To break my no FOX pledge, or not?
I have been boycotting FNC since before the war started. Should I break it to watch the debate or wait for it to run on CSpan. I really want to watch but is it worth me legitimizing FNC as a news channel?

Anyone else in this quandry? What are you all doing?

1. Watch the debate - boycott the sponsors.

4. It's OK to watch FAUX
It costs them mucho bucks to provide the programming. Go for it.

While you're there note who their biggest sponsors are. Then boycott them every chance you get. (I haven't bought Exxon gas since the Valdez).

How would you know who to boycott if you didn't check in every once in a while. B-)

5. Watch
FOX will never know the difference.
-or-
Better yet, watch and write them a letter telling them
that you did'nt and why.

6. Fox hasn't
polluted my airwaves since the shrub was appointed by the Supreme court. I was having the same debate with myself...should I watch or not? I read some good points here and I will watch and boycott the sponsors, but will not ever watch Faux again, unless there's another Dem debate. It will KILL me to tune them in! I will though. :-(

8. So will cspan carry it at a later date?
I would gladly continue my boycott, if I can see the debate later...

9. If you have cable
you are already paying for it. I'm happy enough with what I get free with my rabbit ears.
