List of Fox News sponsors

[garybeck]

I think there are too many on this list to boycott them all.

if there was a way to determine which ones advertise the most, they should be targeted for sure.

This "Skin the Fox" site looks pretty interesting (link at end)...

More to come. Meanwhile --

Write them. Tell them Americans will no longer tolerate companies that support false advertising and partisan politics disguised as "fair and unbiased reporting."

We have a SAMPLE LETTER in case you are wondering where to start.

We have a new boycott sponsor of the week each week in case fifty letters will wipe you out but one you can handle : BOYCOTT OF THE WEEK

http://skinthefox.com/sponsors_001.htm

[GetTheRightVote]

1. NO problem, I already do not shop at these locations

:kick:

[lvx35]

2. I'm all good except for Cingular and Target.

I knew I hated Cingular for some reason.

[pk_du]

3. Ahhh Ditech...the absolute LAST company I'd look to for a

mortgage or loan...based on FAUX spending alone.

[Erika]

4. Who would shop at WalMart? n/t

[Liberty Belle]

5. Nominating and kicking. Let's get those letters out, folks!

Morgan Stanley is featured as "boycott of the week." I just sent them a letter. Please join in!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

6. I guess Cingular Wireless has got to go

That's the only sponsor up there that I currently patronize as a customer. Oh well, no one calls me on my cell phone anymore, anyway.

I completely agree with the importance of writing them. The important thing is to LET THEM KNOW why you are no longer going to be a customer.
I'll be sure to tell them as I hand in my final payment on a bill and cancel my service.

[Tigress DEM]

8. Phone I can part with, but my car?!

Well, Dodge itself didn't get any of my money.

And I have the radio tuned to AirAmerica all the time.

Serves them right.

[Tigress DEM]

7. Aw shoot. I drive a Dodge, but it's used. Does that count?

I certainly didn't buy it because I saw an add on FAUX.

[garybeck]

9. I don't thing a few people boycotting all these companies is effective

we need to:

pinpoint the biggest advertiser(s)

and

get LOTS of people to do it. more than just DUers.... we need MoveOn, DFA, DNC, .... all these orgs to get involved.

[Carolab]

10. Progressive Insurance? OMG, I thought they were "good guys".

They've got a lot of nerve calling themselves "progressive". If they support Faux, they should change the name to "Regressive".

[SmileyBoy]

12. Progressive gives 100% to Dems.

http://www.buyblue.org

[Carolab]

27. Phew! Thought so!

Thanks!

[vanboggie]

11. So much for buying a Dodge and I told them why

We've been new vehicle shopping and had decided on a Dodge since we've had good luck with them. We were going to go car shopping tonight, but something came up. I just wrote them and told them why we have just decided not to buy one after all. Thanks for the heads up.

[vanboggie]

28. Follow up

I received a standard form email back. Weird thing is that they tracked down the Dodge in my spouse's name and listed recall work not yet finished. They apparently went to the trouble of comparing home address to their database.

[cynatnite]

13. How about letting the companies know you're displeased?

If you don't like who they sponsor let them know. I don't know how much good it really does, but I have on occasion written to some when I didn't like who they sponsored.

[vanboggie]

14. Sam's - oh that was fun

I joined Costco last week and just used my Sam's membership number for the last time to let them know why I switched.

[deacon]

15. a hard kick, this needs to stay at the top for about a month n/t

[saracat]

16. Some of these companies are huge Democratic supporters. There is something

wrong with this list!

[YOY]

17. Nothing Wrong With The List

Just because they advertise there (sponsor) doesn't mean they hold strong political views with the network.

They are just trying to market. There is nothing incredibly EEEEEVIL about 85-90% of these companies.

There is something wrong with pigeon holing them as solid RW supporters.

[garybeck]

20. the point is not that they are evil

the point is that FOX NEWS is evil. and if we can get these companies to listen to their customers, perhaps some of them will stop supporting fox news.

that's why I said several times, this is not meant to be a list of companies to boycott. it's a starting point.

[YOY]

21. My bad in misinterpreting your post but

but from the raw marketing POV, I cannot see any of them changing their ways unless the freeps started complaining about their involvement in contributing to anything democratic and attempting to boycott them for it or the general public were to be disgusted with the network as a whole.

A company is a company and profits are profits. If the executive officer finds more profit in marketing via one-route over another then they will: regardless of political agenda of the medium in which they feel is effective (most of the time...if they are smart) or complaints from the public aimed at that medium.

The greater majority of the public would have to view Faux in a highly negative way to the point where the company would feel that brand association is a danger to their product. Those levels would have to be extreme in percentage and justified in intensity. (they are only justified right now...not extreme.)

Since most viewers of Faux news do not view the program they are watching to be a steaming pile of propaganda and vile lies as we do then they have no reason to distrust or suspect any sponsors.

Forgive me for being skeptical...but I just don't think this would be effective in getting these companies to stop supporting Faux.

Excuse me for thinking like an MBA, I am one.


Edited for spelling and grammar.

[tk2kewl]

18. I think Black & Decker and Target would be the only ones I need

to worry about.

[meganmonkey]

19. Oh NO! Now I have to sell my Beemer, my Lexus AND my Infiniti!

How will I ever get to work!

:P Actually I drive a Hyundai.

[AlCzervik]

22. Sheesh and they call us elitists, look at how many high end car cos.

and huge money houses sponsor them.

[splat@14]

23. Add AutoZone, they sponsor Rush.

[NYCGirl]

30. They also advertise on Air America. NT

[flyarm]

24. DAIMLER CHRYSLER was a huge sponser at the dem

convention last year..they paid for the boston pops performing for the delegates and the city of boston!!

they were a huge contributor to the dem convention!!

look many go both ways..as many businesses have to...we need to zero in on those companies who only support rethugs!

[pstokely]

25. a local Kansas City sponsor is Jay Wolfe auto group

[buycottJoe]

26. A website that lists Fox sponsors

http://www.spendingliberally.org/

It lists the companies that have advertised most frequently on Fox News Channel in the past few weeks. It has been around for quite some time now.

http://www.buyblue.org/ was mentioned above. These are goods sites to keep written down or have bookmarked.

[pointblank]

29. Damn

I:

Stayed at a Hyatt hotel in Chicago this past weekend

Recently bought a postage scale at Office Depot

Was registered for my wedding at Target

Shop at Wal-Mart (yea,yea)

Recently bought a Black and Decker cordless drill

Why didn't you post this sooner!! (J/K)

I'm very ashamed, but this will definitely alter my spending/shopping decisions.

[sakabatou]

31. Our family uses three

Splenda, Travelosity and Office Depot
