I sent the following to
newsmanager@foxnews.com
Dear News Manager:
I have watched and listened to Alan Colmes and his mindless
rehashing of liberal talking points ever since he was Sean Hannity’s
co-host. I don’t think I’ve ever agreed with any of his positions, but
his recent comment regarding Rick Santorum’s “taking
his dead baby home to play with” is so beyond the pale
that I am now wondering if the protections afforded by
the First Amendment should apply to him.
Like most conservatives, I watch FOX as the only
sane alternative to the networks, CNN and MSNBC.
And I understand that in order to remain “fair and balanced,”
you feel obligated to provide a forum which allows
liberals and conservatives to debate issues. All well and good,
unless the liberals you choose are so vitriolic, so hateful,
and so venomous that they do not deserve air time.
I am joining the swelling ranks of thinking Americans who
will be boycotting your station until you sever all ties with
that disgusting creature. The next time I see him on your network
will be the last time I watch your network. I now get 95% of my
information from the Internet. I can easily make it 100%.
Great letter. Now if 100,000 other FReepers send a similar email, FOX may get rid of Colmes.
Well done! Can I copy your letter? I want to say the same things, and this would be a great way to do it.
Why not make it a petition, Truth? “FIRE ALAN COLMES”
Thanks for the Fox link. I also sent them an angry letter. Remind them that we will NOT be buying from their sponsors.
This was one of the worst comments on the public airwaves I’ve ever heard. This troll needs to LOSE his job / appearances on that channel. He needs SHUNNING big time.
You can call me a nappy headed ho all day long, but don’t you DARE mock how I grieve my dead child!!!!!!!!
"My wife and I have watched Fox News for many years; mostly because it is the only television news outlet that tries to be 'fair and balanced'. While I take that description with a grain of salt, what with your ever expanding parade of liberal-to-socialist commentators and pundits, I have to say Mr. Alan Colmes made even the most rabid socialist seem tame by comparison.
"His comments regarding the Santorum family and the death of their newborn child in 1996 was not only crude, but heartless, inhumane, despicable and not worthy consumption. To be honest, I've never liked the smarmy little man, but this simply puts to life the suspicions I have had about him; regardless of what others such as Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly try to hype as his "kind" personality. The man is evil.
"I'm going to be cutting back on my Fox News exposure. I'm not happy with various other programs such as Special Report, Sheperd Smith, O'Reilly and Hannity, but this has gone beyond the pale. Not only that, but I'm going to take second looks at sponsors who continue to advertise on Fox News should your station, and it's brain-dead management, continue to employ this worthless wretch of human garbage.
"Your call. Either have a human gene in your bodies or go with the monsters among us.
"With all the respect that's due,
"bcsco"
Thanks for the link. I sent a short but to the point e-mail that I will not watch FOX as long as that idiot is on the payroll.
I just “borrowed” and sent too. Thanks.
