Boycott FoxNews, and Other Stupid Freepishness

[Stingo]

FoxNews has been the target of a boycott from the generously whacked folks over at Free Republic since Thursday when Carl Cameron reported on Sarah Palin’s ignorance concerning the “country of Africa.” No word on whether the boycott is working, but they’re also campaigning to send Palin mash notes and flowers. Pathetic.

3. Freeper in my 'hood

"Democrats used to be Americans."

If they want to hold their breath and pout, let 'em. gonna be a long eight years, though.

10. Maybe they'll hold their breath til....

5. Wheee!

[Demobrat]

7. Good. Maybe they'll start watching real news.

There was some dumbass on there this morning shrieking on, and I do mean shrieking, about how the stock market decline over the past couple of days is in response to Obama's election. LIke the bank failures, terrible earnings reports, worst auto sales in years, etc. are totally irrelevant. I usually never watch Fox, but if this is the kind of crap their viewers are subjected to on a daily basis it's no wonder they spout jaw-droppingly ignorant talking points every time they open their pieholes. Now I know where they get them.

9. I considered that at first, but it won't happen

they'll continue to read the same places where FOX gets its "news" reports, like Drudge, Rush, etc., and if they think FOX is liberal, why would they think the other corporate news orgs are less so?

8. As the great Don Marquis once said

If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; but if you really make them think they'll hate you.

11. Soon, The Only News Outlets

Acceptable to Free Republic will be Whirled Nuts Daily and New Smax. Then they'll get news they can trust. Yeah...that's the ticket.

12. Weekly World News won't appeal?
