirit of revenge...only to starve right along with him because there won’t be any food in the house for you to eat either.

[Mike Darancette]

I’ve seen CNN and MSNBC and ABC advertise on Fox.

Hey, FRiend—see post #28.

I came up with a better idea.

[Still Thinking]

Pravda on the Hudson.

You know, I know the MSM is liberal. I don’t watch them anymore. But I have to say I watched a brief portion of Olberman the other night and was just stunned at what a vitriolic attack he made on the President— name-calling and the works. I thought, you know, Fox is accused of being Conservative, but I get pissed at times with some of the reporting they do. But it is because they present BOTH sides. To a liberal, any news outlet that presents the right’s side is ultra-right. Any news outlet that presents the left side ONLY is normal.

re: #5

They alread have three 'Pravdas' -- they are known here in the US as the New Yoirk Times, The Washington Post, and the LA Times -- plus numersous 'baby Pravdas' all over the place.

[Turret Gunner A20]

Those guys aren’t liberals, they’re leftist nutroots.

Who can tell the difference these days? the nutroots have dirtied up the title "Liberal" just like the queers have totally degraded the word "Gay".

[Enchante]

True, Olbermann is simply unreal in the levels of his vitriolic biased rants. I’ve only watched him a few times while channel surfing, but I cannot believe how any network can allow such unmitigated drivel without even a pretence of objectivity and fairness.

fwiw, for all the leftist rants against FoxNews, their ‘news’ programming is far more balanced overall than the liberal networks, i.e., you will just about always get a sense of what the ‘RATs actually said, in their own terms. FoxNews has plenty of liberal voices, in fact it’s not at all conservative — it’s just that the left goes utterly psychotic if they cannot completely control the information flow so they hate FoxNews with blinding fury. The ‘opinion’ shows such as O’Reilly, H & C, etc. are explicitly presented as editorial, not straight news reporting. Even so, Hannity is balanced by Colmes, and O’Reilly goes out of his way to bring on opposing and dissenting viewpoints and give them a fair hearing. I’m not a big fan of either Hannity or O’Reilly, I find them both tedious, but the left-wing onslaught against them is simply demented ..... wildly irrational.

"We're not trying to silence anybody," Green said. "Rush Limbaugh has a right to be on the air—he admits his point of view. Fox doesn't."

The United States Constitution

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
or abridging <insert>The Divine Right of Adam Green and MoveOn.org as the sole arbitors of</insert> the freedom of speech, or of the press;
or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

FIXED IT!

"We're not trying to silence anybody," Green said. "Rush Limbaugh has a right to be on the air—he admits his point of view. Fox doesn't."

So, I'm confused, is Adam Green saying,
that in his interpretation of The First Amendment,
that anyone who claims to be objective
yet has an unadmitted "point of view"
should be subject to boycot?

[my_pointy_head_is_sharp]

MoveOn.org is campaigning against Fox because it says the network characterizes itself as a fair news network when it consistently favors a conservative point of view

Why don't these hypocrites go after CNN, NBC, CBS, or ABC? Those networks consistently favor a liberal point of view. Oh, I see, only blatantly conservative views are to be targeted, not blatantly liberal views. Truthfully, FOX News is not all that conservative. I frequently have to change the channel because it's too sleazy.

PS: Love the compassion these guys ask for when they want to put everyone they disagree with on the unemployment line.

These morons won’t be happy until they have a monopoly on all the news outlets. Why don’t they start their own newspaper, and call it Pravda.

Until Fox News channel, they DID have a monopoly, and that's really pissed them off. Of course, FOX is really quite balanced and neutral in a lot of ways, but compared to these raving moonbats, you would think that FOX was channeling Barry Goldwater!

[eyedigress]

I’d like to see the moonbats try to boycott Proctor and Gamble or ConAgra or such. Their idea of a boycott is probably Burger King.

[sport]

If that is true, I have spent my last dollar at Lowes. And I have spent a bunch of them there over the years.

In fact, I am going to check if this is true.

[bert]

Been there done that

Th article above could have been taken straight from the Free Republic Archives.

We ( the Media Chapter)suceeded in getting Proctor and Gamble to reduce their dds for 90 days, but in the end , no real effect.
