Democrats are boycotting FOX so should we
Please stop all links and videos ect of FOX. The Democratic Party doesn't think they are worth talking about and neither should we. Let us just act as if they do not exist. I have to admit sometimes I do like to see and laugh at some of their idiocy, but we are only helping to keep them around.Lets leave FOX for the Freepers.

I don't allow it on my TV

3. I got a news flash for ya
I was boycotting fux before it was cool. The only time I see any of their shit is when Olbermann shows some O'falafel bullshit on Countdown.

4. I used parental controls to block Fox Noise from all our TVs.
The only time I see anything from Fox Noise is if it's on KO or Comedy Central. I don't visit their website either. :-)

11. KO also does a great job of exposing their idiocy.
And Billo is frequently his worst person in the world.

I love watching Fox Noise be the butt of jokes! :D

19. I think all of us should consider a pledge not to reply in such threads.
I wouldn't have any problem doing that.

12. I'm surprised by the number of DUers who watch O'Leilly,
Hannity and other shows on FOX, as well as listening to Limbaugh.

I can't even watch Tweety, let alone those clowns.

14. I haven't watched Faux in a year
Since I figured what a douchebag Alan Colmes is (tv AND radio). As well as boycotting Faux, can be boycott all programs on MSNBC except KO cause when you take Olbermann out of the equation there just as bad as Faux.

16. Just use Newshounds!
Their motto: "We watch Fox so you don't have to". http://www.newshounds.us/ I understand the want and need of a boycott but it's still good to keep an eye on them. Newshounds watches them all day long and you can get the skinny from them without ever having to watch Fox or go to it's website.

22. Haven't watched that stinkfest since it first came on air!
I'm with Walldude, Newshounds provides a true American service to us all! Their slogan suits me fine.
KO will inform me of anything of interest they might do, plus I get a laugh out of it! Priceless. :popcorn:

23. Being up here, I may not know the full story. Was Fox sponsoring the debate and
moderating? If that's the case, I could understand the boycott. However, if it wasn't being moderated by any of the Fox people, then wouldn't the members of the Democratic Party want to get their message out, especially to different kinds of audiences? Just asking.
