Dear activists, colleagues, and friends,

To laugh at the ridiculousness, to scream at the outrageous or to... Well fox went to new lows in their analysis of Petraeus' testimony last week. When our friends at Media Matters let us know that they had 7 to 1 analysts in favor of escalation, it was hard to believe, even for FOX! 22 minutes supporting the escalation and only 3 and half against it. They went to such great lengths, they even cut away to Ann Coulter when Democrats questioned Petraeus!

Bill had an idea to show all this in 90 seconds, so he and Jonathan jumped right into it. Then we argued amongst ourselves for two days about what we should do about it? What could we ask, encourage, motivate folks to do. Yelling at the TV screen not being a desired option.

So we throw the question to you, our activists and media observers. What should be done about FOX? And given this ridiculous imbalance, should we encourage liberals and Democrats to stop going on FOX until the rules are fair, the deck is not stacked?

Give us your thoughts…

3. There is only one thing that will move FOX

Their viewer numbers have to decline dramatically. As long as they are taking in advertising dollars they are going to continue running the way they have been. As long as they have viewers advertisers are going to continue giving them those dollars. The only way to stop them is to get people to stop watching it. The people that run this channel are profiteers first and political second. If they start losing money they will turn on their party in a heartbeat I think. When CNN, MSNBC, CSPAN, and PBS all have higher ratings and viewers, the FOX stockholders will demand a change in format.
