Way ahead of these guys...I work for a large company and the security guards kept putting FOX on in the lobby, so I called the ethics line one evening and within a few days it was FOX NO MORE! FOX has been banned in the building. Victory!

"Some people watch Fox at home because it reflects their view of the world; but there are others who see it on TV in public places and assume that it's legitimate news. Fox News is often on in bars, restaurants, airport lounges, stores -- appearing to be real news, while spreading lies and fomenting hate and division.

The goal of Turn Off Fox is to reduce the number of public TVs showing Fox News, while spreading the word about Fox's poison (and how it works) to those who don't know".




"For years Fox News has used lies, distortions, and race-baiting to divide America. They’ve accused the first Black president of being a racist.1 They advanced a ruthless smear that cost Shirley Sherrod her job.2 And now Fox host Glenn Beck says he will “reclaim”3 the legacy of the civil rights movement by holding his “Restoring Honor” rally on the same day and place as Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech.4

Recently, it's gotten dangerous. Last month, a heavily armed man got into a gun fight with police after he was pulled over on his way to kill people at the Tides Foundation5 — a non-profit that was little known until Glenn Beck repeatedly demonized it, claiming it to be the center of a great conspiracy.6 Last year, Kansas doctor George Tiller was gunned down while at church7 after Bill O'Reilly called him a Nazi, a "baby killer," and warned of "Judgment Day."8

Fox is a poison, and it spreads and is legitimized partly through public TVs. It's why today we're launching Turn Off Fox -- the first part of a larger campaign to diminish the influence of Fox. It's about getting Fox turned off in stores, restaurants, and other public places.

You can help by declaring your own a household "Fox free" and at the same time appealing to public establishments in your community to stop playing Fox. It takes just a moment, and you'll get a FREE Turn Off Fox sticker when you do."

I thought you progressives were all for the constitution and freedom of speech?

Ever heard of equal protection? The 14th Amendment?

I suppose those only apply when the news is in lock step with your agenda.

Ah easy, all we're doing by opposing FOCKS is free speech...lol. FOCKS lies and inspires racism...ignorace. It's NOT a news station, it's a RW nutbag shill site and the sooner the public realizes that the sooner they (POX) become just another "reality" (for idiots) type of TV show. Just like the ones that BEAT POX NOISE (in ratings) now.

I heard that tonight! Good timing madam!

"It's no surprise that corporate robber baron Rupert Murdoch is a major Bush supporter but who else owns Fox News?

Prince al- Walid bin Talal stated recently that he used his influence to change Fox's headlines. During the recent riots in Muslim neighborhoods in France Fox was using the term "Muslim Riots" to describe rioting by Muslim youths and Prince bin Talal claims that called Fox News had them change the title of the story to "Youth Riots". Source. worldnetdaily.com

In another instance, where supposedly conservative Fox News should have been up in arms, was the deal by a United Arab Emirates holding company to buy U.S. ports. Suddenly Fox went from being against the deal to very supportive of a deal that would have put US container ports in foreign hands. A U.A.E. sovereign wealth fund also owns major shares of Fox.

The "good ole boys" that hang on every word that Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly utters might not be so happy when they hear who is whispering in their idol's ears."

IT'S A MUSLIM! And he made FOCKS change their headlines...pffft. I love it...lol. These people opposing Islam and parroting this noise station literally have their heads up their arses...eh?

Fox News Channel is an entertainment network designed to provide satirical faux news casting that reminds Americans of what happens when Americans fail to allow their minds to grow past 1940 American society.

You meant 1950 right?...lol.

And then you see them cry "Constitution" when they are caught lying. So it's the 14th Ammendment that gives them the right to LIE and not be called out for it..to allow them their hate speak in public to be ignored...what should someone make of THAT???

Their equal representations are obstructed by the reality of their words and actions?...really? I mean Really?!?

I feel the ghost of Hunter here tonight...lol.

"America... just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable."

In the wake of the North Korean Missile Crisis and the 2006 Lebanon War, Fox saw a surge in viewership and remained the #1 rated cable news channel. Fox still held eight of the ten most-watched nightly cable news shows, with The O'Reilly Factor and Hannity & Colmes coming in first and second places, respectively.

For the year 2007, FNC was the number-one rated cable news channel in the United States when rating based on Ratings, not cumulative audience. It was down one percent in total daily viewers and down three percent in the 25-54 year old demographic, but it still boasted most of the top-rated shows on cable news led by The O'Reilly Factor. Fox News ranked #6 of all cable channels .

For the year 2009 Fox News had the highest ratings in its history, topping its cable news competition in all day parts and seeing double-digit gains for all of its programs.

In the third week of January 2010, Fox News was the highest rated basic cable channel in primetime. This marked the first time that a news channel led the primetime ratings, beating out entertainment channels such as USA, TNT, and TBS.

AND MY FAVORITE PART.............

Also in January 2010, Public Policy Polling reported that Fox News was the most trusted television news channel in the country with 49% of respondents stating they trust Fox News. Fox also scored the lowest level of distrust with only 37%, and was the only channel to score a net positive in that regard, with a +12%. CNN scored second in the poll with 39% of those polled stating that they trusted the news channel, and 41% stating distrust, a -2% net score.
