dieseltaylor Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I doubt me signing would be much use - apart from showing off-shore support for the better organisation http://act.credoaction.com/campaign/npr_beat_fox/index2.html I read last week that black listeners to Fox topped out at roughly 1.5% of the total viewers. Seems astonishingly low - or is indeed Fox unbearable unless you are already of the persuasion? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumrox Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Hey, that's not a vote, it's a petition! :-) Regardless of one's political affiliation, I would be very reluctant to expand coverage of the government to an organization that receives a significant portion of it's operating expenses either directly from the government or via tax deductible (meaning gov't subsidized at the donor's marginal tax rate) private donations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Belenko Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Me thinks this is one of them there political threads we ain't supposed to be discussing at BFC.com. When it comes to news I refer to Simon and Garfunkel's song - "The Only Living Boy in New York". It goes something like this... I get all the news I need from the weather report 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 Political!? Just a matter of good taste. Its interesting point from dumrox regarding financing. Made me think that for commercial paid channels I will have to avoid the advertisers that use Fox .... but then I would need to watch Fox ..... but I could just do the adverts! Actually I much prefer print as a medium for ideas and thought. TV just goes for emotion. And of course the content is dumbed down to the point of crapt. Anyway congratulations to Fox News on the Sherrod scoop. Nice one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
