*** Here's how to shut up Fox News over the Rev. Wright nonsense ***
Find out how many times Mark Fuhrman has been on Fox News and on which shows. If they're accusing of Rev. Wright of racism, yet inviting a known racist on as a "special contributer", that to me shows a bit of hipocracy that would be worth pointing out.

1. You assume they have a conscience or integrity
Media Matters has been doing very similar things for years, and it has no effect on those craptards.

2. I think a better way is to never watch 'em
Never ever. Just skip over them when changing channels. Maybe even tell them why you're refusing to watch. It's all about money and if they don't get the green, they will try something else. I've even gone so far as to ask the receptionist at my dentist's office to either turn it off or turn it over. She did. I also quit going to an establishment (a bar) because they had that crap on and wouldn't turn it off until sports came on. I told them why as well. Just don't watch.

4. Unfortunately, for American news I'm rather limited to what AFRTS will show...
...and in my "prime time", it's almost exclusively Fox News.

3. Just don't watch.
Then write emails saying you won't watch them or let anyone in your family watch it either. Then mention some other scandal or bit of information that you think would be better for them to report on.

6. Really we can live with Fox News they may have a couple of
million loyal veiwers who probably wouldn't vote democratic anyway, so their only preaching to the choir. Our problem is when the more moderate media start reporting the garbage that fox is pushing.
