fox news boycott

Submitted by mom24 on August 11, 2009 - 10:15am

How about a petition THANKING those companies that withdrew commercial support ? If we get enough signatures they will see they indeed did the right thing and that the public will be more likely to purchase their products as a result. We all need to hear praise at one time or another and this would be a great opportunity to do so.

Kelly,
Thanks for your response. It’s much appreciated.
I guess that the only thing I’d like to add is that you might consider adding Bill O’Reilly to your list with Glenn Beck.
He is also a serious source of disinformation as well as the other “un-american” attitudes expressed below.

Thanks again for your time.

Regards,
Steve Gilbert

Dear Mr. Gilbert,

Thank you for your e-mail. We recognize your passion for this issue and want you to know that your e-mail has not gone unnoticed. Our advertising strategy has always been to have a presence on media channels where we believe do-it-yourself investors can be reached. This includes all of the major news networks, although we are not scheduled to air during Glenn Beck.

We are dedicated to providing honest and personal service to our customers and hope you find our response to your concern in that same manner.

Kind Regards,

Kelly Doria
Director of Public Relations
Scottrade, Inc.

Please stop advertising on Fox … their news lies about important subjects, hate mongers, is patently prejudice, insults our politic system, etc.
I am planning to boycott your service personally and in my business until you stop advertising with them.

fox news boycott

Why not ask any progressive minded person not to allow themselves to be interviewed by Fox News. Not that I have ever seen a true interview of a progressive ever done by Fox news (when oppressed by it in a Dr's office). I have no idea why anyone would even like to be berated by these supposed "reporters". The progressive can never get there point in anyways.
