Take action against Fox advertisers

  In July, Bill O'Reilly and his supporters took action against jetblue for sponsoring the Yearly Kos Convention, and in the end scared the company into dropping its spot.

If the 'fair and balanced' personalities over at Fox can scare sponsors into steering clear of a people-powered convention, then you and I can do the same to Rupert Murdoch.

The Blue State is joining alongside MoveOn.org and DailyKos to encourage every single blog reader to write an email to companies that advertise on Fox news.  All it takes is just a few minutes.  For example, try emailing Home Depot, which is a heavy advertiser on Fox.  Tell them you will boycott their company because it funds unfair and unbalanced news personalities that are hurting our country:

• Home Depot > Write to Paul Raines, Executive Vice President

I am focusing on Home Depot because they are a national company.  But I encourage all of you to call, email or write to local advertisers, since they are the most likely to change course.

If this is not a big issue to you, then don't do anything.  But if you think Fox News is hurting America and want to do something about it, then this is an effective way to take action.  Join us in this effort!

Positive word of mouth or blog postings about the joys of shopping at Lowes would hit Home Depot also.

Jeez, the only objection I have to that idea is that I'd have to WATCH Fox to determine who the advertisers are... Yuk.

If you have a dvr its easier to stomach. Most people use a dvr to avoid commercials! lol.

Actually, I watch Fox to get a good laugh. It usually does the trick -- especially today when Newt was on.
