Infinite MonkeysThe AP reports that the MoveOn.org, the Campaign for America's Future and the Kos Kids are launching a campaign to bring down Fox News through a ridiculously transparent letter-writing campaign against those who advertise on the network. The idea, naturally, is to get companies to pull their ads on the "biased" network.
Says a spokeperson from one of the Fox News Channel's leading sponsors:
Home Depot has not had an unusual number of calls, said spokesman Jerry Shields, and the home improvement chain will not change its advertising strategy."We're not in the business of censoring media," Shields said. "We need to reach our customer base through all mediums available."
Home Depot is also not in the business of sending its stock prices plummeting by pulling its ads on what is (by far) the most-watched cable news network. Getting Democratic candidates to boycott Fox News is one thing. Getting a business to commit financial suicide is quite another. Of course, liberals are not known for their firm grasp on the "reality based" world of business.
