Stay off Fox

All year, FOX has worked 24/7 to block President Obama's agenda—repeating lies about "death panels," promoting Tea Party protests, and whipping up fake political scandals.1

Now, President Obama is fighting back. The White House communications director said FOX is a "wing of the Republican Party...let's not pretend they're a news network."2 To draw attention to its biased coverage, President Obama will not appear on FOX for the rest of this year. 3

It's about time Democrats stood up to FOX! Can you sign this petition asking Democrats to support President Obama's stance by staying off FOX as long as he does? We'll deliver it to Democratic leaders. Clicking here will add your name:

The petition says: "Democrats should support President Obama's effort to call out FOX. Please stay off FOX for as long as he does."  

Democrats often appear on FOX in hopes of reaching out to conservative viewers. But FOX cuts off their mic, distorts what they say, or runs biased headlines at the bottom of the screen.4 In the end, Democrats always lose on FOX.

FOX insists there's a difference between its news shows and its right-wing opinion shows with Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly , Sean Hannity , and others.

But in August, FOX's so-called news shows "aired 22 clips of town hall meeting attendees opposed" to Obama's health care plans and zero in support. CNN and MSNBC were more fair and balanced.5

In another "news" story, FOX passed off a GOP press release as its own research—typo and all.6

FOX executives now describe the channel as "the voice of opposition" to Obama's agenda. FOX president Roger Ailes —a former adviser to Nixon, Reagan, and George H.W. Bush —said, "I see this as the Alamo."7

But a Capitol Hill newspaper reports, "In the House and Senate, Democrats who pledged to follow the administration's near-boycott of Fox were hard to find, although many expressed support for Obama's stance."8

Democrats will only find the courage to join Obama if they hear from enough concerned voters. Sign this petition to ask Democratic leaders to stay off FOX. Clicking here will add your name:

I am Adam Alter !

Holy phycho Batman lol

Just like most networks such as CNN and ESPECIALLY MSNBC were all for trying to find any and every angle to have a story on Bush, Fox is doing it to Obama.  It's nothing but making good news and it's far from lying... it's merely questioning issues.

If you ask most people with common sense (notice I didn't say biased pig heads) they will tell you they much prefer the hard questions and issues being asked and addressed rather than kissing the Fed's butts.  A liberal questioning a conservative government official over an issue is always more productive than a reporter who is trying to make friends.  Same goes for a conservative questioning a liberal government official.

Fox isn't scared to ask the questions and they've got the ratings to show for it.  As for their 1 sided opinion shows, I usually don't waste my time on them or any other network's opinion shows.  I do like it when they have good people from different sides to debate an issue which Fox does better and more unbiased than any other network IMO.

But of course you're cearly here with an agenda and nothing else so it's pointless even trying to say anything.

Your direction,not your intentions,determines your destina

tions. 

Adam, you said the same things I've said all along. I have never seen anymore biased reportings than ABC, and CBS. They wouldn't say the truth about the present administration if there was only one side and it was all bad. They worship the ground Obama walks on and I can't understand where all the loyality comes from. When Charlie leaves ABC,things want change because Diane will be another one to walk the walk ,and talk the talk ,of ABC. That is reporting? Sugar runs so sweet about every aspect of the Obama "wants'' that you would think the American people had no thoughts on any matter whatsoever, and that's the way it will be reported.I think questions should be brought up just in case we were ever to be lied to (like we haven't over and over again).Fox let's you have a working brain for a change,and not have a couple of media outlets brain washing the public into thinking we are stupid if we see things different from them.I can see Obama on the floor now kicking his feet in the air and bawling about boycotting because he is so mistreated. How petty can you get? Boo Hooing is like a spoiled brat if things don't go your way. Who knows, this may be a ploy to make people feel so sorry for him that he can sway the Health Care down our throats after all.I don't apologize, it want work for me.

democrat and proud of it. someone trying to learn about conservatism before it becomes extinct

fox is just an extension of the republican party. it is mostly a right wing opinion station that rarely deals in facts. the far right only wants to hear what they want to hear and fox is more than willing to do that form them. fox makes its money off of the paranoia and hate of the far right. the more they can anger the far right the more they tune in. that is why facts and truth are not important to hannity, orilley and their biggest lying hate monger beck. i never thought fox could find a bigger idiot than hannity but i was wrong. the far right doesnt have many outlets to help fuel their hate that is why they run to fox to tune in. their other options are hate radio and the internet. any news source doesnt spew constant hate towards obama and the dems are considered biased to the left in their eyes.

Liberals are all for free speech and freedom of the press as long as critics agree with their agenda (they love CNN, CBS, NBC). BUT when critics  disagree with liberals or  criticize Obama their reaction is to call for a boycott and refuse to allow any of the critics to exercise their right to disagree. Fox has been like a breath of fresh air.
