If Dems win in 06, here's what I hope they do to FauxNews....
For an experiment, go to FauxNews' website on a regular basis for about a week (I know it will be sickening, but just try it) and pay attention to the six regular RNC repeaters and their topics that are listed on the left hand side of the page. The usual suspects are O'Lielly, Gibson, Cavuto, and a couple of other.

Pay attention to the topics and how often out of these six people, the stories are anti-Dem. It just goes on and on.

So what my hope is, if the Dems win in 06 they should completely boycott FauxNews. They should just tell them to fuck off until they get some real "fair and balanced" reporting. And if the Dem's need to, they can just tie up Biden and Joementum and put them down in the senate basement to keep their mugs off the tv (we do know if the Dems would do such a thing and boycott FauxNews there would be a Dem vacuum on FauxNews and those two would rush right over to fill all that air time).

1. If we win in 06...
and once we get * Cabal impeached and removed...

We need to cut FauxNews, O'Lielly, Gibson, Cavuto, Limpballs off at the knees. No more talking points, no more heads up on events etc. The news would come from the White House Press Corps.

Could you imagine all of the above without their marching orders. They would be like sheep without a shepard.....

6. Actually, Fox News was created during the Clinton administration,
and flourished with their anti-Clinton rhetoric. So the right wing being out of power would have little to do with whether Fox gets "marching orders" or not from the White House.

4. They could do that without winning
Why not boycott Fox News NOW, or at least refuse to send anyone who can't turn O'Reilly and co. into quivering mounds of jelly?

Is there anyone in Congress who can stand up to O'Reilly etc. as well as Janeane Garofalo did in the buildup to the Iraq War?

5. When Dems wins in '06
they should go on Faux News and laugh in the faces of Hannity, O'Lielly and Cavuto. They should call them out and be as in your face about it as Hannaity, O'Lielly and Cavuto have been in their bias towards the repugs.
