It's time to drop Fox (petition to advertisers)

http://site.pfaw.org/site/PageServer?pagename=DropFox&autologin=true

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:

2. No thanks.
While I think fox news is scummy beyond belief and never watch it, I don't want to use the force of a boycott to advertisers to force other people not to watch. Feel free to sign the petition, I won't.
