There should be massive protests outside of Fox News in NYC so those idiots have to worry when going in and out of their building. These people are so fearful, that this would really bother them.

of people here in the U.S. and worldwide are against hate. The many hate outlets show how hard the righties have to work and that's in our favor. Stay safe.

*Do we choose peaceful protest or violent? That's one big consideration.

so they would be considered irrelevant to ad revenues.

in part, to make those that see you as irrelevant understand just how relevant you are

should have change as its ultimate goal. In the case of a right-wing radio station, a protest would probably have no chance of causing a change. Radio stations have audiences and make money by selling ads that appeal to those audiences. Beyond that, they don't really care if non-listeners don't like the station, so no change happens.

Protest for effect. That's my advice.
