Already did. I don’t watch ANY news now. At all. Haven’t for nearly a year. Not only am I better off for it, my stress level dropped by at LEAST half!

They are all part of the system, and that system gave us Barak Obama. Not goin back to that crap.

I have listened to Rush for many years, off and on. FOX news came to town and I switched to cable only when they became part of the basic service like Direct TV. Hannity and O’Reilly dominated my TV. My wife came to hate FOX tv, it was always on.

During the debates on whom should be the Republican contender for president, FOX tv decided to marginalize Duncan Hunter. Hannity and O’Reilly told us they were only mentioning the 3 top prospects. Duncan Hunter was not one of them. Duncan Hunter at the time was one of the 3 prospects with delegates. FOX tv and the GOP dropped him from the debates.

During that time only Glenn Beck gave Duncan Hunter a voice. No one else. Glenn Beck had Duncan Hunter on for a full hour.

If FOX wants me back they will bring on Glenn Beck and Rush. I have had it with weasels like Hannity and O’Reilly.

The problem with FOX is that they are pandering to people that truly want fair and balanced. We conservatives want the truth. We demand fair and balanced, good or bad. Give us the facts and let us make our decisions.

I agree with all my heart! I just hope and pray that Fox gets what’s coming to them, how can they do this to her?

It will be hard for me to to boycott Fox as I haven't watched Fox in at least 5 years. I got so tired of the flash and wiz bang graphics and sounds, Shep's over the top reporting and finally H&C shouting matches. Fox represents, as the other MSM outlets, the worst in news reporting.

I agree, your all being turncoats. Ive NEVER liked Fox News but now it seems all those who backed it so hard as ‘fair and balanced’ are wanting it shut down. Why? Because your hearing things you don't like. Fox has been notorious for skewing things towards the right. When they finally have negative news on someone from the right you all want a ‘boycott’. Is this highschool? GROW UP.

Greta has spent almost her entire show sticking up for Palin the last couple of days. She seems to find Campaign Carl’s repetition of petty, snarky rumors without sources rather reprehensible.

O’Reilly on the other hand is just condescendingly reminding his audience that his is a “news” program (except when it’s a commentary) and that since Carl is reporting it, it must be “news” and therefore open season. He sort of stood up for Palin in his talking points, and I use “sort of” rather loosely.

This thread would do really well at Daily Koz.
They think this is a great idea.
They even have the artwork ready...



... so I'm definitely against it. That said, If I were Brit Hume ... I'd be leaving as well ;o)

At least stick with Greta van Sustern (10pm ET, FNC)... she LOVES Sarah Palin and is/has been defending her honor BIG TIME.

Greta is on her way back to Alaska... she just scored the first post-election interview with our Sarah. It will be nice to see what Sarah is *really* like without the McCain handlers/buffoons constraining her...

Well, it looks like I now have a reason to watch Fox News other than Megan Kelly’s legs.

Did any of you consider, maybe, just for a second, that the FNC story was accurate and Sarah Palin isn't the goddess some of you think she is?

I agree with this boycott. I’m sick of FOX parroting liberal propaganda as it always does; more than any other network, it’s been in the tank for Hussein since day 1. I’m going to switch to CNN which is at least honest with its viewers.

At some point, we’re going to need a radical overhaul of the Media we have today. When Barack Obama crashes and burns in 2012, and we can have a Conservative President, we’re going to have to start giving the media a tax increase every time they say something blatantly untrue. Of course, they’ll probably go out of business this way, but it’ll at least make them stop pandering to the Left. Best of all, it’ll make our taxes go down!

Fox News is going to be particularly tricky to deal with, as I like Bill O Reilly (even though he’s an Independent), Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, and Michelle Malkin. However, the rest of the news station needs to be replaced.
