Tea Party Group Boycotts Fox – For Going Too Far to the Left!

This very weekend, gentle reader, a group of Tea Party activists is boycotting Fox News because they think it’s gone soft, especially since the last election.

The boycott, which lasts till tomorrow morning according to this article (h/t Headly) is linked to a group that runs a blog called Benghazi Truth! Send the message to FOX, the blogger exhorts. TURN HARD RIGHT -Benghazi, birth certificate - all of it, 24/7, like a serious news organization going after a politician which has always been the job of the media -or just go away.

I haven’t read through all of the blog's interminable prose (though I note the writer is a big Alice in Wonderland fan and I wonder what Freud would think of that), but it's obvious that Fox's saturation outrage manufacture investigative reporting on "Benghazi-gate" hasn't been enough for these dedicated conservatives. They have other reasons for being critical of Fox, such as donating to more Democrats than Republicans. “We need Fox to turn right,” said a boycott participant. “We think (Benghazi) is a coverup and Fox is aiding and abetting it. This is the way Hitler started taking over Germany, by managing and manipulating the news media.”

Will not continue to be elected. Received email this morning complaining about Chris Christi and how bad he was in hugging Obama after Sandy. If it sounds crazy then they are for it. The Democrats need to present decent candidates and then we might be able to straighten this country back to sanity.
