Okay, I'm not one who knows crap about organizing people or any of that stuff, that's why I'm hoping someone else here is.

I and millions of others MUST be fed up with Fox News. After seeing O'Reilly tonight, already trying to make excuses and continue to demonize us democrats....going on with "we're a center-RIGHT country" just several moments ago......saying the only reason Obama won was because of the economy....

I've had it, and I'm seriously pissed off. We haven't even been given a chance to prove ourselves, and they're already spewing their propaganda about Obama's upcoming administration.

When am I going to see people actually start forming protests at Fox News headquarters and marching.

It's time that Fox News pays for their propaganda operation. We need to SHOW them and show the country that Fox News is a hate-spreading offensive poisonous organization that is NOT there to report the news but to spread their propaganda and advance their political agenda to divide us.

Come on. There's plenty of hard evidence about Fox. Everyone knows it, but we need to do something as in protesting with signs at the Fox "News" HQ.

These next 4/8 years will be our chance to let the uninformed public that they are NOT "fair and balanced" in any way.

We have to expose and embarass them now that we the people are in charge.

This needs to be more than good ole Keith, who awesomely just proclaimed Bill O'Reilly doesn't matter anymore.

Because the problem is, he does!! Why? Because he and his propaganda are still actively hoodwinking and poisoning... yes POISONING the not-so-smart portion of our country.

Who is with me? What are we going to do? When is it going to be done?

I want Fox News shut down. We need CNN to actually start reporting on their laughable "news".

It is not enough that we "far leftists" (as we're labeled) just simply ignore them and encourage others to do the same.

When are more people with bigger reputations than Keith that will actually affect mainstream America call Fox News out on all of their hate? When?

2. It's fine to run a channel. But if you're going to run a so-called news channel...

If you're going to spew propaganda and lies especially when you claim to be fair and balanced, and blah blah blah, you need to get your ass shut down.

At the very least, the truth needs to get out there about them! Well it's already out there, but it needs to spread FAR and WIDE.

The truth.

P.S. It's not time to sympathize with them because well they should be allowed to pass off propaganda as news. It's time to stand up against them. This is one fight we don't need to fight against each other over.

7. I'm against censorship too! That is exactly the problem!
Fox News has censored the truth for too long.

I can't go to any small town newspaper web sites (even here in my county that went blue) with seeing comments repeating the talking points that they get from Fox News

I'm against censorship! I'm just saying Fox News is not NEWS. I don't care how hard they try to make people believe they are.

Fairness doctrine is right!!!
