Win or Lose: Dems should boycott Fox News

[placton]

No one can predict what will happen tomorrow. Hopefully, it will be a Kerry landslide, with us taking back at least 1 house of Congress.

Whatever the outcome, we need to do one thing: marginalize Faux News. When you look at what we were able to do with Sinclair, you see we have the power to do something necessary.

I suggest the following:
-no Dem ever goes on Fox. We lose absolutely nothing - the people who watch are idiots, and the propaganda is so endemic that we cannot get out our message anyway
-we keep up an ongoing economic boycott; there is already a channel that I will never watch again, as it's owned by Sinclair. We can go after advertisers, who only care about money - and together, we have a lot of money
-we must on all levels (letters to the editor, ads, discussions locally and nationally) repeat the mantra that Fox sucks.

We will likely never wean the weenies (like my brother in law) who love Fox and all it stands for. We need to go after their money, and to reduce the neutral folks who watch Fox 'cuz they think it's a news channel.

1. Media is next on the slate, after a short rest...

[Nordic]

19. EXACTLY. That is plan #2

And that is what I will be doing.

Once Kerry's in we can relax a little bit and start fighting the other fights that need to be fought.

If we don't, we'll have more Bushcos in the wings.

2. When Kerry wins, RWers should boycott all cable news

Because of how "liberal" it is. Boycott, boycott, boycott...

[featherman]

3. I NEVER watch Murdoch's RW crap network

but I will tomorrow night...just for a bit... around the time OHIO goes to Kerry

[BamaBecky]

5. I don't watch that network either - Gives me a toothache!

not even tomorrow - unless I have no choice in the matter

17. I don't even know what channel Faux is on my dish.

But I might find out so I can watch them implode.

[VOX]

4. Absolutely. Into the flush-file goes Faux...

And then let's see about a return to the Fairness Doctrine! :grr:

[July]

7. Who watches Fox? nt

[Willy Lee]

8. I never watch fox news but what about the Simpsons?

They are on my local fox channel.

(I would give even Homer and Bart up if it would hurt Mr. Effing Murdoch!)

[Maiden England]

9. I usually don't watch it

but I may be tempted to view the coverage of Kerry's acceptance speech and Bushes concedence on Fox, for sheer entertainment value of course

[high density]

10. I don't think we watch it anyway

And I generally avoid News Corp whenever I can.

[Say_What]

11. I wouldn't watch FUX NOOOZ if you paid me.

:argh:

[Chovexani]

12. What Dem in their right mind watches Faux?

I've watched maybe a grand total of 5 minutes of Faux since the channel was launched. And that's just from surfing past it.

[Tenenbomb]

13. Media

Can anyone show me one media outlet that is not bias? Really if you boycott any bias media you should just toss your tv out the window.

[Swamp Rat]

15. Did you toss yours out?

[movie_girl99]

14. i've never watched Fox news

and damn proud of it.

[Ima]

16. After Kerry Wins

I do think we should contact their advertisers like we did Sinclair.We have to get news stations to tell the truth.

No more lies!

18. But

it helps us see all that is wrong with the country. I like getting into the psyche of the insane to see what we needs to be done to eliminate insanity.

20. I agree with you

...I like to see what the enemy is up to. Same reason I check Drudge once in a while. Although I have to admit I have never sat through Fox News. Once in a while I will check Hannity and Colmes to see Hannity make a fool out of himself.
