I propose that we punish the FOX Network for its hatchet job on Sarah Palin.
For one week beginning at 3:00 PM today no one tunes them in. We will demonstrate the power of conservatives when their ratings plummet dramatically.
Will you join me?
Everyone always says they enjoy Brit Hume. Every time I have seen him, he is dry to boring, and doesn’t seem to be much of a conservative at all. I disagreed with every word he said after the 3rd debate.
I turned ‘em off for good around midnight Tuesday night. I’m going on a four year vacation from all of these morons.
***If you have Dish or Directv, they KNOW what you are watching***
Hey, if that’s true - then we can run up the ratings for EWTN!!
I recognized that sh!t-hole for what it was when they hired that @sshole Geraldo Rivera Jerry Rivers way back when.
That with all of this working to hurt Sarah Palin is the end for me.
I really think that God will step in and fight for her. He never rushes in.He is kind and sometimes He waits to let people show their worst. The time will come when He will move and when He does, I wonder how much power Fox News will have left.
I would not want to be in the shoes of all of those working to destroy Sarah Palin
Is this O’Riely???
Already started. Greta has been been pretty good this election cycle. I hate to see her get punished too, but a bandwagon is a bandwagon - and I’m jumping on.
Election night was the first time in 3 months I watched Fox news, and it will be the last for a long time.
In 2 years Juan Williams will be the conservative on the Sunday Morning roundtable.
Yup! Do that!
I am so “in”. Fox news used to be a haven for those of us who detest the MSM’s liberalism. Now they have abandoned us too for the sake of ratings and being “fair and balanced” (hurl)
I still like Fox and Friends, Megyn Kelly and Greta is better after she visited Sarah and decided she liked her.
Shep is a Lib, O’Reilly seems to be on the verge of going postal with power and “the round table” looks like they are either asleep or on downers.
Fox is no longer a quality news source. So where are we go go now?
I’ve had it with them, as I guess some of the rest of you have too.
Boycotting is a great idea but we also MUST pass on these comments! Does anyone have Brit’s email?
Let’s get some of the other talking heads contacts over there too.
And Carl Cameron? what a rat! Apparently he was in the tank for Odumbo all along! His rip on Sarah yesterday was disgusting.
‘...“undecided” voters in Frank Luntz’s “studies”....’
Week BEFORE the election, Luntz told O’Reilly he would tracking results to the end and ‘track the first 100 days to see if Obama would keep his promises.’
Made me furious, called and emailed Fox ...since Luntz had determined the election, guess the rest of us should stay home. And, Luntz should excuse himself when looking for ‘undecided’ people....apparently he had decided on Obama before the election was held.
I blocked the channel 11/4/08.
NO MORE FOX FOR ME!!!!
I havent watched FOX for about a month now and have no intention of watching it any time soon.
Funny, I was thinking about Fox this morning. They used to be the only place where you could get an unbiased report of the news, but about three months ago they must’ve made a policy change. Now they are more like SeeBS than just about anyone. I wonder if they decided that Zero was going to win and implement the Fairness Doctrine, so they becoma just another 0bama cheerleader.
I began my boycott after FOX took it upon themselves to try and censor Congressman Duncan Hunter and run him out of the primary race. I unsubscribed from their cable service, and I wrote every advertiser to tell them why, and why I would NEVER be back.
Fox is nothing but three extra letters floating in the bowl of rancid alphabet network soup, no better than ABC/CNN/See-BS/NBC and the rest of them.
We need an FR News Channel, that’s what we need.
I stopped watching t.v. period several days before the election. Not going back, I’m sick of all of them, Fox included.
“How did the media pick Maverick? “
Where were you in the primaries...? NY times endorsed McCAin. Letterman and all the pundits had him on at the exclusion of all the others except Rudy. McCain was below several of them, but he still got to future debates while others were eliminated.....and on and on...
What a bunch of turncoats you are. Don’t like what you hear, let’s boycott. Give me a break. You boycott your family members when they don’t agree with you or say something you don’t want to hear?”
You describe yourself as “center-right” and you blame Governor Palin on your home paqe, maybe you should stay out of conservative conversations for a while and just listen to what they have to say, maybe you’ll learn something.
Great Idea about the “cc”!!!! I’m on it.
Quit watching a lot of Fox since the third debate...haven’t turned them on at all since the day before the election...have no intention of turning them on for a very, very long time.....just like all the rest, now.
I’m with you. I’m also not going to click on foxnews.com for the week..or more!
The only reason I voted this year was because Palin was on the ticket. Fred was my man.

I do not watch any of the news media including FOX
strictly listen to the radio
>> I was surprised and very disappointed at Brit Hume and his panel on election night. They seemed, early on, to concede Obama won
Um ... he did. Once Penn and Ohio went, it was over.
>> [...] and they were downright giddy....silly.
They certainly were not giddy ... but they didn’t appear dejected either. Chris Wallace and Brit Hume are among the most professional reporters on the air in this country. And, the panel is largely conservative — Krauthammer, Barnes and Kristol wouldn’t have been “giddy” about an Obama victory. Kondrake is liberal, but pretty balanced. Juan Williams and the other lady are liberal.
I am not sure what you expected. Were they supposed to be flabbergasted, pissed off, upset, dejected? That wouldn’t be particularly professional ... no good analyst or reporter would act like the world has ended simply because of an election.
And, you know what ... life goes on. I refuse to spend the next 4 years angry.
H
Count me in also, I am done with tv except for HGTV, Animal Planet, Lost, 24 and stuff like that. My fingers will not touch news channels.
Count me in, though I started my personal boycott the night of McCain acceptance speech when BOR interviewed BHO.
AMEN! Thank you for your reply. I was going to write a long one, but heck you've save me the effort. You bet, FOX is not the only one who is reporting this and unlike one of the posters CNN has reported this also. What do they expect, FOX should IGNORE what is being said just cause they don't agree with it, or may make some of us angry? Surly we know not everyone at FOX is or should be a conservative. Talk about managing the news----guess it's different when we don't like what we hear.
Rabid FOX? Kicked that bad habit a long time ago.
It will be hard as I am such a news junkie, but I think I am with you. I have neglected my favorite cooking shows for too long.
If you say so.
SCREW FOX. Murdoch and his lefty son can both take a long walk of a short pier.
I just put the link to this thread on their “You Tip” inside the “Opinion” link. They will probably not even look at it.
I trust nothing political (or otherwise, save for perhaps sports) that shows up on the boob tube.
Between the federal government, the schools, and the media, the left is now basically in total control of the country.
What about Time Warner Cable?
One of the dumbest things I have ever read on FR.
Keith Olbermann, is that you?
If Carl Cameron hadn’t put it on the air, then it would have taken all of a nanosecond for the slimy McCain staffers to call Brian Ross at ABC or some reporter at CNN to have them get their message out.
Your “two minutes hate” should be directed at Nicole Wallace and any other McCain staffers who are making leaks to the press in order to publicly hurt Palin.
O’Reilly basically told Cameron this crap was a bunch of nonsense. So should we just boycott Cameron but not O’Reilly? How would that work? Oh wait, O’Reilly will say something we don’t like next week so then we’ll be boycotting him.
Hannity was pretty much the only one on any channel willing to go after The One for his radical past. So we are so supposed to boycott him for something Cameron reported?
Megyn Kelly is a jewel. We are supposed to boycott her for something Cameron reported?
Idiotic.
‘...Were they supposed to be flabbergasted, pissed off, upset, dejected? ..’
I expected them to be professional. I’ve been a fan of Brit Hume for a very long time....and I’m sad he’s retiring. Special Report is one of the shows I try not to miss. I enjoyed the show because I believed I learned from Brit’s objective reporting.
I didn’t say Brit and his panel were giddy because Obama was winning. Seemed they knew what the outcome would be.....as many did since, imho, this election was practically bought.....and just decided they would ‘have fun’ vs delivering serious reporting as they usually do.
Sorry if I offended your senses....but, at least for now..I’m entitled to my opinion. And, btw, I’m not angry....disgusted at the RNC maybe but, not angry.
O’REILLY changed his tune in favor Obama about 4 months ago. The attack yesterday to Palin was despicable. I was a fan of Fox, no anymore, I will keep seeing only Hamnity’s shows.
GREAT IDEA!!!! Let’s start a list of sponsors and times and post them here. I’m not “tecky” enough to do this but I would be willing to help any way I can.
I’m not sure how much Cable companies track, but the satellite companies do.
I said a couple of years ago that Fox had people from the dark side over there, especially on the weekends. You people yelled at me. I have been watching Fox sparingly (because there’s nothing else one can watch) for a long time.
For Sale: Custom designed Vest, with detonator cord and Fox News Logo on back, excellent condition.
FOX will join MSNBC, and CNN as blocked channels on my direct TV receiver. I am done with TV News. Don’t need em, don’t want em.
I am in. I only watched a minute Carl Cameron’s gossip from people who obviously dislike Sarah Palin. I just have one question for Carl. If Sarah Palin was a poor pick for McCain, whose fault is it?
Greta has done relatively well during the election, I’ll grant that.
The rest of them just grate on my nerves now. All the smiley faces are too much right now.
Besides, the slant got pretty bad, especially right before the election night coverage. I get stabbed in the back enough at work; I don’t need it from my tv set, too.
since PA was called for nObama. Tell me... who won?
It cannot be nObama... as I still have money in my pocket and bank account.
I already started. Right after McCain’s concession speech. I’m burned out after following this election for two years. I have no more interest in hearing the stupid opinions of the talking heads. I say we put them all out of business. I doubt they could survive with liberals alone. Half of them are watching Dancing with the Stars.
