RE: Fox News - When push comes to shove?
   

 
Is now the time to up the ante up and start a push to boycott all advertisers, not just on the Glen Beck show, but all time slots?

I don't see this as a free speech issue but one of truth in advertising especially when it comes to the slogan "Fair and Balanced."

It would be one thing if FOX came straight out and said they have a conservative and ideological slant and admit to reporting from that angle. I'd be fine with that. But they really cross the line with the out-and-out promoting of the teabaggers and 9/12 events. A news organization has no business manufacturing discord while reporting it then calling themselves a journalism outlet, PERIOD.

SOCIALISM BAD. CAPITALISM GOOD. The Fox mantra.

Wouldn't it be a delicious irony if the system of capitalism turned out to be the one thing able to reveal Fox for what it is? Use the free market system to withdraw financial support to companies that support FOX. Your basic rule of Supply (propaganda) and Demand (no, thank you, and here's why). Would anyone step in to aid a failing network? I know Rupert is richer than God but who would be willing to come to their aid?

All I want say to Fox and Friends is, I don't want to take away your freedom of speech, just stop pretending your a news organization and tell me the real reasons behind the things you say.

And, by the way, the fact that other news organizations are coming to the defense of Fox just makes me question their integrity as well.

DU Adbot rocks!  These idiots floor me with their hypocrisy.  Then again, they could always try to start a website, something like quarantineFox.com.  It would be very successful.

It is based on fact as proved by voting records.

Never have I heard a conservative suggest they should be "shut down".

Nope, I've never wanted them shut down, just for them to admit it.

I don't see this as a free speech issue ...

Obviously.  Free speech is something you want for yourself and not for others.  It would be one thing if you came out and admitted that's what you believe, but there's no doubt that you do, and you cross the line when you call for those opposed to your POV to be silenced.

Quote from:
A news organization has no business manufacturing discord while reporting it then calling themselves a journalism outlet, PERIOD.

And yet ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, PBS, and all the major newspapers have been doing that for decades now, and you've said nothing.  You've automatically removed yourself and your stupid opinion from being seriously considered based upon your lack of balance and perspective.
 
The primitives are mental midgets wishing for their Marxist utopia and dreaming of killing those who dare to show both sides of the argument.

What DUmmies, including the jug-eared muslim, hate most about Fox News is their enormous audience. DUmmies know that MSNBC, with moonbat lunatics from top to bottom in prime time, doesn't draw flies. Keef and the carpetmuncher, along with Ed and Tingle Boy, play to themselves and a handful of DUmmies. Fox has huge audiences, several times larger than the moonbat channel, during every time slot. So far more people use a news source that doesn't kowtow to the muslim and every socialist idea that comes along, and DUmmies hate that. Of course the broadcast networks are as far left as the moonbat channel, and have bigger audiences than Fox, but their democrat news shows are confined to a half-hour each evening.

I see Fox's advertising revenue falling by 2, maybe 3 cents, total....

THE funniest thing will be when word of this "boycott" gets out, Fox's advertisers will see a HUGH increase in business....

BTW, how is the DUmmie website concerning Fox News doing?  Has he even renewed the domain name?

The thought has never crossed my mind.  I cannot stand the MSNBC line-up.  I think they lie more then they tell the truth.  But not once have I ever considered the possibility that they be shut down.

DUmmies can bitch and scream all they want about how conservatives are enemies of the Constitution, but all one has to do is look at stuff like this to know the truth.
