Here's a crazy idea. STOP WATCHING FOX
Stop listening to the the Reich Wing Hate Machine.

What ever happened to the days when their shit was confined to low power AM radio stations in the South? When did we start giving these idiots a voice?

Stop giving me the excuse of "enemy research". Just stop listening to this shit.

Dear Democratic Whitehouse, Congress, and Senate,
The Reich Wing Haters want you dead. Not just out of power, a job, or favor, but they want you DEAD! Please give them the same credence you give the wackjobs who speak of alien abductions on late night AM radio. No one checks with George Noory or Alex Jones before making a decision, nor should they.

2. Exactly
They are weird, AM radio talkers who spout nonsense, and are not consulted by government officials.

12. Of course they are not consulted by government officials
Because government officials are trying to hide the truths they are uncovering! From Area 51, to HAARP, to remote viewing, the government has a lot to hide!

And there are a lot of people who will believe anything.

3. Never have. Never will.
I sat for 5 minutes before I had to turn it off. That was just Cavuto!

5. I remember back in the 80's telling Mrs WCGreen that Cavuto was
such a douche bag when he would give little right wind commentaries while sitting at the desk on the Financial Network that morphed into CNBC. She couldn't understand why I disliked the man so much....

9. Cavuto makes me puke.
That smarmy little face, that whiny little voice - I'm a pacifist type, but I would love to punch Cavuto right in the face. He is perhaps the most annoying person on Fox "News" (perhaps - there are so many contenders, including the emetic Megyn Kelly).

Shep Smith is the only person on that network that I can stand to watch. The rest are all puffed-up jackasses and fat-lipped blonde bimbos. Who needs 'em?

6. I have never even seen most of the people so wonderfully described in
these forums...I don't even know what Hannity looks like, have only seen Beck and ORielly on pics here or clips on MSNBC...

I have had enough bullshit in my life, and don't require any in my living room.
The only thing I EVER watch on ANY Fox channel is football games.

7. OH no you have to go there every once in a while
to see who and what they are pouncing on. Most of us sane Americans know they are a pack of liars and don't stay long and don't believe them. But you are correct other than hearing someone say their name other than O'Reilly, Hannity and Beck oh and Sheppard I dont' know the names of any of the daily spewers. You have to know the names I mentioned because stuff they say is posted in the news regularly.

8. Same way you listen to Rush
His show is cleverly aimed towards liberals/progressives so that they can gouge their eyes out, kick the cat, and elevate their blood pressure when he says something like:

Doctor of Democracy
America's Truth Detector
All-Knowing, All-Seeing Maharushi
America's Anchor Man
Harmless Little Fuzzball

I really think the guy goes over the top to keep and hold his liberal/progressive audience.

If he just droned on with his conservative spiel, liberals/progressive would quit listening.

10. Same way *you* listen to Rush, perhaps.
I wouldn't want to waste my beautiful mind listening to a pus wart. Regardless of what drips out of it.

11. I haven't watched Fox News in 7 years now.
Of course, we don't have it, but even when we did, it didn't take me long to figure out they are full of shit and not worth watching.

14. WE are not the issue.... the issue is the millions of people that DO watch Fox

Middle class whites.

Unless you want to concede all of the middle class white vote to the GOP, and I mean all of it, we have to work to get THEM to turn off Fox.

15. Yes, that is correct
But one way to do it is to request it be changed at every restaurant, hotel, newstand and bar where we see it on.

18. It is hard not to watch fox directly or indirectly
Faux because of its market share of audience can drive stories. Other networks thus pick up on their stories and report and expand on them. If you don't cover a faux BIG STORY, then they will come back and cover your non-coverage of their story. You are thus forced either to cover the original story, or waste news time covering why their story isn't news. Either way you add exposure of the story itself. Thus even if you don't watch fox itself you end up watching their story lines.
