“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.
If each and every Kamikaze Conservative makes the same decision, it will not be noticed be the "ratings" apparatus. The surge to FOX News by many of the newcomers in those 24 million viewers will more than cover your petty protest.
Far better to keep your friends close and your enemies even closer. Burying your head in the ground will not accomplish much more than getting dirt in your nose.
