"Will not watch Faux News again, either."

Please explain how that will help yourself or teach Fox some kind of lesson.

“Please explain how that will help yourself or teach Fox some kind of lesson.”

I will. There are these things called “ratings”. They’re done by counting the numbers of people who watch a given program or network and they seem to be very important to the organizations that sponsor the airtime. Each number is an individual household. Every household who clicks on a certain network or program is helping boost the ratings of said network or program. Every household that does not click on said network or program is doing nothing to further the agenda, ratings or perception of them. It’s very like what voting in an election used to be. Some people find that gratifying, especially since said network or program might offend their most valued principles.

Refusing to watch Fox helps me in many ways. It makes me feel good to deprive them of my support in any small way that I can. It also prevents blood from coming out of my “whatever” from watching the scum pat themselves on the back and skew the politics of an American election.

My one opinion and refusal to watch, however small, is joined by thousands and thousands of others who will make the same decision. This, hopefully, will teach Fox some kind of lesson. If it doesn’t, then the Devil and Liberals can take them.

Well if lots of others join him (I will) in not watching Foxnews then Foxnews will see a decline in their ratings, which translates into a decline in revenue. A decline in revenue will hurt them. See, that was not all that hard to figure out :)

Fox News knows exactly how many people are watching because the cable service providers like Comcast, Frontier, etc know which channels you are tuned in to.
