Media Matters: It's time to drop Fox.
   


http://mediamatters.org/action/dropfox /

Form at link!

"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."

Selected Fox News Advertisers:

* JP Morgan Chase & Co
* GEICO (Berkshire Hathaway)
* Zurich Financial
* Chrysler
* Direct Holdings Americas, Inc (Time-Life)
* GlaxoSmithKline
* AstraZeneca
* Lilly Corporate Center
* BP
* The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc.

Yeah, those companies are going to pull their advertising from the TV channel with the highest number of viewers. And from what I'm sure, also has the largest percentage of higher income viewers too.

Yep...they are going to do that tomorrow.

Just because a bunch of progressives want them to.....

Now if we could just get them to stop advertising on ABC, NBC, CBS.

For Friday, from TVbythenumbers.com:

Quote
5PM – P2+ (25-54)
Glenn Beck – 2,190,000 viewers (567,000)
Situation Room—350,000 viewers (105,000)
Hardball w/ C. Matthews – 646,000 viewers (159,000)
Showbiz Tonight — 122,000 viewers (54,000)
  Last 3 total 1,118K. 

No business in their right mind would pay the slightest attention to any of this baloney from MM.  They simply do not matter.  And besides, it would be fiscally irresponsible to the shareholders to buckle to such demands.  FNC is where the eyeballs are.  Suck it, DUmmies, you have no power whatsoever.

The only thing any logical business should direct at piddly ass mouthpieces like MM, HuffPo, MSNBC, etc is laughter. In mass quantities. Sympathy would be too much to ask. But pulling advertising wouldn't. At least in my view.
