With Trump busy at work trying to control the news we are able to hear. Is it possible for everyone to band together and stop purchasing products of the commercial sponsors of the news networks like FOX? Could this help in any way?

(732 posts)Many media buys are not for a specific show, but rather a media package deal. This is more so for radio than television, but here is how it works. I sell X, I make a media buy, I don't buy Rush, I buy a package with his distributor, which could also include say Thom Hartman (aside I have no idea who distributes what or where now). You here my product advertised on old Rush, and go I am boycotting all items on his show. You write to me the owner of X, you get a whole movement going. Now as the owner of X I don't want that, so I do not re-up my contract. Great, Rush no longer gets my ad dollars, but neither does Thom. So be careful know how the ad ended up where you saw/heard it, was it a direct buy (purchased for that time and show), package (think of this type of purchasing a mixed set of times/shows across one network, such as ABC, NBC or FOX), or distributor (as described above) each type of buy is different.
