File a FCC Complaint against FOX News for deceptive marketing Here!
Edited on Sat Apr-11-09 05:56 PM by FrenchieCat
The FCC Online Complaint form is at this secured link, at the FCC Website.
https://esupport.fcc.gov/sform2000/formA!input.action?form_page=2000A


Fill out the CONSUMER INFORMATION portion,

on FORM 2000A, complete item #3 (scroll down from consumer information)

since you are complaining about advertising by a cable or satellite operator (e.g., Comcast, Time Warner, DirecTV).


NEWS CORPORATION is the name of the Operator (line 3a)


Their City and State of Operation (line 3b) is NEW YORK, NEW YORK


(line 3c) Cable network (e.g., ESPN, Nickelodeon) (line 3c) is FOX NEWS

(line 3d)Advertising information: Date (mm/dd/yyyy): 04/08/2009 Time: 2:00 PM

(line 3e) When asked which program...respond a large number/see video


Here's the information as to why you are complaining which should be filled in on line 3f:

Include this link/ Youtube video showing all instances: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS-cAd9iPDA&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fthinkprogress%2Eorg%2F2009%2F04%2F10%2Ffox%2Dnews%2Dtea%2Dparty%2Dvideo%2F&feature=player_embedded

Fox News has, in dozens of instances, provided attendance and organizing information for future protests, such as protest dates, locations and website URLs.

Fox News websites have also posted information and publicity material for protests. Fox News hosts have repeatedly encouraged viewers to join them at several April 15 protests that they are attending and covering (view compilation).

Fox News isn’t the only right-wing organization involved in building up these so-called “grassroots” events. The tea parties have been heavily backed by corporate lobbyists.

The principle organizers of many of the local events are actually the lobbyist-run think tanks Americans for Prosperity, Freedom Works, and Newt Gingrich’s American Solutions. The groups are heavily staffed and well funded, and are providing all the logistical and public relations work necessary for planning coast-to-coast protests.
