Hi.

Up here in Canada, if we had a tumor like Fox, spewing bile and lies and filth all day every day the way Fox News does, I'd be happy to organize letter writing campaigns, phone call campaigns, marches, etc, to get them to quit the endless propaganda. For Christ's sake, isn't anyone doing it in the US? If so, why not put more pressure directly on Fox's advertisers?

How can so much of your country be so progressive, but not just make it clear to Fox and their advertisers that this kind of bullshit will harm their bottom line?

And if people ARE doing those things, why isn't it getting any result?

Is it really true that Fox would keep behaving this way, even if advertiser money completely dried up?

Jesus I hate them.

I struggled through an endless midnight-sun winter Alaskan tundra, and found the beautifully furnished home of my new psychotherapist, who turned out, to my enormous surprise, to be Rachel Maddow. I yearned to tell her how much I loved her (in real life I like her lots, but it's not love) and she promised to review my meds, which for some reason I had dumped out of my pockets on her counter. Then she excused herself, saying that "former secretary of state James Baker was doing a press conference making an important announcement" and she had to go. I let myself out of her trophy-lined, Palin-esque Alaskan mansion, thinking

"God it's amazing; these Rhodes scholars can really do it all!"
