   Hi. Your address above for Adobe doesnt work. It says BMW, and it leads nowhere. Thanks for your work. I am finding it hard to contact Adobe.

   Thanks for putting this together. I am very interested in disseminating information about FOX News because it is clear that many people just don’t realize what is really going on when it comes to Fox News. Once it is pointed out to them and they have a choice… then that is something else. But the reality is that many people don’t know that Fox is not NEWS and is not ‘fair and balanced’… and some make a different choice when they realize what is really going on.

   Unfortunately, many of the people who watch Fox News don’t care about “fair and balanced,” so the personalities like O’Reilly, Hannity & Beck just cater to them and feed them the BS they want to hear. You can’t change their minds. But there are many people who don’t follow Fox News religiously, but believe the misinformation when its on in their dentist’s office, a in a restaurant, or they’re sent a link from a friend – those are the people that need to be reached.

   Thanks for doing the research for us. I would like to see a ‘pick of the month’ because I think a single target has a greater impact. Lowe’s for example is nation wide and this is gardening month in most places. For those who don’t think hate mongering media has an impact I suggest reading An Extraordinary Life by Paul Rusesabagina (Hotel Rwanda manager). A quick look at Rwanda will show how the media worked to generate a genocide. I have written Fox about their irresponsible ‘story telling’, it can’t be called journalism.

   Sharrie, Perhaps you overlooked it, but today I started the Boycott of the Month (BOTM), which can be found on the left side of the front page. I’ve selected five companies from a random viewing of the Fox News Channel and/or a Fox News web site.

   You can view the companies selected for June here:

   Hey everyone,
   I’m wondering if we couldn’t get further with this if we joined forces and filed some sort of complaint with the Federal Broadcast regulatory agency demanding that FOX take the word “NEWS” off their broadcasts title. Since they are not really a news channel and only “entertainment” this is false advertising and misleads the viewer. I just think the sponsor list is soooo huge that it might be better to try going after them from another angle. What if they had to change their name to Fox “Opinion” or Fox “Entertainment”? Wouldn’t that be a sweet victory.

    I thought it would be helpful to post the list by category, so if you’re looking for office supplies, for instance, you can quickly see who is NOT a sponsor (e.g., Staples) – and use the list above to notify sponsors of your choice to shop elsewhere.

    I hope I got the categories right for all of them. Interesting how many car and health and travel companies there are.

    I notice that a lot of these companies seem to cater to “older” viewers .. Aricept and other drug products — and to those who aren’t exactly environmentally friendly .. Hummer and the like. But Napster? cell phone companies? Those seem like folks who need younger folks’ dollars as well. I think some letters written to those type companies would have quicker impact.

    Ree, Could you explain what would constitute an iPod-friendly list? Would a PDF suffice? I’ve received numerous requests for various formats of the list and it would be impossible for me to provide so many, and keep them up-to-date.

    As for the form letters, there is one available here:
    http://foxnewsboycott.com/resources/sample-letter/

    I’ve thought about the automatic submissions, but it’s not plausible. I couldn’t possibly afford postage necessary to send so many letters via USPS, and I wouldn’t want to be accused of being a spammer by having automated email forms.

    If anyone has suggestions on how to fulfill any of the above requests, please contact me here:

    “Unfortunately, many of the people who watch Fox News don’t care about ‘fair and balanced…’

    Good journalism is simply reporting the truth, which is decidedly not fair and rarely achieves anything which can remotely be called balance. So the idea was wrong at the outset. And it got worse.

    Even if you don’t buy their products, at least let them know that they are funding an organization you don’t support. Send an e-mail, post a message. Networks respond to pressure. Let’s exert some.
    The ‘moral majority’ uses a few dozen motivated people to dictate what is on our airwaves, and the direction of our society. Fox is a business first, and will respond as such. Toss them a note an let them know their support of such a polemic radical manipulative media source will not be tolerated or receive your support.

    My Sister-in-laws 85 year old Mother-in-law lives with them and she is an avid watcher of Fox News. This poor woman has been brainwashed by the spin, distortion and outright lies broadcast by Fox. Because of all of the fear that they broadcast about the things that Pres. Obama is supposedly going to do to this country, she has resorted to eating nothing more than beans, rice, and vegetables. She refuses to allow any meat to be brought into the house, because “Obama is going to make so hard for use to survive”. She has even been known to give all of the meat in the freezer away. Her health is deteriorating because of her poor diet. I wish that there was a way to put a stop to Fox News. They have tried to block the channel,, but she gets another one of her sons to come over and unblock it.

    I have placed all fox owned channels on parental lockout on my cable tv, my husband and I are concerned about the effect the continious level of hate speech our children were exposed to. We work hard to instill the values of respect ,tolerance,and common courtesy towards others, In my opinion fox does the opposite. I have also called the corperations of the products my family and I use to express my concerns. ItIt is sad to see a corperation such as fox use the airwaves to attempt to divide and denegrade our nation.

    We just called LLBean. The person who answered the phone asked supervisors etc and said that LLBean does not advertise on FoX on a regular basis but they might at christmas time. we are big spenders at LLBeAN and told her that we were very disappointed that they chose to advertise at all on fox. We also told our State Farm agent that we were switching to another company unless State farm stopped advertising on Fox.

    Is there a distinction made between Fox network and Fox news? While I think Fox network, in general is disgusting and that Rupport may be close to being the Antichrist, I would not be too dismayed if Apple were advertising on The Simpsons program period but would be horrified to know that they advertise on Fox News.

    Also, other sites have updates that show many of the companies listed above (Campbell soup for example) as now having ceased their advertising with Fox News. Is your site up to date?

    I appreciate your efforts and support them with regards to Fox news.

I’ve decided to boycott any sponsors who advertise for any hate spewer on the radio and any radio station that airs this garbage, in addition to Fixed News. It kinda pains me as many of these advertisers are local businesses, but as long as the advertising money keeps coming in, they will keep the lies on the air. Is there any organized way to boycott these hosts’ radio sponsors too?

    just a quick suggestion for a letter, in case you need a hand

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    I am a fan of your products/ company, but I am also a politically aware individual. Foxnews is a threat to fair news reporting and endangers civil peace and seeds hatred even internationally with forged and false information. This channel is going too far and has been for a while – many people are tiered of it. Many of us realized that there is no other way than withdrawing support from whatever feeds the propaganda-beast Murdoch has raised. Hence, we are withdrawing support from Foxnews’ supporters.

    I have read that you do support foxnews, which I hope is not the case. However, if you do support foxnews, I would kindly ask you to confirm this to me. In that case I will restrain from using or buying any of your products until I see confirmation that you stopped your support of foxnews.

    No response will naturally be taken as admittance of your support. I will mention your reaction with your name and contact info in an upcoming blog.

    Hi Steve,

    Thank you for visiting http://www.kraft.com/.

    Thank you for sharing your comments with us.

    We have a longstanding policy not to advertise on programs with extreme or inflammatory content on any network.

    In recent years, there has been a proliferation of shows with extreme content, including on the political front. These shows often are controversial and do not align with our company or brand values. We do not want to become associated with controversy simply because of the placement of a 30-second spot. That’s why we have made the decision to stop advertising on the more politically extreme programs, including The Glenn Beck Show, on all networks.

    If you haven’t done so already, please add our site to your favorites and visit us again soon!

I love “Family Guy” and various 20th Century Fox movies, but don’t we need to send a message to them that we’re boycotting them as well? It amazes me that progressives like Matt Groening of The Simpsons helped to fund the rise of FOX “News.” Or am I off base?

    This list very badly needs updated; a LOT of companies on here have pulled their advertising. We need to show them respect and no longer harass them since they openly spoke to the press about their withdrawal. Plus it wastes our time and effort to end up choosing companies that actually are no longer part of this, and missing chances against those still sponsoring.

    Please webmaster, go through the articles citing companies that have complied, and remove them from this list so they can feel good about their decision, and so we are not boycotting the innocent. Thank you.

      ZaCloud, You must be referring to Glenn Beck sponsors. Most of those sponsors are still with Fox News Channel. Those that have left FNC completely have been removed from the list. I won’t remove any just because they pull ads off one show, even if it may be the most offensive, but they noted as they leave.

    Hi!

    Deema did do a great job of organizing and listing FAUX sponsors. However, that’s from June 10, and some of those companies listed may no longer be advertising on Beck/Fox.

    It would really be great to see a central, comprehensive list that shows…

    1.) ALL sponsors on FAUX.

    2.) Which sponsors advertise on non-radical news channels also (equal advertisers.)

    3.) Which companies advertise on particularly heinous programs like Beck, Limbaugh, and Hannity

    4.) how many minutes they advertise on these programs.

    I know that’s a tall order… Don’t expect you can do it all — just contributing my priorities for your consideration.

    Keep up the great work!

    Thanks!

    I’m a newbie to this site and i’m glad i found it! I was shocked to find out that places where i shop like Lowes & Best Buy are Fox News sponsors! So i sent off the below email via your links (and a similar one to Best Buy!) Thanks for putting this stuff out there.. Sorry to see them off my favorite places to shop list…

    —

    I didn’t know Best Buy was a sponsor on Fox News…. I am upset since i shop at a Best Buy here in New Jersey! I’ve bot laptops, gps and lots of small stuff there before! Since that’s the case, I’ll be taking my business to another company that does not support modern propaganda.

    Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, Fox & Friends, Glen Beck?? no way.

    Simply put, I don’t want my money supporting Fox News or any affiliate of World News Corp.

    I am a realtor & many of my customers in the area are more main stream. I’m sure they’ll be surprised to find out also.
