I watch almost every news channel I have access too, FOX is the easiest one to spot the lies... its like they don`t even try to hide their BS. And, what do you mean by left-leaning...edit on 23/2/2011 by TheSparrowSings because: (no reason given)

It might help if, with what you recommend, people actuallywrote the companies en masse so that they knew they were losing business, which is what happened with a lot of Beck's and Limbaugh's sponsors some time ago. While they might see their sales and profits decrease, if they know people are actively boycotting, by the boycotters informing them, they would by more likely to change their sponsorships. Of course, you'd also have to inform Fox, so they would also know people are targeting their income.
That said, I personally make it a point to not buy products and services from both overly annoying advertisements as well as marketed goods and services in general, but that's just my rebellion against the invasive and annoying marketing aimed at the consumerist mentality.
For instance, if Geico were the only insurance company in the US, i would NEVER buy from them.

On the contrary, advertisers pay based on ratings. If enough people turn them off, ratings drop, advertisers go elsewhere to spend their advertising dollars. That would hurt them more than getting some e-mails that no-one's going to read.
