I propose that we punish the FOX Network for its hatchet job on Sarah Palin.
For one week beginning at 3:00 PM today no one tunes them in. We will demonstrate the power of conservatives when their ratings plummet dramatically.
Will you join me?
I am so “in”. Fox news used to be a haven for those of us who detest the MSM’s liberalism. Now they have abandoned us too for the sake of ratings and being “fair and balanced” (hurl)
I still like Fox and Friends, Megyn Kelly and Greta is better after she visited Sarah and decided she liked her.
Shep is a Lib, O’Reilly seems to be on the verge of going postal with power and “the round table” looks like they are either asleep or on downers.
Fox is no longer a quality news source. So where are we go go now?
I’ve had it with them, as I guess some of the rest of you have too.
Boycotting is a great idea but we also MUST pass on these comments! Does anyone have Brit’s email?
Let’s get some of the other talking heads contacts over there too.
And Carl Cameron? what a rat! Apparently he was in the tank for Odumbo all along! His rip on Sarah yesterday was disgusting.
‘...“undecided” voters in Frank Luntz’s “studies”....’
Week BEFORE the election, Luntz told O’Reilly he would tracking results to the end and ‘track the first 100 days to see if Obama would keep his promises.’
Made me furious, called and emailed Fox ...since Luntz had determined the election, guess the rest of us should stay home. And, Luntz should excuse himself when looking for ‘undecided’ people....apparently he had decided on Obama before the election was held.
I blocked the channel 11/4/08.
NO MORE FOX FOR ME!!!!
I havent watched FOX for about a month now and have no intention of watching it any time soon.
Funny, I was thinking about Fox this morning. They used to be the only place where you could get an unbiased report of the news, but about three months ago they must’ve made a policy change. Now they are more like SeeBS than just about anyone. I wonder if they decided that Zero was going to win and implement the Fairness Doctrine, so they becoma just another 0bama cheerleader.
I began my boycott after FOX took it upon themselves to try and censor Congressman Duncan Hunter and run him out of the primary race. I unsubscribed from their cable service, and I wrote every advertiser to tell them why, and why I would NEVER be back.
Fox is nothing but three extra letters floating in the bowl of rancid alphabet network soup, no better than ABC/CNN/See-BS/NBC and the rest of them.
We need an FR News Channel, that’s what we need.
I stopped watching t.v. period several days before the election. Not going back, I’m sick of all of them, Fox included.
“How did the media pick Maverick? “
Where were you in the primaries...? NY times endorsed McCAin. Letterman and all the pundits had him on at the exclusion of all the others except Rudy. McCain was below several of them, but he still got to future debates while others were eliminated.....and on and on...
What a bunch of turncoats you are. Don’t like what you hear, let’s boycott. Give me a break. You boycott your family members when they don’t agree with you or say something you don’t want to hear?”
You describe yourself as “center-right” and you blame Governor Palin on your home paqe, maybe you should stay out of conservative conversations for a while and just listen to what they have to say, maybe you’ll learn something.
Great Idea about the “cc”!!!! I’m on it.
Quit watching a lot of Fox since the third debate...haven’t turned them on at all since the day before the election...have no intention of turning them on for a very, very long time.....just like all the rest, now.
I’m with you. I’m also not going to click on foxnews.com for the week..or more!
The only reason I voted this year was because Palin was on the ticket. Fred was my man.

I do not watch any of the news media including FOX
strictly listen to the radio
>> I was surprised and very disappointed at Brit Hume and his panel on election night. They seemed, early on, to concede Obama won
Um ... he did. Once Penn and Ohio went, it was over.
>> [...] and they were downright giddy....silly.
They certainly were not giddy ... but they didn’t appear dejected either. Chris Wallace and Brit Hume are among the most professional reporters on the air in this country. And, the panel is largely conservative — Krauthammer, Barnes and Kristol wouldn’t have been “giddy” about an Obama victory. Kondrake is liberal, but pretty balanced. Juan Williams and the other lady are liberal.
I am not sure what you expected. Were they supposed to be flabbergasted, pissed off, upset, dejected? That wouldn’t be particularly professional ... no good analyst or reporter would act like the world has ended simply because of an election.
And, you know what ... life goes on. I refuse to spend the next 4 years angry.

Count me in also, I am done with tv except for HGTV, Animal Planet, Lost, 24 and stuff like that. My fingers will not touch news channels.
Count me in, though I started my personal boycott the night of McCain acceptance speech when BOR interviewed BHO.
AMEN! Thank you for your reply. I was going to write a long one, but heck you've save me the effort. You bet, FOX is not the only one who is reporting this and unlike one of the posters CNN has reported this also. What do they expect, FOX should IGNORE what is being said just cause they don't agree with it, or may make some of us angry? Surly we know not everyone at FOX is or should be a conservative. Talk about managing the news----guess it's different when we don't like what we hear.
Rabid FOX? Kicked that bad habit a long time ago.
It will be hard as I am such a news junkie, but I think I am with you. I have neglected my favorite cooking shows for too long.
