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!

    Inciting violence, hatred, intolerance, and passing partial truth as truth is NOT for prime time viewing. It's deserving of a creepy little room on the internet where children cannot easily access.

    I'm officially fed up with the over the top, outright hate speech this network spews out chronically. They've not been subtle lately with inciting violence against the president, against other public servants, and have no problem distorting news. They've figured out how to target a loyal customer base that is easy to persuade. They don't care at all what happens to our country, other than their ratings$ I'm not singling out any particular infotainment personality, I'm referring to the entire fox news corp. The entire network is a disease to the security of this country. Unfortunately there's just too many people who cannot tell this is not actual journalism. So please quit supporting this network. Otherwise I WILL be checking to see if you still advertise and I WILL no longer patronize your business.

    What ever happened to reporting real news, without the hateful political agenda? Enough of the propoganda! It's no wonder half the country has no idea what's really going on in the world!

    I will not support any company that continues to torture non-human animals, not any that advertise on Fox News. Journalists are supposed to be impartial. They should not imbue their interviews and news stories with their own views or agendas. Fox News does not employ journalists; they should call it what it is: editorials and propoganda that aim to alarm the people into going back to a time when Inquisitions led to the torture and murder of anyone who did not conform to a select group's criteria.

    This isn't about Democrat vs. Republican. It's about just reporting the NEWS. No personal agendas, no sensationalism, no fake crying to get ratings, no protests to skew the views.

    Fox News and commentators -especially O'Reilly, Limbaugh and Beck - are over the top. They don't listen to reason but spout lies, bigotry and hatred. I support a more rational, tolerant and truthful vision for America and hope you will too!!!

    Fox is not news. If they continue to air they need to call it something else entirely. Perhaps Fox: Opinions Not Facts!

    Yesterday, Sara Palin announced, "it's wonderful to be a part of a place [Fox] that so values fair and balanced news." Clearly their actions (bullying, lying, and pushing dangerous, racist propaganda) are incongruous with their values ('fair and balanced news'). I am boycotting all companies that advertise on this undemocratic, morally repugnant behemoth and urge you to spend your advertising dollars elsewhere.

    I resent people who have the ability to reach a large group of people using their personal opionions and beliefs to try to pursuade others. Especially when he stretch the truth do do it.

    FOX news doesnt report the news....it makes up the news. If they couldnt use the term "some say" they couldnt even broadcast for an hour. The minute I or my friends see a new advertisor on Fox news.....we stop buying their products.
