I thought the same thing, but each purchase generates a letter in your name to the Top Ten Advertisers on FOXNEWS indicating another household they
can "subtract" from Neilson projections.
This is 'reverse Neilson' and who doesn't want that kind of power? Sure anybody can send a letter to the advertisers on CBS or NBC or Fox and
say I'm not watching you anymore, but
this is action.
A record of action that not even the ratings monopoly Neilson would be able to account for if it took off.
Still having said that, I think the manufacturer is marketing this "FoxBlocker" all wrong.
It's not the right leaning opinion that's the problem, it's the "fake debates" and extremist opinions (on both sides) and 24/7 yelling and
screaming of infotainment sensationalism.
Merely blocking it with your remote so your child doesn't get a load of Mancow talking about boobies and "dummycraps" first thing in the morning
sends no message. Writing letters doesn't either. It's not perfect, but something like this (offered for every channel) could be a hell of a
statement. I just wish it was one device you could program for whatever channels you want and that signal block was tracked.
I wanna VOTE with my remote!
It sucks to not be a Neilson household. Who are those idiots? They ruin everything.
