Now I know what products to purchase…
done. Mercedes, Best Buy, Nextel and priceline are the only 4 that apply, but i’ll be blacklisting all four until they remove ads from fox programs.
Hey, you’re doing good work and it’s appreciated. Everybody’s entitled to their own opinions, but the opinions at Fox News don’t worry me. It’s the lies and distortions and disinformation that scare the bejeebers out of me, the mountain-sized piles of crap that come from Fox News every day. Fox News contaminates public discourse and dumbs down the American public, and boycotting their sponsors is the least any patriotic American can do.
Thank you for this. I guess it’s direct tv for me, and no more best buy, and orbitz. Please keep it up!!
I have all ready boycotted fox republican news long ago, i have asked direct to exchange fox for a station that i might watch, such as c-span 3, fox is not a news station it is a propagander out let for the republican party, i want to hear bought sides of the story but not lies or made up stuff, and fox will say anything to insight conflict instead of intelligent debate. and they should not be allowed to carry the banner of a news program.
Unless Fox has change their licensing, fox news is not news at all. They are an entrainment/media outlet. Several years ago they got sued over a story but won the case because they did not have a news license, but an entertainment license. Therefore they can broadcast lies under the banner of news and cannot be accused of disinformation. What they do is for entrainment only. If the viewer cannot separate fiction from reality, then the viewer is at fault and not the network. Think about Saturday Night Live news, we know it is fiction because Loren Michael’s the producer tells us it is fake news.
THANK YOU for keeping this boycott alive.
we must figure out a way to make it REALLY WORK.
I keep boycotting but their audience keeps growing. How come we’re having no luck?
i printed out a list of these sponsors, and keep it with me.
i was surprised how many of them i have
SORRY, my finger slipped.
as i was saying, i was surprised by just how many of their sponsors, ARE getting money from me, and thanks to this list, i am done.
i also posted the link on my facebook.
Thanks you for keeping this boycott going. It feels great that I have a way to voice my concern for Fox’s news as it has hateful, misogyny viewpoints that exploits women, and sensationalizes the abuse of children and misrepresents the real news. Not to mention their efforts at dividing this country.
I am contacting as many sponsors as I can to make my concerns known. And I will not spend my money on these sponsors!
Thanks for maintaining this list, I will inform as many people as possible about the Fox Propaganda Machine and encourage boycotting their sponsors!
Keep up the good work everyone!
Dangit! I’ve been avoiding Home Depot because of their love-fest with bush and republicans. Now I thing that Lowes might be doing more damage to U.S. via their sponsorship of fux “news”. The best thing is to patronize the local, family hardware store and stay out of both of those big-box moronospheres.
Instead of listing all the sponsors, I would suggest randomly select 2 for a month to boycott. I believe that would be more effective that a shotgun approach to this.
Thanks for the suggestion Ari. I think it may be important to do both… I’ll definitely give that some more thought.
Long list.
I’ve long wondered if they are somehow able to “game” the ratings — similar to the Florida/Ohio elections. Think of the history, and I have no proof but it makes me suspicious.
1) They start a conservative propaganda channel. 2) They make it look like it has high ratings. 3) All other networks piss themselves and try to broadcast the same message.
That’s message leverage.
I need to add something here – don’t just boycott a product.
For instance, Dawn dish washing soap – don’t boycott that product. Instead, boycott anything that the parent company sells (Proctor & Gamble).
Another product, boycott anything the company sells (Johnson & Johnson).
Hit ‘em where it really hurts!!!
Well the only hard one to give up is going to be Totino’s Pizza Rolls! As a college student, those always come in handy when Ramen Noodles just won’t cut it.
I guess I can start buying off-brand though…
Progressive Insurance is probably the single largest advertiser….
How do you plan to boycott Boeing? Stop flying all together?
m, if that is your real name… Everyone is free to boycott at whatever level they are comfortable with. I, myself, rarely fly.
Watch the programing and boycott the advertisers; that’s the best revenge.
The time is ripe to take this beyond boycott. We must stop at nothing less than total financial destruction of FOX “News”. By this I mean organizing massive physical demonstrations (peaceful, with permits) outside of “brick and mortar” sponsors such as KIA dealerships, IHOP and Red Lobster franchises, and AT&T Wireless Stores, with the goals being 1) generating as much possible negative press with signs like “KIA Finances Domestic Terrorism by Sponsoring Bill O’Reilly” and “AT&T Finances Domestic Terrorism by Sponsoring Sean Hannity” and 2) wreaking so much havoc on their bottom lines that they are left with no choice but to cease and desist their financial support of Right Wing Domestic Terrorism.
If jobs are lost – SO BE IT. These, like all the other jobs lost due to the Bush Recession, are a direct result if the neoconservative takeover of the USA and attempted destruction of the Middle Class, of which FOX served (and continues to serve) as the Ministry of Propaganda. THIS ENDS NOW.

Thank you for posting your June companies to boycott. I have contacted each company on the list. Thank you.
I’ve been looking for a site exactly like this so that I know what companies not to spend my money on. Thank you so much and please, please, please keep up the good work.
Dear good people,
I believe that a letter writing movement would be alot more successful. Please write to these companies and tell them that unless they stop sponsering Fox “news” we will not use their services. If they receive enough letters and revenues decrease, they will act.
A sample letter can be found here:
http://foxnewsboycott.com/resources/sample-letter/
I’m going to have to take this one at-a-time. Starting with the fox sponsors I use most and then get used to not buying from them any more. I know from past experience when i stop ordering my company’s office supplies from Office Depot–they call me, so I’ll start with them. There are always alternatives–even if it takes a little effort, it will be worth it. Fox News has turned my impressionable senior parents into news morons.
An excellant site. Thanks. Supporters of Fox should be punished by lack of sales. It’s the only way they’ll pull advertising bucks from the GOPropoganda channel.
Today’s Neo-cons are tomorrow’s Neo-Fascists.
We’ve seen this movie before, and it always has the same catastrophic ending.
Write FNC’s sponsors today. Do it now. Do it for your children.
What seems to happen in America is we are a nation of extremes. We just got a good man elected to president whose goal was to undo a lot of the international damage that Bush did to America, and now I am beginning to feel as though the hype and promise of Change is being ignored by the media. Obama is not even getting a chance as even MSNBC are focusing way too much on Palin and Rush Limbaugh and not enough on our internal problems. All this talk about wasting stimulus money is getting blown out of proportion by Fox, and the smears have to be stopped. I see a upcoming referendum from the right and the center against Obama’s policies and they have to be stopped.
I despise the right-wing lies, smears and distortions of Fox “News” and their attack-dog style of pursuing interviews with people they don’t like.
The most effective boycotts are those placed against smaller companies that will actually “feel” the effect. Yesterday (7/18/09), I noticed a smaller advertiser that is supporting Faux with its ad dollars. That company is Smart Balance (the margarine). Another is Bush’s Baked Beans.
Please help spread the word about these two companies and about this boycott website. Email the information to friends and family! Post the information repeatedly on places like reddit, digg, facebook, etc.
Oh.. and you might want to avoid Myspace, the Wall Street Journal, the Speed Channel and your local Fox station. All are owned and/or affilitated with the Fox smears corporation.
hey, this is good work. if you have these names, you probably have amounts too – could you show who are the major contributors as compared to the little guys? or do you already have a minimum contribution cutoff?
xo, Unfortunately I do not have that information. It’s probably confidential.
Help – my Mom is sooo brainwashed by Fox. Unable to have rational converstions. She so despises Barack because of Fox! I hate to see her so influenced by garbage news.
Can you post your link to a sample boycott letter? The above link is broken.
I’m sooooo glad I found this web site.
KimD – I updated the link above. It should have pointed here:
http://foxnewsboycott.com/resources/sample-letter/
I have had it with your anchors for the following shows
‘Hannity and friends’
‘O’Reilly’
‘Glenn Beck’
‘On the record’
‘the morning show’
I am sending this around the World for signing. I blog daily and many of us make a difference when it travels far and near.
The country needs to focus on the needs of the people, not the blowhards with GOP leaders and anchors spewing hatred we haven’t seen ramped up for so long. the games must stop. I will not purchase any of the items above and supporting Murdoch is disgusting realization that promoting this ‘hate’ speech is cruel.
They have to have a Fairness Doctrine for TV. They are supposed to unlike talk radio and Fox news is beyond the pale of journalistic liars. Glenn Beck’s racial remarks, Bill O’ The Clown’s nativism after 9/11 was partially to blame for Bush’s Imperialistic tendancies in Iraq. We cannot allow liars like Beck, Hannity and CNN’s Lou Dobbs to twist the truth, and even play into the hands of the radical right. We have a healthcare crisis to deal with and 14,000 people a day are losing their health care. Down with Fox news and shame on them.
People like us need to organize protests outside Fox studios around the Country and also we should fight hard to organize in cities all over the US to share our healthcare horror stories. We need something like a million man march in Washington in November. This is what it is going to take; we can defeat the agents of the far right. Those people who blame Obama and house Democrats for attempting to create jobs through stimulus. Mccain and Palin would have never created a stimulus package that had any validity to it. I am sure if they created one it would have been pathetic. I am sure that there would be far less progress under their plan that what Obama has done. We live in a nation of malcontents and it is not going to be easy to recover. The people of Fox news twist the truth far greater than MSNBC or even liberal magizines like the Nation. Besides what other country than America do average and ordinary individuals go out of their way to reward big insurance companies and paved the way towards years of forclosures, corporate greed and de-regulation. Now Fox news is pinning it on Obama and we need to fight back and perhaps Obama in his own clever way needs to come on the air weekly to disprove the smears from the Right Wing.
This won’t stop millions of faithful Fox Channel watchers to change their buying habits so I doubt this will work. As long as they have viewers, the advertisers will have buyers. Best of luck.
YOU RIGHT WING NUT JOBS MAKE ME SICK, YOU ALL NEED A WAKE UP CALL, WITHOUT FOX YOU WOULD LIVE IN OBAMA LAND, JUST LIKE IRAN. RUSSIA .. SOCIALISTIS IS ALL YOU ARE, THIS IS AMERICA, IF YOU WANT A SOCILIST STATE WHY DONT YOU MOVE OUT OF THIS COUNTRY, BECAUSE WE AMERICAS ARE NOT GOING TO SET BY AND WATCH YOU LIBERALS RUN OUR COUNTRY IN THE DITCH.. OBAMA AND HIS MOB ARE PUSHING US IN THE WRONG DIRECTION… AND I WILL NOT BE PUSHED, BY ANY OF YOU… WATCH WHAT HAPPENS IN WASHINGTON ON SEPT 12, NATIONAL TEA PARTY RALLY, WE ARE FILLING UP THE BUSES AND WE WILL BE HEARD… WE ARE COMING .. THIS WASHINGTON CROWD NOW IN OFFICW MUST BE DEFEATED
winrobaaa, Thank you for the wishes. It may, or may not work, but it’s important to express our freedoms and try. I know many people have had a wake up call due to information posted here.
John, Your comment was off topic, but so funny I had to approve it. I think you need to look up right vs. left wing & the definition of socialism. Why don’t you try again when you can type rationally & make sense. Oh, and check out the comment policy, specifically the part about staying on topic.
This is ironic. A few years ago when I lived in NYC, there was a popular environmentalist boycott of GE for polluting the Hudson. Also, at that time there was a large push against heartless HMO’s. I was a GE supporter and thought the complaints against the HMO’s were valid, but the calls for even more gov. control were not the answer. Now we have the mother of all HMO’s being harolded by the same people and people like me boycotting GE for being so cozy with our big government. MOST funny of all, I am thinking of boycotting Progressive as well because they are huge contributors to the Obama campaign! (they’ll have no one left
I’ll bet we have more in common than we once thought——
Whoops. Forgot to say I supported GE because I think the charges were false, I can’t remember the details.
Fox News incites violence and misrepresents the news in order to support a right wing agenda. I cannot support companies that sponsor them.
Is there any way to aggregate and automate this so that you could send one communication to all of the companies?
One thing I do notice is that the sponsors Fox has are also on the left-leaning MSNBC. It is hard to boycott products because I wouldn’t have any internet service if I was to boycott all FOX advertisers. What I would do however is to support socially conscious businesses who don’t want their ads airing on FOX. There are not many of those.
Fox has me more concerned for diluting the truth and it is important for more mainstream media like the NY times, the Washington Post, Chicago Sun and other newspapers who lean left, to take shots at FOX News. Obviously you can’t be sued in politics and as John Kerry once described in an interview that everything is fair in politics and you have to be tough to withstand it. He made that statement after right wingers were complaining about the media’s treatment of Palin. The outright Fox news lies towards Obama’s health plan are far greater than MSNBC critisizing Palin for not knowing what the Bush doctrine was, or sensationalizing her underage daughter’s pregnancy.
MR John Thomas meant to call us “left wing” instead of “right wing”. If the other guy and gal had won the white house, we would have no stimulus plan to create jobs, more tax breaks for businesses that already mistreat their employees, another tax cut for the rich, possibly more troops in Iran and fewer in Afghanistan, No increased benefits for the unemployed, tax payers would still be paying for abstinence programs, we would still be wasting money on expensive military plains. Things would be a lot worse.
I defend our right to have free speech but sometimes I regret it when I see people like Limbaugh comparing Obama to a man who was responsible for exterminating 12 million people. That is reprehensible. In Germany, I am sure Rush Limbaugh would be serving a long prison sentence, since already it is a serious crime to deny the holocaust.
Great work here. I am thrilled to help in any way possible.
I encourage people to pass this site on to all your email groups and facebook friends.
Fight the good fight.
Great site! The list of sponsors is of course overwhelming but I am glad this site exists and I have already started sending letters to Fox main sponsors. It is better than sit and watch people like Genn Beck spread lies and stir hatred. It may be a drop in the bucket but I believe each small step counts.
Thanks for this list, awesome work, passing it along every chance I can.
Thanks for the list…
Yeah, well, there’s a number of those on the list I wouldn’t deal with anyway.
Good luck trying to get Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal to remove ads from Fox
I will probably NOT boycott Apple. Al Gore is on the Apple Board of Directors. Why not ask him why they advertise on Fox?
out of control. rush,glenn,sean,billy, lets see who sounds un american i hope the president fails (what then happens to the U.S.A) lets give nancy poision in her wine. and on and on with sean, and bill. spread lies, they want the party nose to tail and follow me keep those blinders on. too much BS stop it fox try working as one one country for all remember. chip
I am writing them all, including some I have supported and whose products I will miss.
I am also writing every hotel, restaurant or business that I discover broadcasts Fox News in a public place, to tell them I will not support them since they choose to be a conduit for propaganda and smut.
Does Freedom of Speech mean the right to lie repeatedly, misinform the public on an opponents issues etc.? If you have a real difference of opinion, express it honestly.
Some left leaning pundits are asking the wrong question, “Are these loud people coached or are they sincere?”. They might be sincere and coached but totally misinformed so where is the debate? There is none. The left’s denial “We don’t have “Death Panels” or We already have Insurance Co “Death Panels”", only support the idea of “Death Panels” – See Nixon’s “I am not a Crook” These corporate tactics to protect exorbitant profits are designed to distract and sabotage any real debate by any means necessary including arousing the passions of a rabble of misinformed zealots.
Follow the money. Is this the triumph of Capitalism?
i have received email from MENS WEARHOUSE and BEST BUY that they are pulling thier advertizing from the glen beck hour.
Thank you so much for posting the names of teh sponsors who are boycotting Fox News and Glenn Beck.
We Jews take adversely to boycotts, so we decided to return the favor and we will be boycotting these sponsors. As I am sure you and they know Jewish buying power has an impact.
Please continue posting names so that we can post them in our Synagogues, Social Clubs etc.
I will be boycotting any sponsors who boycott FOXNEWS. Why are you people so afraid of Glenn Beck? Perhaps because he speaks the truth, unlike the poser you people elected as president.
Truth? Really?
http://foxnewsboycott.com/tag/truth
My sister-in-laws 84 year old mother-in-law is so brainwashed by the fear and hate on Fox that my sister-in-laws husband had to remove all of the televisions so she could no longer watch Fox. The only one in the house is in the basement, and she can’t get down the stairs.He also had to buy a new freezer to put in the basement with a pad lock on it. His mother believes that things are going to be so bad that everyone will have to eat beans, rice and canned veggies. She was either throwing away fresh meat, or giving it to the neighbors. She believes everything that Glenn Beck, Billo the Clown and Hatemonger Hannity have to say. I wish that we could all make a massive complaint to the FCC against Fox, but they would site “Free Speech”.
I am so glad that many sponsors are discontinuing their advertising campaign for Glenn Beck’s program. I am glad this has worked somewhat but CNN is a different story. For some reason, Lou Dobbs is still percieved as mainstream media. He’ll have to threaten someone like Beck threatened to poison Nancy Pelosi in order to lose sponsors. Dobbs has treaded on thin ice when he has said some words towards Latinos that can be borderline racist. Hey, borderline racism though is okay on TV and even on talk radio. I think at least 60 percent of White Americans are either racist, somewhat racist or have a fear of people who are different from them. It isn’t always something people make public. Fox news is sort of a punching bag for these people. Their mission is working and the lies are selling while progress and truth are failing.
Well for that person who keeps saying that Glenn Beck speaks the truth, and we don’t, she obviously hasn’t done much reading is probably one of the people who was at the town hall meetings, yelling and screaming. No wonder the Right wing gets their way more often than not, is that right wing radicals won’t let the other side talk. I don’t watch Hannity very much, but he rarely lets anyone who doesn’t agree with him speak. I think Archie Bunker was a better listener than Hannity.
As for Glenn Beck, you don’t threaten the life of a house speaker. You just don’t do that. It is sick and not funny. I haven’t heard Rachel Maddow or Keith Olbermann ever talked about poisoning Sarah Palin. I am sure if they did, the right wingers would be sending in their militia groups.
I spoke with State Farm corporate today and they told me that they are/have pulled all adverting from Fox news. My local agent is relieved as I told him I was leaving after 28 years.
FYI, Democrats.com has confirmed State Farms’ position.
Good grief, all those company’s are really ignorant. Thanks for posting them, they won’t be getting a dime of my money again.
Unless they straighten up and stop acting like spoiled 4 year old brats like their usurper leader.
Thank you so much for this. Thanks especially for all the contact information. I’m going to email them. We need to end this insanity.
The problem with the Glenn Beck advertisers who have pulled their sponsorship is that they have just shifted it to other Faux News programs. See the report at http://www.seattlepi.com/tvguide/409258_tvgif13.html. We need to keep boycotting these advertisers!
I Block the FOX NEWS channel with the parental control on my remote. I will occasionally unblock to watch commercials so that I do not buy products that support this ‘unfair and definitely unbalanced’ so called news network. Bias is one things, lies are another.
Us little guys may not have much power alone but together? maybe. I have hope this will catch on.
So glad now I can just check this site for the advertisers without having to unblock.
TRY THE BLOCK. It feels great!
I first realized the true power of Fox disinformation during the Terri Schiavo controversy. The resultant circus was a true stomach-turner. There was an almost surreal quality to Fox coverage, an “alternative” universe approach that left human mouths agape, mine anyway.
While I deplore them, the whackos deserve their say. But, Jesus, c’mon…
Does anyone have an email contact for Adobe? I want to contact them and request they stop association with FN but their website is a maze.

I just got the last comment about the 84 year old lady who is brainwashed by Fox. Was it her husband who had to block the channel? That is too funny. What state is she from? Could it be Southern Iowa by any chance? I was wondering if it was the lady at Grassley’s town hall who talked about her fear of our Islamic president who was scaring her just like Adolf Hitler and the 3rd Reich did when she was growing up. I have been to town hall meetings but Grassley seemed to like hearing these people talk. He gave some of them close to 5 minutes to ramble on. If there is one senator who must go in 2010 Grassley would not be impossible to beat. If Dodd is vulnerable in CT just because he happened to have an investment in a company that happened to get bailed out by Bush and Paulsen, than linking Grassley to Palin would be a good strategy for anyone who lives in or near Iowa.
Part of me has wanted to block Fox News from my TV, but as a political detective who wants to know both sides of every debate, I am sometimes so curious to hear what the opposition has to say so I can react to it. I prefer C Span though. I would rather watch a Conservative southern Senator giving a town hall meeting to screened fellow conservatives than to hear Bill O’ The Clown or Glenn Beck’s spin on it.
Limbaugh, Beck and O’Reilly are not going to likely be running for office, Grassley, and other COnservatives will be running. I would rather keep my eye on the donut not on the hole, or as Obama would say, “we have to fill the donut hole” and get health care passed. George W. Bush would likely say, “Lets smoke it out of it’s hole”.
VoR – Thanks for the Adobe emails. Done.
A day after my letter to the editor on health care reform appears in the local paper – an elderly gentleman sends me a five page hand written response (he does this every time I get a letter in) citing all the Fox News talking points. This time however he tells me explicitly to stop watching CNN, MSMBC, NBC etc and watch FOX NEWS!
For our seniors Fox has become their reality TV soap opera drama. They are hooked. It is unfortunate to be in your twilight with your blood pressure being raised by all the lies and misinformation of FOX.
THe problem with Fox news is it has gotten worse and worse each year. That elderly Gentleman who wrote the 5 page letter is not getting correct information, since Fox is built up lies and myths. Perhaps other conservative publications like the Wall Street Journal make much better points.
Of course. I think it’s time to sit grandma and grandpa down and have a sincere chat about turning off the Fox soap opera. Time to point out to grandparents that their children and grandchildren are shouldering the crushing costs of medicare, Social Security along with rising tuitions, mortgages and their own health premiums and all this in a lagging economy. This country has treated it’s older citizens very well. It’s shocking to see so many seniors all hyped up at the town meetings. They have no real reason to distrust government and yet they do. WHY?

Mr. Schau is at the wrong blog. My 90 year old mother in law lives in my home (last six years) and my husband and I help support my 75 disabled mother and have taken care of both woman for many years. You have no idea who you’re insulting when you speak without thinking.
here is a sample boycott that can be sent to fox news:
Greetings
I am signing this online petition not to thank Glenn Beck for his bold stand for the Principles and Values that he holds dear or for his desire to educate the American public, but to alert people to be appalled by them.
Mr. Beck has erroneously motivated tens of thousands to learn incorrectly about the U.S. Constitution and the founding of our great country. He has helped expose the corruption in the Republican political Party, Fox News, and himself, and speaks from the heart even when it is not logically correct and may be considered controversial by many to do so.
I am also signing this petition to ask Fox News Channel to discontinue support of the Glenn Beck television program and to let his advertisers know that I proudly reject the Glenn Beck program and will look to reward those that drop advertising on his show by using their products and services when possible.
To current or past advertisers that have reportedly withdrawn support of his program, you are to be congratulated. To those that are continuing to advertise to appease the demands of special interest groups, please know that I reserve the right to stop purchasing your product or using your services as a form of economic protest.
I am very grateful for this site as there are definitely a few companies that I will be boycotting. Best Buy is one of them, I had an issue with them from before, but this is even more reason to flush them.
When I fly to mich. the only place to smoke in the airport is at the foxx news bar, I will not eat, drink or smoke there any more.
I have personally used the spam that Fox news sponsors send me to respond about why they should remove themselves from being sponsors of any Fox News show. I cite 3 main objections, misinformation, racism, and hate speech , which may possibly incite others to violence. I tell them I will not do business with their company until they stop sponsoring programs on Fox News. That they should have their name linked to such programming, makes me and my family and friends unable to patronize them, even though their product may be quite fine.
@#60 Viki Van Disorder….Could it be that the man has made racist remarks, incited people to nutty protests based on misinformation, and has on occassion made unfunny “jokes” about poisoning an elected official, and fed a lot of elderly people and others a bunch of anxiety producing bs?
Thank you for setting up this site. I’ve been wanting to do something like this for quite a while. We’ll show these sponsors that we do not promote those who advertise for this un-American “news” organization.
Here is the email for Claritin parent company – since Claritin did NOT have one. Even this was very difficult to find. I noticed that with all of these sponsors. FOX is getting smart they are choosing companies who are difficult to contact for their Beck sponsors.

We blocked FOX news on our satellite as well as all FOX sports channels. We decided it was best not even to pass over their stations when searching channels.
The problem is not with the people that advertise on Fox News but the hidden big business money that pays Fox News to deceive the American public and pervert freedom and democracy for their own financial gain. (the same big business money that pays the GOP) They think that if they tell enough lies that it will become the truth. The problem is that only the idiots and morons believe it. But after all that is the financial base for most big business. (and the membership if the GOP)
They call it capitalism and profit… I call it greed and deceit.
To me, targeting the sponsors of Fox News programs is not enough. A small portion of my satellite bill every month goes to Fox News, and I have no choice in the matter. I think you should call your cable or satellite provider and ask why the GOP propaganda channel is included in every package of channels they market.
Personally, I have Fox News blocked on my satellite, just as if they were porn. I find them more offensive than porn.
I have some problems with the fact that when I stay at many motels that the one station they almost always have is Fox news and I never see MSNBC. I would encourage everyone to focus on Cable companies and insure that Fox does not come with the very basic cable packages. CNN other than Lou Dobbs is pretty objective but Fox is clearly bad journalism and it goes a lot further than MSNBC because they do a lousy job at giving both perspectives of issues. MSNBC has a progressive bias but they get conservatives into good discussions and they are good at arguing their case. Bill O’ The clown does not listen to the people he interviews who disagree with him. It is designed for people who don’t like to think.
I can honestly say that MSNBC with Chris Matthews program bends over backwards to allow very conservative guests express their positions and defend them. The Ed Show in the same manner has allowed conservatives like Tom Delay, Mike Pence, Tom Tancredo, and their own Pat Buchanon to argue the conservative cause until the cows come home; you know most of the viewers are pretty liberal but at least Chris, Ed Shultz and even Rachel Maddow to listen. Fox in contrast gets special guests who take the liberal point of view to be weak and are not good at arguing their point. Fox is designed so that Hannity, Bill O’ the clown and Glenn Beck get liberal lightweights they can bully around and it appears as though they are right and people like us are wrong. MSNBC at least gets conservatives who are masters of debate and Fox gets amateurs. When Olbermann calls them fixed news it is pretty accurate.
When will Fox News and Rush Limbaugh be cited for sedition? It is clear that they are all about fomenting overthrow of our legitimately elected government. With winks and nods they encourage wild-eyed teabaggers to carry firearms to places where the President is scheduled to speak. They call for the “failure” of the current Administration. They do everything they can to distort, lie and debase political debate in hopes of toppling the government in order to gain power for the Repugnican Party. From the online Law Encyclopedia: “Sedition is the crime of revolting or inciting revolt against government. However, because of the broad protection of free speech under the First Amendment, prosecutions for sedition are rare. Nevertheless, sedition remains a crime in the United States under 18 U.S.C.A. § 2384 (1948), a federal statute that punishes seditious conspiracy, and 18 U.S.C.A. § 2385 (1948), which outlaws advocating the overthrow of the federal government by force. Generally, a person may be punished for sedition only when he or she makes statements that create a clear and present danger to rights that the government may lawfully protect (Schenck v. United States, 249 U.S. 47, 39 S. Ct. 247, 63 L. Ed. 470 [1919]).” Fox is guilty. Limbaugh is guilty. And we are letting them get away with it!

Subject: Fox News
To whom it Concerns:
I am writing to every advertiser on Fox News to inform them that I am boycotting Fox News because of their inability to perform live up to their journalistic responsibilities and tell the truth about those things they report on. As part of my boycott, I will cease doing business with each and every sponsor and advertiser on Fox News. I can not do business with those I can not trust and by advertising with a company that lies repeatedly, it shows me your company cannot be trusted either.
Please let me know if you should cease your support of Fox News and I will gladly reconsider your company for my needs.
I also boycott any business that turns their public television to Fox and forces propaganda on their customers.
McDonald’s does it in some restaurants so I boycott them all.
Drury Inn does it.
My medical clinic does it so I found another one.
My local pizza place did it until I wrote them, now they don’t.
And if you just ask that they turn it off, they sometimes do.
Feel I must remind people to use the parental block on their remote to block Fox News on the TV’s in your home. We don’t need to view the shows. We know what they are saying since the soundbites are reproduced on other stations anyway. Also I am going to a bumper sticker website to order a personalized bumper sticker that will read
I BLOCK FOX NEWS
My home is a propaganda free zone
OR
CHOOSE TRUTH OVER PROPAGANDA
BLOCK FOX NEWS
Before I order I would welcome any other suggestions.
You can order 5 bumper stickers for under twenty bucks. Well worth the money.
I agree with the comment that Fox hosts are stretching the free speech thing and their constant drum beat against this administration is for the sole purpose of making it a failed Presidency. This is not good for our country or our progress.
Whenever I am at a waiting room, car dealership or any business that has Fox news, when nobody else is watching it, I turn it to MSNBC or sometimes a sports station.
Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity are bullies, liars and act like very immature high school kids. From our point of view it seems reprehensible that they are so pompous and racist.
I will not buy any products from best buy or any of the fox supporters until they remove their advertising.
Fox’s slogan ought to read”We Distort You Comply’.
Thanks so much for the list of sponsors, I actually feel like I am doing something worthwhile. I know that the fastest way to get someone to pay attention is their pocketbook. I have also been successful at getting others to not purchase as long as this BS continues.
I don’t see General Electric on the list. They advertise on Fox News. This must be an honest oversight on your part. For all you committed boycotters: no GE products, no NBC programming, no MSNBC, etc. Don’t be a hypocrite, let’s boycott these products and shut down Fox News!
Plunket, Last night I recorded the advertisements on O’Reilly’s show and GE was one of them. They will be added.
Thanks for the list. I will boycotting Best Buy, Apple, Black & Decker, Bridgestone Tires, CheapTickets.com and Nestlé
I have not watched Fox News in a very long time however, I admit that I was too complacent about all of the vitriolic garbage that has been spit out by there spokespersons,especially Beck and Hannity…I am on the bandwagon for the boycott. Can’t we get some sort of online petition going? I don’t know how to do that, but someone must…thanks for the web site…next should be Rush Lindbaugh and his advertisers..I agree with the gentlemen who says they are promoting overthrowing the government…this isn’t free speech…
Thank you for leading this effort. I also have discontinued watching fox news. I found that I was often shocked by the underhanded slant given to the news. I was also saddened as I realized the amazing amount of effort being made to twist any good being done by the current administration to make it look bad. I think that Fox News is doing a great deal to destroy our country at a time when we all need to pull together. It will be difficult enough for this country to overcome our difficulties if we are united. Such devise reporting only makes it more difficult.
Well said Dorothy. Our only hope is that your reasonable attitude is shared by more people then the opposition. The opposition is so vocal. Our side is a bit too quiet right now.
Didn’t O’ Reilly go on a rant about GE selling something to Iran. He has also ranted about GE owning NBC. Talk about hypocritical. Bite that hand that helps feed you.
FNS:
Someone above wanted to know how much money each sponsor spent on FOX advertising (which you didn’t know, of course.)
The amount of money isn’t so important as the amount of *time* purchased by each company. Volunteers can record that with a stopwatch. Maybe an interesting project…?
A woman in Columbia, MD, is working to get Fox News off the preset TVs so she can work out in peace. Check out the story at:
http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/howard/bal-md.ho.columbia25sep25,0,3749654.story
Fox Lies! I watch to combat their propaganda. The Fox demographic is white, rural, southern, uneducated, unintelligent, unsophisticated, xenophobic, rascist… the list goes on. I am grateful to sites like this which promote the truth. My Best. John
I will be boycotting all companies that support Fox News.
Fox News supports racism, xenophobia and right-wing neocon nut jobs. Fox News is a danger to this country, to freedom, to liberty and equality.
I’m fed up of Faux Noise and their lies.
So when will you be adding GE to the list of companies you boycott? Even though they own MSNBC they are always advertising on Fox. I guess they wanted to advertise on a new chanel people actual watch! So are all of you going to boycott MSNBC? I guess you’ll be left with C-SPAN like many of you were touting.
Wes, GE is on the lists of sponsors of Bill O’Reilly and Fox & Friends. The master list has not been updated yet.
So are you boycotting MSNBC?
Wes, There is only so much time in the day and only so many resources available, so I have chosen which network to focus on for this site. If you want to start a site about boycotting msnbc, more power to you. I would happily check it out, compare facts, and take part as much as I can. I’ve never once said that all media is innocent of bias, or is 100% correct, 100% of the time.
Dear Dorothy of Sept. 20, Please enlighten me on the “Good that the Administration” is doing. I am so disappointed. Where do you see employment improving? So much for that huge stimulus creating millions of jobs. It has only served to save a bunch of union and government jobs that we will be paying for for years. I don’t just blame this Administration but the last as well. I don’t see him as the leader that his party was touting him to be and he hasn’t gone after his own for the fraudulent tax problems and sweatheart deals and worse of many of the people he surrounds himself with (i.e., Charlie Rangel and Chris Dodd) He’s just another Washington politician just like the rest. This isn’t what I voted for. Where is the change? Fox may go overboard in slanted their news to the right but what is the difference between them and MSNBC who slants to the left. No one is questioning what anyone in government is doing. Where are Woodward and Bernstein these days? You can’t say that this whole boycott isn’t virulent and trying to stifle free speech. You only want to stifle the speech that you don’t want to hear. This seems all a little hypocritical to me.
winrobaaa- There is a reason this site exists. Free speech should be protected. Fox News should make everyone happy and change to Fox OP ED then we can bunch them in with Limbaugh as pure base entertainment. It’s seems a little hypocritical that you would stifle our freedom to boycott any product or service we find offensive. We find Fox News and the people who work there offensive and harmful to the progress of truth and yes even prosperity for this country. Oh and yes we are a left leaning bunch (surprised you hadn’t noticed that) MSNBC is not perfect. No station is. My motto “do no harm” and I feel Fox News does real harm. Total propaganda.
Don’t assume that I am so dense as to not know that most here are left leaning. I’m not trying to stifle your free speech at all. Anyone has the right to boycott whatever they please. I have used the list here to boycott the shows that I find offensive on Fox so don’t think I’m right wing, I am not. My problem here is that there is a faction who use the same visceral language to fault all of Fox News, which is not all propaganda. I don’t have a problem with people who try to boycott whatever programs they wish but they shouldn’t pretend that they aren’t trying to stifle free speech by bringing the whole network down. It is a first amendment right and anyone who thinks that any legislation like the Fairness Doctrine isn’t stifling free speech doesn’t know history and does not remember the basic principles this country was founded on. My point is that people boycott whichever programs you feel are offensive but don’t be so high and mighty that some comments here aren’t completely hypocritical. MSNBC is just as guilty as some show on Fox which is why I don’t watch many of their programs either and wish there were a site where I could help boycott their advertisers. Some of us are middle of the road and find some comments here as offensive as commentary on some Fox News programs, not all. I don’t want to see anyone lose their jobs so I would lay off the newsworthy shows on Fox, but that’s just me and I’m as entitled to my opinion as anyone else.
Just heard Max Cleland, the triple amputee Vietnam Vet and former Sen. on an NPR interview concerning his new book about surviving first Vietnam then Carl Rove, the master manipulator of facts. Rove took Cleland down with vicious untruthful ads (which they took down – but damage was done) Rove, a FOX Contributor, has directly, literally and without conscious ruined more lives and cost people their jobs then any other contemporary figure I can think of. He fired Republicans attorney generals that wouldn’t do his bidding.
Lies can only cause damage when people act on those lies. Sure there are sprinkles of truth here and there on Fox but mostly they laser focus on people and or policy they don’t agree with- the intend to bring specific people down. We should be so lucky as to bring Fox down. If only we were that powerful. This is only an itty bitty web site- not Carl Rove’s office afterall.
My Dad told me – ’show me your friends and I’ll tell you what you are.’ Fox plays with Rove. I know what Fox is and trust me when I tell you anyone who respects “Fox and Friends” would not be welcome to dinner in my home.
I think Michelle is finally getting to the root of the problem. Mass Media are tools of the political parties of today. There is no “fair and unbiased”. There has always been corruption of the media by the political parties but it was not until the “W” administration that it became clear and evident with truly disasterous effects on our country. Understanding that could help us get just that much closer to taking this country back for the people; not parties. I think people need to understand that what the Hillbilly administration did made a select few people incredibly rich and powerful and they are not willing to let that go easily. So as a result we get bombarded with this massive amount incredulous propaganda hoping to prevent us from seeing the real agenda. In the end, you, and I, and every other person outside of the very wealthy and powerful are considered stupid and incapable of making our own decisions. Hopefully with more sites like this and more honest and informed people we may make a difference and change the status quo, that keeps so many in the dark barracaded in their own living room afraid of the immigrants, health reform, or any other change.
Good point Vinny. Fear is how the former administration manipulated the public ie. terror levels. If it’s orange should I steer clear of the subway today? Let’s not forget the evidence that Fox was receiving talking points directly from the Bush Admin. Fox became, for them, like their own government run network only they didn’t pay for it we did by supporting the advertisers who support Fox. Fear helped stall the economy in the early days after 9/11. Whipped up fear of, as you say, immigrants, health reform or say stem cell research have set us back twenty years already. Moving forward Fox will promote fear of health reform and alternative energy as well as chip away at this administration in order to make them ineffective. Of course this in turn – will continue to thwart us first economically then of course spiritually. The known effect of an economic and emotional ‘depression’ will in turn raise crime levels increase drug and alcohol abuse and reduce stability of families. So much for the ‘family values’ of contributors of Fox like Huckabee.
I have to point out that for the most part- liberal networks appear to be motivated by seeing this country and its people succeed. Liberals desire to move in a direction that will allow as many of our citizens as possible to live fulfilled lives and prosper.
On the other hand we all know the Conservative’s motto is ‘don’t touch my stuff- even if I did steal most of it from you.’
PS– Keep up the good work everyone. As Bono sings so well “… the goal is soul!” so put a little of yours in this fight.
All FOX News is propaganda. Why??? I think Fox has stumbled onto a money maker by entertaining and pacifying the far right wingers .People that wonder where the America of 1950’s segregation and black and white morality has gone. Add in corporate America’s manipulation of Republican and Democratic Senators and Congressmen and the two prop each other up. I thank NPR and MSNBC for keeping me on topic. Sometimes the entertainment coming from Fox News is so sad because it actually is
justifying hate,fear,ignorance and racism for a small minority of people.But the politicians are using this clown act to stir and divide voters. The FCC should enforce the codes of conduct for news organizations. Fox has no legitimate news organization.
They repeatedly report misinformation and refuse to air retractions. Entertainment,propaganda,stroking deep seated fears and prejudices all of these describe Fox News.It’s time to drop the “News”
Does anyone know how I can contact Rupert Murdoch by email or regular post? I want to tell him about how his lies and propaganda have brainwashed an 85 year old woman who suffers from Dementia. This woman absolutely hates President Obama, and wishes him dead. She believes the Glenn Beck is the most truthful man on earth, with the exception of God. I have tried to prove to her that every thing that Fox broadcasts is a proven lie. She brought up the Birthers and the “sing praises to Obama” crap. She talked about the kindergardener who was suspended for carrying a cub scout knife to school, and said the the school never had that policy until Obama came into office. Of course she heard the last part on Fox, wish was an outright lie. We have somehow got to put a permanent stop to Fox News before some gets killed. Oh, wait. Someone did. The abortion Doctor who was killed on O’Reilly’s orders.
Excuse the typos. I am so made at this woman and Fox that my hands are shaking. I am also Dyslexic, and I sometimes type faster that my brain can register the keys that I see.
Mike, The following page has just been added with some contact info…

Glad to see the White House pushing back on Fox News and the networks consistent use of its 24/7 bashing of the administration and pushing the neo-conservative point of view.
In February 2003, a Florida Court of Appeals unanimously agreed with an assertion by FOX News that there is no rule against distorting or falsifying the news in the United States. Read the whole story here. http://www.projectcensored.org/top-stories/articles/11-the-media-can-legally-lie/
Tit for Tat. FOX supporters are boycotting best buy, Lowes, and any other sponsor which pulls its advertisement . My firm has gone as far as swapping UPS for FedEx because they pulled their ads. Lets see who gets hurt the most shall we?
james, That is your right, just like it’s every company’s right to advertise on whatever outlet they wish. UPS & FedEx probably couldn’t care less about your decision. FNC viewership, on a good night, makes up a fraction of a percent of the US population and you are but a speck of dust on their radar – one they would gladly brush away to not support partisan attacks and race baiting.
Again to James- judging by the election and the changing demographics of our country I wouldn’t bet against us. And let’s face it. We’re nicer. Keep up the good work everyone.
PS- do you have the guts to tell the name of your firm on this site. Not in a million years.
Get ready people. Lou Dobbs is probably coming to Fox, and we will want to start a boycott of his advertisers.
I make it perfectly clear that I will not do business with any establishment that has Fox News on. I used to laugh it off but it has ceased to be humorous and I now consider it a danger to our country.
Can someone direct me to the story about Fox News not having a news license, but an entertainment/media license.
I agree there is nothing funny about a so called “news channel” whose primary goal is to make ineffective the current administration (that has enough real world business to take care of). It’s unfortunate that educated people from both sides, can’t cooperate on the big issues; health care, climate change, renewable energy, job creation- just long enough to stop this country from sliding further downhill
CAncelled my Lifelock account today!! It felt good! I encourage everyone to “Vote with their Dollar”! Don’t support any company that advertises on Fox News!!!
people — We need to email the heck out of —Lexus / toyota —- it seems that have went back on their word and now are once again Sponsoring Glenn Bec
would also like to admit though the critisism Fox News is giving him right now, mostly from Bill O’Reilly. I don’t watch Fox usually but I have to say that Bill O’Reilly was truly pathological last night in saying there have been 4 terror attacks on Obama’s watch. That is nonsense. The underwear bomber was a attempted terror attack, so I’ll give Bill O’ credit for that one, but as for the other 3, the attack in Texas was the case of a shooter who went mad. He was Islamic and that made a lot of reactionaries pass it off as terror. It was the US military to blame; he had been working with the military since Bush was president. The military is not a politically correct organization; I was shocked that in Texas more of his fellow military superiors wouldn’t have questioned him earlier. I would not consider this a terror attack. There have been plots in NC and in CO that were foiled under Obama’s watch, but at least they were caught! To say that these were actual attacks is ludicrous. Go to http://www.foxnews.com and check out Bill O’s link. You’ll see what I am talking about.
While MSNBC, CNN and all the other major news stations focus on finding loved ones, helping, and showing all the relief efforts after the earthquake in Haiti for Fox news, it was business as usual. Even though you won’t be able to stand what they are actually saying, you should go to http://www.foxnews.com and look at what was discussed in the Weds, and Thurs on both Hannity, and the O’Reilly Factor. Hannity and O’Reilly continued bashing Obama’s health care program, promoting killing reform, discussing what a bad campaigner Martha Coakley in the Mass special election is, and than you can see Princess Palin on thursday night’s hannity. You’ll also see Karl Rove predicting huge Democratic losses in 2010. Fox news cannot get away with this insensitivity especially after a international disaster.
Meanwhile what does MSNBC and CNN have, footage about the earthquake in Haiti. Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow who love to entertain liberals by having some conservative idiots like Rush Limbaugh, Palin, John Boehner, and many other conservatives to poke fun at. They didn’t do that last week. While they could have been attacking Scott Brown in Mass, and focusing on all the GOP tricks to defeat health care, they had class to show the human concern of a grave tragedy in a very poor country. Fox owners, personalities and staff do not have a conscience, they do not know the appropriate times to show their human side. They are cruel and in humane people, and I hope to god that other media stations can’t condemn them for this insensitivity.
I’ve been trying to figure out the ajenda of these individuals and their employer. I’m concerned that this factual fabrication has more motivation than just simple rep vs dem. A division is being formed with hatrid and fear as the Catalyst. Amongst this confusion what is it we don’t see.
Since it went on the air, Fox News Channel has been a wholly owned subsidiary of the Republican National Committee with Rupert Murdoch propped up as a straw man owner. From 1996 – 2001 the RNC provided Fox with “news and content”. After the corrupt bought and paid for Supreme Court Justices appointed Bush as President, the White House provided “news and content” Since Obama has taken office, the content is provided in part by the RNC and Dick Cheney. The Agenda is to destroy Obama presidency and then take the country back so we can have more years of misery and suffering.
thank you for the time you put in to produce such valuable information that will definitely make me have a good day today. time to dump on fox
The content of this site and the attacks on other people as opposed to the facts that could be used to justify your points actually show how the majority of the posters are guilty of drinking too much Kool-Aid! The far Left rhetoric is all that’s discussed…the people have the ability to see through the rhetoric, and go to Fox News because they actually discuss the issues. Fox News covers the facts, and in the chance they make a mistake, the guilty party is quick to apologize and make their error known. As an American you have the right to take advantage of any opportunity, but not a right to a guaranteed result. In order to accomplish success you must work at it. Before trying to break people down, first be sure to acknowledge truthful facts as facts even if they don’t agree with your belief of a policy…the facts will set you free! Dr. Adrian Rogers said it best,
“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”
~~~~~ Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931 – 2005 ~~~~~
JF, You are yet another example of a Fox News zealot who doesn’t bother reading the content of the site, but would rather assume that, because we point out falsehoods and outright lies from Fox News, it has anything to do with left vs. right. This is right vs. wrong.
You state, “Fox News covers the facts, and in the chance they make a mistake, the guilty party is quick to apologize and make their error known.” That’s ample proof that you don’t know the facts about Fox News – that they rarely admit mistakes and it takes days, weeks or months to do so, if ever. Furthermore, they create BS policies to prevent mistakes that they have no intention of enforcing.
Ever since Fox News Channel went on the air, they have been a wholly owned subsidiary of the Republican National Committe, with Rupert Murdoch propped as the Straw Man owner. From 1996 until the illegal appointment of Georg W. Bush as Puppet President, the RNC provided Marching Orders, Talking Points and any other content for Fox News on a daily basis. From 2001 until 2009, Roger Ailes went to the White House everyday to get all of the days content from Co-President Cheney. Since President Obama took office, the RNC is now back to suppying everything to Fox.
Fox News doesn’t play by the rules. There is always a censorship of many elements of social change on all the corporate media outlets. From CNN to even MSNBC, there have been foreign regimes friendly to US capitalistic fatcats in third world countries, where human rights violations were not shown by the mainstream media. This happened especially in the 1980’s. Any regime that was not communist was never portrayed as evil as those who were communist.
I am waiting for the day a Michael Moore movie is shown on MSNBC or any other network for that matter? Is it because he doesn’t want his movies shown on corporate media stations or is it a form of censorship. Lets face it, you had the anti-choice super bowl ad on tv, but many ads that MOve On. org and other peace organizations, and probably some health reform ads were censored by the corporate media. I know for a fact that a few years ago a anti-war ad was not shown during the super Bowl. This is why American capitalism is protected at all costs by the corporate media.
Even though Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow and otehr progressives on MSNBC speak out for justice and against racism, homophobia, the health insurance robber barons and the Christian right, I think there are other things such as Michael Moore Movies that the corporate media is afraid to show.
Someone in my family watched Fox news a lot after 9/11 and i seriously started having nightmares of the 3rd Reich. The previous commenter is exactly right that the RNC did provide marching orders to Fox news, and they were convinced from day one after the attacks that Sadaam, Bin Ladin, Al quada and other Islamic groups were all tied together.
Thanks for posting the lists. This is what I was looking for. None of them are perfect, but Fox is the worst. I love to watch football, but this year I didn’t watch one game that was on Fox. I will do the same next year.
We can boycott Fox news all we want and I am glad people like us are speaking up against misinformed myths to decieve uneducated people that have been created by big insurance, wall street and religious conservatives who don’t seem to care about the future of our country. They don’t care about the fact America is ranked below some developing countries in life expectancy; they don’t care that we are 38th in the world in health care. They don’t care we are ranked extremely low in education and literacy.
Nevertheless, if health reform doesn’t pass this year, I am not sure if it ever will. We won’t be able to blame Fox news this time around. Even Huckabee himself thinks health care will pass. If it doesn’t pass this time we can blame the pandering pro-lifers in the house, who still believe the senate bill will provide abortions. We can blame the fiscal conservative hypcrites in the house who have given us bullshit reasons why they didn’t vote for the bill. We also have some progressives who don’t think the health bill goes far enough. The Democrats have confused the American people so much that I won’t blame the GOP this time if it doesn’t pass.
