From our article accompanying the Press Release:

FOX-News caters to those who seek refuge from the nauseating reek of the pit. Wow, what a market straddle! What a two-headed money machine.

But Murdoch has forgotten Von Clauswitz' treatise On War and the nature of vulnerability. Decent folk who constitute the bulk of FOX-News viewers will have no direct influence over FOX-Sleaze. But they do have significant influence over FOX-News.

...turn OFF the network for three full days a week until Murdoch cancels "Skin", including the two weeks following the cancellation to seal the deal.

The intent is to soak up ad revenue well beyond that which FOX-Sleaze will generate from "Skin". The viewers will survive the disconnect. They will exert their influence on Rupert Murdoch's empire of sleaze and no damage will come to their favorite conservative programs. ...If they will not deny themselves their conservative feel-good shows for a few days, they are not as tough as they think. What they should keep in mind is that while depriving FOX-News of revenue, the mega-buck celebrities will suffer nothing but the satisfying revelation that many of their viewers actually do put principle before gain. The target is Murdoch; the revenue is his.

Nope, not going to do it. I lived too long without FOX to do ANYTHING that will endanger it or give a victory to CNN. They are two different things. Boycott FOX broadcast, but don't take it out on the good people at FOXNews.
