It's time to drop Fox (petition to advertisers)
   

http://site.pfaw.org/site/PageServer?pagename=DropFox&a...

It's time to drop Fox.

"I believe no responsible company should advertise on Fox News due to its recent and on-going deplorable conduct."

Dear Fox Advertiser,

I agree with Tides Foundation CEO Drummond Pike:

"Businesses that pay to broadcast commercials on Fox News are subsidizing Glenn Beck's television show by continuing to pump money into the network. It has become clear that the only way to stop supporting Beck is to stop supporting Fox News.

"I respectfully request that you bring this matter of your company's sponsorship of hate speech leading to violence to the attention of your fellow directors as soon as possible. I believe no responsible company should advertise on Fox News due to its recent and on-going deplorable conduct."

Signed:

Poor DUmmies still believe they can stop Faux Snooze.
I am sure advertisers will stop buying air time on the highest rated cable news network that is watched by people who generally have money and buy the products being shown.

The only thing I don't like about Fox News are their all too frequent advertisements. Other than that, what have they done that is so wrong?? Speak the truth?? The DUmmies need to get a life!! At least Fox isn't in the pocket of ANY political Party, unlike PMSNBC, ABC, CBS & CNN.......

There are lots of channels that I have no interest in. I just use this new invention called the remote to skip by them. Maybe we should let the goons know about this new invention.  :-)

What recent and on-going deplorable conduct are they complaining about this time?

The fact that Fox news exists is enough.

Glenn Beck has been hammering home the ties between Soros, this Drummond Pike and all the other miscreants that want to see socialism take over the US.  The DUmmies are just being their usual "useless idiot" selves and doing Pike's bidding for his personal war against Beck.

Beck has been pretty scary lately.
We all hope he is wrong but, at least we can have some idea of what may be coming.

Yes. The last couple of weeks have been scary indeed. Let's hope he's wrong. But, I don't think he'd throw himself out like that.
I didn't know George Soros has been to the White House 4 times already? :censored:

Unfortunately, I don't think he is wrong.  These connections between The Tides Foundation, Joyce Foundation, Soros, and others were known during the primaries for the  presidency. I was reading about a lot of this stuff on some of the Chicago news blogs at the time, but it never hit the national media.

No I meant I hope he is wrong about where the economy is heading.
Inflation $53 loaves of bread etc.

I'm fairly certain he is right about the Tides foundation, Soros, etc.

It's not like he is making this stuff up. I will say one thing for Beck he does his homework.
Granted even he can't say for certain that all this will happen it just looks like we are heading that way.

Fox is the most watched cable news channel by far! DUmmies are so delusional if they think they can make Fox disappear.  :lmao:

Beck has some very interesting thoughts, but he's not a financial analyst either.   Some of them are talking about there being a real possibility of sliding back into recession after we thought that 'Double dip' was successfully behind us, based on GDP projections and some other data.  At this point I'd have to say opinion is all over the map from hyperinflation to second wave of recession.
