I wonder if we could start the same type of boycott used against Ingram against Sinclair?

I realize they are all over the country but with some organization it could be done. Look at how well it worked for Ingram recently? She didn't loose her job but I bet she is a little less obnoxiously hurtful to people and Fox lost money. Also it was a way to spread how horrible she is to people who didn't know, and that included me because I never watched her

Someone gets a list of advertisers and people send tweets, emails, messages asking them to please stop advertising on that show because Sinclair spreads fake news and is hurting the American people because of it.

I hate the thought that every night unsuspecting people are being fed bullshit just so the wealthiest people in this country can continue to have their power and money.

Plus, and actually more important that that is these people who believe the fake news end up voting for republicans. Dangerous frigging republicans.

1. We won't watch the

exception of This Week. Other than that, we refuse to watch anything on KOMO here in western WA.

2. Don't just change the channel.

Talk about it openly and spread the word! Use every tool in the social media toolkit.

3. You could still write to the advertisers.

4. Didn't Ingraham's ratings go up as a result of the boycott?

I read that her ratings have increased between 25-36% across the demographics following the boycott in early April.

5. That is not what this article from Market Watch says.

A slew of companies has cut ties with Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show, but the bold action hasn’t swayed consumers’ perceptions of those brands either positively or negatively. Nearly a dozen major companies decided to pull their advertising after Ingraham derided Parkland, Fla. high school shooting survivor David Hogg in a tweet. The February high school shooting in Parkland left 17 people dead.

The boycott didn't have an affect on people's views of the companies, (whether or not they left). But that is not the real point of a boycott. The point it to take away ad money.
