"I believe no responsible company should advertise on Fox News due to its recent and on-going deplorable conduct."

Dear Fox Advertiser,

I agree with Tides Foundation CEO Drummond Pike:

"Businesses that pay to broadcast commercials on Fox News are subsidizing Glenn Beck's television show by continuing to pump money into the network. It has become clear that the only way to stop supporting Beck is to stop supporting Fox News.

"I respectfully request that you bring this matter of your company's sponsorship of hate speech leading to violence to the attention of your fellow directors as soon as possible. I believe no responsible company should advertise on Fox News due to its recent and on-going deplorable conduct."

Selected Fox News Advertisers:

* JP Morgan Chase & Co
* GEICO (Berkshire Hathaway)
* Zurich Financial
* Chrysler
* Direct Holdings Americas, Inc (Time-Life)
* GlaxoSmithKline
* AstraZeneca
* Lilly Corporate Center
* BP
* The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc.

13. No, just honed driving skills ever since in one week,

people tried to run my car off the road in 2008 because of my bumper stickers.

10. How can Geico be cheaper when they have ads aired 24 hours a day?

Geico advertises more than any other company and those costs are passed off to their customers. If they advertise that much they HAVE to be more expensive than their competitors. With all that advertising I wonder if they even have a claims department or pay any claims.

11. We've priced Geico against everbody

including 21st Century, and Geico wins hands down. Thats for 2 senior drivers and my son who is 20 in Palm Bch. Co.

9. What would help, in the short-term

would be for any/all democrats/progressives/liberals to STOP going to Fox for "interviews".

Every time one of them goes there they legitimize that freakshow.

Let Fox be the propaganda channel we all have known for YEARS, that it is.

They NEED for the occasional liberal to wander through, so they can claim to be "fair & balanced".

Fox needs to be marginalized/shunned and ignored by polite-society. Let them be the crazy aunt locked in the attic. Every so often auntie runs naked through the streets and everyone cluck clucks & says...."poor old dear", but no one would dare to invite auntie to a legitimate event.

14. I'm hoping Dish network will drop FOX news since Murdock pulled

his other channels and is threatening to pull the rest.
