Sign: "Don't FOX with local news" Petition
http://www.freepress.net/action/foxnews

Fox News Channel's political agenda is coming to a local television station near you.

Roger Ailes, the architect behind the right-wing tilt of cable news, is now remaking 35 local television stations -- broadcasting to nearly 40 percent of America’s homes -- in Fox News Channel’s image.

Tell News Corp., local stations and Congress: “Don’t Fox with my local news!”

Ailes plans to replace local news with the biased infotainment that’s a hallmark of Fox News Channel. He has moved oversight of the local station group to Fox News headquarters in New York. He has flown in local news personalities for retraining on how to deliver the news Fox-style.

7. When you are in a public place that is showing FOX news
ask politely for the channel to be changed.
