You’re right.
I think the best plan is to target the advertisers. Since it’s hard to keep track of all the advertisers, I’d start with the biggest advertiser and work my way down the list. First we’d need links to the advertiser’s email, so we can send them an email and explain why we are not supporting them. Then we need to make good on the threat. But why just FOX? Surely the rest of them deserve even greater scorn. I’d target any business that advertises on any biased news show. I think that would be all of them, as far as I can tell.
Personally, I view Fox as the Fox in sheeps clothing. I can’t believe they are behind this, but I really think MSNBC should be the first target.That place is nothing but pure hatred. There is nothing redeeming there at all. We need a few people who are good at organizing things.
We can use some volunteers to actually watch MSNBC, especially the shows they run from 6pm to 10pm and write down the names of every company that advertises there. I know there won’t be many people raising their hands to do that. We need others to find ways to contact these companies and we need somewhere to put this information so everyone can find it and launch an all out attack.We need others to pass the information around to other pro Palin sites and supporters to get as many people involved as possible.Then we actually have to send the emails, make the calls and write the letters. Every day for as long as it takes for something to happen.When it does, we move to the next one and the next one.
Boycotts can work with newspapers and magazines. Of course boycotting something you don’t read or buy isn’t going to do anything.I don’t think US magazine has bashed Sarah since that stupid issue they ran a couple of months back.
If someone out there can set up a website or blog to get the ball rolling, count me in as far as helping out.
Of course I expect the usual negative responses, but if you don’t want to help, don’t but don’t belittle or discourage those who do.
