O'Reilly is quick to call for a boycott on those he disagrees with. Why not give him a taste of his own medicine?

Let's not forget that a relative of George working for Fox was the first to call Florida for Bush-Cheney. Boycotting Fox totally should furthyer erode their ratings and thus send a resounding collective 'g*t f*cked' to Rupert Murdoch.

3. Except that FOX provides a way for them to reach Republicans and Conservatives!

Wes Clark worked as a consultant for FOX for that very reason. We need those votes!I would encourage them to go on FOX.Clark always made O'Reilly look like an idiot and I am sure any of our candidates can hold their own.

4. Who else saw Keith Olbermann's faux "Fox" ad on Countdown tonight?
It was a true classic! Like something Letterman would do, only from MSNBC.

6. The best way to confront Fox is to out them as Pravdalike propaganda
Democrats should tell everyone they won't go that biased network. Dems should reward impartial media and punish neoCON psych-ops.

7. Contrary to popular belief the MSM is not liberal! The F*X boycott could be justified ...
... on the basis of being a protest against false advertising. 'Fair and balanced' give me a break.

The added benefit of such a boycott would be that even the most faithful of freepers would get bored with the usual suspects continually agreeing with themselves ad nauseum.
