Media Matters letter campaign to advertizers: "It's time to drop Fox."
http://mediamatters.org/action/dropfox/

It's time to drop Fox.

"I believe no responsible company should advertise on Fox News due to its recent and on-going deplorable conduct."

Dear Fox Advertiser,

I agree with Tides Foundation CEO Drummond Pike:

"Businesses that pay to broadcast commercials on Fox News are subsidizing Glenn Beck's television show by continuing to pump money into the network. It has become clear that the only way to stop supporting Beck is to stop supporting Fox News.

"I respectfully request that you bring this matter of your company's sponsorship of hate speech leading to violence to the attention of your fellow directors as soon as possible. I believe no responsible company should advertise on Fox News due to its recent and on-going deplorable conduct."

Signed,

1. Recent conduct?
how about conduct for its entire existence? But on another point, hopefully this campaign works, nothing will kill a TV channel faster then a lack of advertisment.

3. I'd love to see this succeed - they are only in business for the money - remove that,
and they will be gone.
