We have lived for three years without TV and Cable. The internet supplies what we really want on demand. It really frees up your mind.

Carl Cameron and Shep Smith

Are they a couple? Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I have not watched FOX for a long time and a long time before that I stopped watching the rest of the MSM.

I did not know I was part of a boycott. Thank you for letting me know.

Personally I have boycotted all network and cable news cast since Tuesday and will probably not watch again anytime soon. Now I may watch the Palin interview with Greta but not before and not after. I refuse to take the reporters view of things any longer. That's just my view on things.

“FOXNEWS Greta Van Susteren obtains first post election interview with Gov. Palin...”

Do we have permission to watch Gretta's interview?

I went to fox News.com and tried to find an email address for Carl Cameron there was none shown however there was a article on Carl by another reporter at fox after I added my 2 cents worth I read the comments there was 57 pages of them I stopped at page 4. Most are hate messages by Liberals. I refuse to change stations as I know the others lie like a rug and need my news daily. However Greta may get to the crux of the situation and I await their showing of the interview. Bill O Reilly is getting too big for his britches if he was a real reporter he would get of his NY Zzz and fly to Alaska and get a interview with Gov Sarah instead of saying if she came here I would give her air time. Hey Bill the reporter goes to the story not the way you think

It is extremely rare that I watch TV anyway. If there is a show I want to watch, I download it.

I have done the same. I didn't spend much time here on FR before the election, because I was on other websites and forums trying to educate the ignorant. Now there is not much point in that. I will be getting my news here on FR and from some talk radio hosts.

Money does talk, btw. Seth MacFarlane of Family Guy was asked
how Rupert Murdoch deals with someone like him, being on the opposite site of the political spectrum. MacFarlane replied
that “the regular Fox channel and Fox News may as well be
two separate companies” and he added “he doesn’t mind my
politics because Rupert is a businessman first and a Republican second”. In other words, if people love the
Bush-bashing Peter Griffin on Family Guy and he gets
ratings/money, Rupert’s fine with it.

Thus, a boycott can also work. Take away their ratings
and their income and...Money does talk.

Fox News: Fair and Balanced or Fair and Bought?

Roger L. Simon has posted on a very disturbing piece in The Middle East Online, about the influence of Fox shareholder Saudi Prince al-Walid bin Talal on Fox News Channel coverage of the Middle East, Israel and Muslim violence.

Heck...not only has fox been turned off, our TV has barely been on this week. It is a good feeling.
