There has been an overwhelming response to the call to BOYCOTT FOX because of their trashing of Sarah Palin on their various programs, especially by Carl Cameron and Shep Smith.
The one-week BOYCOTT began yesterday - Thursday, at 3:00 PM EST. While some of you remarked that you had already tuned them out, many of you agreed to begin doing so.
To broaden the BOYCOTT, post this on as many conservative blogs that you can. The Nielsen ratings might not relfect the BOYCOTT but you can be sure that FOX's sponsors will not be happy, and it's all about money baby.
After the ratings tumble all the other hosts on FOX will be putting pressure on Cameron and any others to cease becoming part of the 'drive-by media' crowd.
So far over 15,000 have viewed the call for the BOYCOTT!
I'm with you. I'll probably watch coverage of some major disaster or something, and I'll watch the business news, but I'm giving serious thought to becoming one of those people I meet who say, 'I don't follow politics.' To hell w/the reporters, to hell w/news channels. I've got FR and other sites. I've got the History and Discovery Channel. I've got Mike Rowe for eye candy.
Maybe by not spending so much time watching cable news, I'll get more work done.
You know I have spent the last couple of days thinking about this. I think you are right. We should all 100% cut off Fox News.
What they did was inexcusable...anonymous and rumor...O’Reilly has the balls to call it news.
Why didn’t O’Reilly talk about how bad Obama’s plane smelled? That wasn’t rumor...nor was it anonymous...a pool reporter told that from their own personal experience.
I am still shaking my head...
Good to hear, but I expect an apology.
Ailes knows what works and will continue to do what does best for him.
I did vote. For McCain and a I am quite active, thank you.

Happy to do that. Where do we find a list?

I just kinda pictured you on the couch...”yawning.” Sorry. I think I get what you mean now.
Why stop at a week? I’ve tuned out everything news related on television. Screw them.
I switched off all news at 8p.m. on Tuesday evening, just as Sen. McCain was coming on stage to make his concession speech. Have not watched news since.
Damn straight...shut them all off...
Gald we could clear it up.
Well I heard on RUSH yesterday that now “cnn money” is telling everyone that since the election we are no longer heading toward a recession. We may not be able to trust them either. They have got to help build up their “dear leader” obama.
“Greta Van Susteren is going to be doing the 1st interview with Governor Palin and none on this thread that are boycotting FOX will be able to watch it. I mean if they do then they’d be hypocritical wouldn’t they?”
Where do you get hypocritical? We’re boycotting FOX in this house. Specifically tuning out the blowhard trio of Geraldo, Shep, and BOR — the panel — and anything to do with Carl Cameron from now on -— is the focus of our boycott.
But we won’t punish Greta, Sean, and Cavuto. Any advertisers can be told of our support of them and have their ads in those spots.
I don’t like gossip and I’m disgusted with the biased coverage of anyone conservative - and I don’t purchase magazines of any sort for that reason. I won’t even read them in the docs office.
What’s more, I’ll give my viewership time to any of the alphabets if they do a real interview of Sarah and other conservatives, and not an edited hatchet job and/or gotcha questions.
You should be dropping your support for YouTube and their socialist-supporting management as well.
Much appreciated!
I removed Fox from my favorite channels. I no longer channel surf through Fox. Screw ‘em.
FG can be a good show but he’s definitely to the left
and lets people know.
