Skewering the Faux Spew once again...

Ya know, someone really ought to yank their broadcasting license...

Not only should Democrats boycott Fox Spews, they should listen to their constituency (sign the MoveOn.org petition)...

out of the Dem house. They don't deserve our viewership to raise their ratings during one of the toughest times in history. They should be shut out like they and right wing radio did to us. Negative crap spilled out against us like the exocist chick.

I'll say it again you don't reward bad behavior with good things. Imagine all the money they stand to make with sponsors and such. Is any going to the Democrats? Hell no.

Shut em' out and

Kick FOX to the CURVE!

...personally...

I watch Fox...I don't recognize the clips that you posted on that YouTube clip.

...personally, most of my left-leaning friends don't watch Fox anyway...however, calling for a boycott will only encourage people to watch it (it's the American way). I think you should encourage the major news networks to use vocabulary and report the news in a way that does not show their emotion toward a topic/story. The whole point of Fox's existence is that the major news networks have isolated people who look for objectivity in news reporting. That alone is the reason why Fox is so popular. Logic would tell you that the viewerships would tip away from Fox if the majors would be intellectually honest, objective, and fair about the stories that make the cut.

While you you may not like what the conservatives have to say on Fox b/c it gets under your skin...you have to admit the majors don't generally open discussion between both sides of an issue...they always have a con and lib represented on the set when the opinions count. THAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT. If you call for a ban of dems/libs on that station, then you are taking them out of the game to convince anyone that your opinion is even worth hearing.

You can think what you want of me for disapproving of your tactics, but Fox is more in touch with their clientel than CBS, NBC, and ABC...and they are paying the price.

Thanks for your opinion, but I must disagree.

Freeze 'em out, starve the beast. They've begging for Obama to make nice. Dems need to play hardball with the fascists at FOX, the entire corporatist media for that matter.

 In other words, no "reality-based" coverage, NO ACCESS!

Your rationalization of why

Your rationalization of why FAUX News is "so popular," is so full of holes it could be used as a sieve for separating flyshit from pepper.

People watch FAUX for the same reasons they listen to Limbaugh and watch reality television: entertainment. Murdoch stumbled upon that fact, and has used it to spread his ultra right-wing neoconservative "theology" through sheer corporate muscle. By employing confrontational and bigoted "reporters," their entertainment value overshadows the real intent of the so-called "news" network.

Calling for a boycott of an organization founded upon lies, distortion, and bullying (i.e. Limbaugh tactics) is the most direct and logical method of countering their propaganda. "Fair and blanaced?" Not by any stretch of the imagination.

Now why don't you just toodle off and go back to Free Republic and freep away amongst your own "dittohead" kind...?

dee,dee,dee

You have a right to your assumptions. I like to listen to the drum of the people, not some conservative think tank, that only knows what they are dictated to learn about a people in another country, built on
"Faux" media intelligence.
