I had enough...I deleted Fox News Channel from my TV. Please join me!!!

[HPD]

That's right. I don't need to hear what the other side is thinking anymore. I am done with their smear campaign, their hate campaign. I know they won't notice. But regardless, others should join me. Now when I surf through the channels, Fox News will not pop up!!!

THEY DON'T EXIST!!!

It feels good.

[PDJane]

1. I don't have a TV........

so fox's existence hasn't been an issue. Otherwise, I would be on your side.......

[quispismanna]

27. I plan to quit tv when everything goes digital in Feb.2009

I think it's cool that there are people who don't watch that crap. It's not essential and actually prevents us from doing other beneficial activities.

[quidam56]

30. I do have a TV and love watching Fox Noise,

It's funnier than an episode of Will & Grace, gosh darn it.

Sean Hannity's America sure ain't my America ! President Obama's administration will not, I repeat NOT cause THE COAL INDUSTRY to go bankrupt. After they blow the mountain tops off, polluting our air, water, land, home, heritage getting every dime and dollar they can, leaving a third world Appalachia looking more like Darfur than Dubai and the THE COAL INDUSTRY files for bankruptcy so no one will be held responsible for the toxic mess left in their wake. http://www.wisecountyissues.com

2. I deleted cable from my TV in 2003

and to this day I don't miss it.

You're right. It feels good. :)

[KurtNYC]

9. I turned in my cable box for good last Thursday

Cable here is $68/month (for basic) and with sites like:

www.hulu.com

who needs a bill?

[ixion]

15. exactly... why pay for all that garbage and noise?

When I want to watch something, I watch a movie or a documentary, sans commercials. Not only is it more enjoyable without the interruptions, but get the time back you would otherwise lose to commercials.

A one-hour show is actually 45 minutes long, which means you lose 15 minutes an hour to garbage. No thanks.

[meegbear]

3. I have Fox, Fox Reality Channel and Fox Business Channel locked ...

and it's not 0000 or 1234 to unlock it, so I get the blocked message and the option to enter in the code. I hit the next channel button

[rocktivity]

12. There's a Fox REALITY channel?

I don't know whether to

:scared: or :rofl:
rocknation

[meegbear]

20. Yes, 24 hours of reality show repeats ...

and since I don't "do" reality shows, and a Fox channel, it was a good excuse to block it.

CNN too feels good

[louis-t]

4. I deleted Fox from current satellite lineup

as soon as I bought it 2 years ago. TV news makes me crazy enough.

[peace frog]

5. Faux News is not a blip on my personal radar

It exists in my cable lineup but is verboten for viewing in my house.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

6. I went one farther:

Almost 10 years ago, I deleted Cable TV from my home. We have Comcast around here, and the prices were rising to levels that I just could not justify. I have never missed it.

On the other hand, in the times I have watched some TV, like my recent hospital stay, I turned it off after a short bit.

My question is: how do you guys stand watching that shit? It is abysmal out there.

[Skittles]

17. it's pretty fucking sad, Tand

people really enjoy shit like CSI and Survivor

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

21. It's madness, Skits.

Wall to wall drivel. Frustrating drivel as well. I would watch something and lay there wondering "Where's the payoff? Where's the brains? Where's the captivation of my interest?"

There was none. It was like watching...less than nothing.

I would have killed for old episodes of "Modern Farmer" by the end.

[Skittles]

31. I have cable only because I stay up all night every night

but I seem to watch only Jon Stewart and Turner Classic Movies. :)

The mainstream shit people watch is pure garbage.

[KansDem]

23. I got rid of cable in 1996

Only have a TeeVee to watch DVDs. The only time I miss it is during severe weather when I used to watch for updates (tornadoes and such). But the radio does a good job substituting.

[ieoeja]

7. I blocked FNC years ago. Had a young child at home. n/t

[City Lights]

8. I blocked FNC using the remote after my Billo-loving brother-in-law turned it on when

he was visiting. No one living under this roof would ever make such a mistake, so I didn't think it needed to be blocked. Lesson learned...it won't happen again. :-)

[Cleita]

10. Already have done that, but how do we get public places

like the gym, the car dealership, the hospital waiting room, etc. to do the same?

[HPD]

19. good idea

We should take it upon ourselves to delete Fox News wherever we go. Waiting rooms, friends home. We can make it work ;)

[donheld]

11. You're just now getting around to that?

They've been deleted from my house for about 8 years.

[TwilightZone]

13. I haven't watched more than ten minutes of Fox News in several years.

I'm not sure why anyone bothers.

[yardwork]

14. I deleted my TV back in 2004.

[Skittles]

16. WTF? I did that YEARS ago

you need an ass-kicking, HPD? :7

[Citizen_Penn]

18. What took you so long - haven't had it for years.

don't miss it, either.

[nichomachus]

22. I did that years ago

And when I travel, I use the remote in the hotel room to put parental controls -- with password -- on Faux News.

[Ganja Ninja]

24. I don't have to delete it.

I just never tune to it. CNN on rare occasions and MSNBC for KO & Rachel and of course Stewart & Colbert but never FOX for anything. Although I admit on election night I was tempted just to see all the sad faces.

[AlexinVA]

25. I have Comcast Digital... How do I block

that awful channel?

[OwnedByFerrets]

26. What took you so long....I did it years ago.

[quispismanna]

28. I have never had cable tv so it's not an issue for me

I thought I was missing something with CNN, etc., but even a news junkie like me has managed without subscribing. And I am really in the minority these days...

[Azooz]

29. News Hounds - They watch Fox so you don't have to

No need to watch Foxnews ever again:
