Boycott FOX News Advertisers

Target: FOX News Advertisers
Sponsored by: Democrats.com
FOX News has always been the propaganda arm of the Republican Party, willing to twist facts and even lie to promote the Republican agenda.

But the election of President Obama in 2008 pushed FOX News into outright hate-mongering and incitement of violence, which is intolerable in a democracy. Here are some examples:

  • 6/30/09 Glenn Beck agreed with guest who urged bin Laden to attack U.S. with nuclear weapons: "The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States. Because it's going to take a grassroots, bottom-up pressure, because these politicians prize their office, prize the praise of the media and the Europeans. Only -- it's an absurd situation. Again, only Osama can execute an attack which will force Americans to demand that their government protect them effectively, consistently, and with as much violence as necessary."
  • 7/25/09 Neil Cavuto and guest said health care reform will impose universal euthanasia like "Soylent Green."
  • 7/28/09 Glenn Beck called President Obama a racist: "The President has exposed himself as a guy ... over and over and over again ... who has a deep-seated hatred for white people ... or the white culture... This man is a racist."
  • 8/6/09 Glenn Beck "joked" about giving Speaker Pelosi a glass of wine with poison.

    Dear FOX News Advertiser,

    I am writing to inform you that I will not purchase your products as long as you advertise on FOX News.

    FOX News does not broadcast news, it broadcasts Republican propaganda, lies, hatred, and incitement to violence - including violence against American citizens, Democratic leaders, and President Obama.

    The worst offenders are Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity, whose shows are broadcast in prime time to large audiences.

    Your advertising dollars are helping FOX News poison the minds of Americans and destroy our democracy.

    I urge you to immediately stop advertising on FOX News.
    We signed the “Boycott FOX News Advertisers” petition!

    Fox News is ALL LIES all the time. Fox News is only an advertisement for right-wing-nut ideas meant to drum up unwitting support for WEALTH care schemes and elect those who will only represent great wealth. It is clear to get by you need to advertise to those unable to see truth, Fox is your baby. Fox is all lies all the time, ads too.

    It's now November, and with Lou Dobbs' official announcement to leave CNN; Hannity's use of old footage to make the Republican's Anti-Health Care bill rally look bigger, I am taking this boycott seriously. This station needs to go down. Hopefully the Simpsons will find a new home.

    I really don't like fox news. That program is garbage and a waste of space we desperately need real news and not distractions.

    Fox news is not good for our country. I thought the goal of good news was to be unbiased.

    Time to start voting with our dollars. The fear- and hate-mongering that Fox "News" serves up is unsafe for human consumption and its financial supporters should be shunned in the same way that purveyors of a known-to-be tainted food product would be.

    FOX IS NEITHER FAIR OR BALANCED BUT BIAS AND RACE BAITING. WHAT HAPPENED TO HANNITY AND COLMES? NOW IT'S JUST HANNITY SPEWING LIES AND PROPANGDA.

    Balanced and unbiased reporting should be the role of the news. I have been horrified to hear the one sided ranting and witch-hunt sounding pieces I've seen on Fox news. It's terrifying to think of this information being a primary source of the facts for average Americans. Please join in a push for balanced and well researched news reporting.
