Fox News is refusing to run an ad from a progressive group that highlights how President Trump will benefit from his tax cut plan.
The ad part of a six-figure buy by Not One Penny, a group devoted to working toward ensuring that millionaires, billionaires, and wealthy corporations dont receive even one penny in tax cuts notes that while Trump claims to tell it like it is, he refuses to explain why hes championing a tax plan that contains more than a billion dollars of goodies for his family.
When its time for Trump to explain why his tax plan gives a big cut to the wealthy including lucrative breaks for golf course owners and cuts for rich heirs, all worth more than a billion dollars for Trump and his family why is this president suddenly at a loss for words? the ads narrator asks.

And the corrupt network that goes around and says that it is fair and balanced

We need to hit them in the pocketbook hard.
Help me out: IS THIS NOT A REASONABLE ENDEAVOR?

(15,650 posts)know how would start promoting this. It needs to be more than just the typical short-term, run of the mill consumer boycott. It would need to have massive visibility and staying power in order to have any real impact.
It needs to directly hurt and influence 21st Century Fox stock holders and mutual funds that hold that stock.
Is there anyone here at DU who has connections and know how (and obviously thinks this would have any merit) who can advise on how toi help make this happen.
We just gotta do something. The Federal Government/Congress certainly won't ... and aren't about to bring back the Fairness Doctrine.
