Boycott of FOX
Vanity | 11-06-08 | Veritas 2002

Posted on 11/06/2008 10:07:54 AM PST by veritas2002

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?

If you say so.

SCREW FOX. Murdoch and his lefty son can both take a long walk of a short pier.

It’s only news if Fox chooses to carry the story.

This isn't so - the story's being reported on multiple news outlets.

Gee, the MSM didn’t think that all the sleeziness surrounding Obama was news, so they just didn’t carry it.

And thereby discredited themselves and turned themselves into propaganda outlets for Obama's campaign. It's nice to see that Fox isn't doing this for either side - their business is to report news, not to stifle it.

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.

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.

With remarks like those made on the Brokaw/Rose tapes, it reinforces my belief that the media ELITES are just ordinary people who really do not know a whole lot. These self-important ELITES are the same people who pilloried Sarah because she did not talk the way folks inside the Beltway or NYC.

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.

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.

I have not watched any news... 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.

News organizations are supposed to cover news — and the McCain camp dissing Palin is news. Like it or not — and I do not like the story — Fox has an obligation to cover it. And I would rather have the weasels in the McCain camp known for what they are.

Free Republic, Drudge, Talk Radio and the NY Post do it for me!
