Foxes Deserve Better -- Save for FOX (Faux) "News" About | Popular | Superdelegates | Predictions | Polls | GameFoxes -- like all animals -- deserve a break, but one FOX -- FOX News -- deserves the contemporary equivalent of the stocks -- a public and somewhat humiliating display of a miscreant. The specific sin of FOX is its unfair, uninterrupted and impunity-laden assault on the character and person of one Barack Obama and of his pastor, one Jeremiah Wright.Joseph McCarthy could have wished nothing better than the banquet of bile fashioned by FOX.

It is therefore one purpose of this blog to publicly skewer and help bring down this mighty engine of the Murdoch Empire. By approaching FOX frontally we help to establish that their attack is unfair in the extreme. We do not buckle to it. We challenge it. And we use our power to fight its power.

Fortunately there is a site called Skin The Fox and I have taken the liberty of providing you with relevant information from its BOYCOTT page.

Yes, we will start by simply refusing to patronize the people who pay Sean Hannity's salary. If Bill O'Reilly was able to pay in the millions to settle whatever problem he had in the harassment department, we must assume that advertising revenue has been quite generous. We aim to nip it some.

Here are FOX Sponsors you may wish to contact with the intelligence that you will not support them as long as they support FOX.

And if anyone from FOX comes here and wishes to skewer me, skewer away. I have made a practice of hiding nothing and will gladly confess to a multiplicity of sins. When I was an infant I had meals with rich liberals and known radicals.

Two weeks before Malcolm X was shot I talked to him and shook his hand. The fact that he was at that point no longer championing racism or violence may be deemed irrelevant. I am sure FOX will appreciate my willingness not to engage in any subtleties such as the right to grow and change one's mind.

What else. Infidelity. Only I did not think of it as such. But again let's not split hairs.

A consistent record of voting for traitors like Jimmy Carter and Dick Gregory and John Kennedy. I can excuse all these by confessing that I have repented publicly and often for my one vote cast for the only politician I would ever put in a class with you in the prevarication department. That would be LBJ.

OK FOXie. I also intend to ridicule you. When dealing with a POWER that is aligned with the principalities and powers and therefore has theological relevance as an evil to be delivered from by constant prayer, ridicule is an absolute necessity.

You may ridicule me in return. Do anything you want. I don't care.

As for enyone else, if you like me have a problem holding down your latest meal when looking at FOX, you may wish to communicate with the following FOX sponsors.

And from the Skin The Fox Site:

In 1996, Fox News began broadcasting extreme right propaganda labeled "fair and balanced" reporting.

Fox "News" today is little more than an advertising arm of the current White House administration. With a clear intent : disseminate false information to support a government administration that came to power under questionable circumstances; maintain a government administration that remains in power through more questionable circumstances; and disseminate false and misleading information to the American People to support that current [and questionable] government administration.

We, the American People, will no longer tolerate or support advertising or political propaganda in the guise of "news." We will no longer tolerate or accept the brainwashing of America. We will no longer tolerate or support any sponsor who financially supports or contributes to Fox News' continued and mis-labeled "journalistic" practices.
