Tea Party Group Boycotts Fox – For Going Too Far to the Left!

Posted by Margarita -3pc on March 23, 2013 · Flag

This very weekend, gentle reader, a group of Tea Party activists is boycotting Fox News because they think it’s gone soft, especially since the last election. 

The boycott, which lasts till tomorrow morning according to this article (h/t Headly) is linked to a group that runs a blog called Benghazi Truth! Send the message to FOX, the blogger exhorts. TURN HARD RIGHT -Benghazi, birth certificate - all of it, 24/7, like a serious news organization going after a politician which has always been the job of the media -or just go away.

I haven’t read through all of the blog's interminable prose (though I note the writer is a big Alice in Wonderland fan and I wonder what Freud would think of that), but it's obvious that Fox's saturation outrage manufacture investigative reporting on "Benghazi-gate" hasn't been enough for these dedicated conservatives. They have other reasons for being critical of Fox, such as donating to more Democrats than Republicans. “We need Fox to turn right,” said a boycott participant. “We think [Benghazi] is a coverup and Fox is aiding and abetting it. This is the way Hitler started taking over Germany, by managing and manipulating the news media.”

It’s the second boycott the group has organized this month. The last one, boasts the blog, knocked 22% off Fox’s ratings and scared Sean Hannity into devoting a whole episode to Benghazi, though the Daily Beast article says it had little effect. 

Boycotters suffering Fox withdrawal are directed to other totally reliable hard-news sites like breitbart.com and The Blaze. The group is also looking forward to the arrival of the new conservative network, One America.

Fox News has enough self-preservation to realize that they need to clean up for 2014, but not enough to not get in bed with the Teabaggers in the first place.

Seriously, go to the sites that claim strong affiliation with them- their actual domain, Town Hall, blogs from their leaders… these people make Stormfront look politically and racially balanced. The fact that they have chapters who got skinheads elected into office, and they only turned on the ones who tried to run Dem doesn’t help.

I, for one, can’t wait until the day these people are out of the political arena for good. At the very least, I’ll sleep a lot better at night.

Ahhh, now it all makes sense!
For fun, I flip over to hannity or oreilly from time to time. WoW! I noticed they are worse than ever! I saw billy SCREAMING at poor Alan Colmes who was trying to answer his stupid question.
And, hannity has become a ‘bad boy’ and more of a bully than ever! All that hate & name calling..like an 8 year old.
They know it’s all over for them….
(no loss)

Not a good week for the conservative frauds at this fraudulent so-called “news” outlet.

The conservative masses have turned against these Nixon trainee Ailes mouthpieces. As a result, their ratings are dropping faster than east coast temperatures.

We are waiting for Billy to call the Tea Nuts “pinheads.” That surely will set them off big time.

More bad news for Nixon-trainee Ailes. Conservative Michael Reagan, yes, that Michael Reagan, smacked down the Fox “News” Channel on Newsmax. He called the network boring and stale. He said High End Hannocchio’s little show is boring.

This Franklin Square street hustler does not have the guts to take on Reagan. He’s afraid of him. Reagan can wipe the floor with Hannocchio with one hand.

Grab a box of popcorn and a glass of wine. You will enjoy this article from a conservative.

Fox “News” Is Boring

http://www.newsmax.com/Reagan/Media-Conservatives-Predictable-Fox/2013/03/22/id/495875

Coming down the pipe:

1. Ruthless Rupy faces his biggest nightmare at News Corporation.
2. Retirement time is near for Rupy.
3. Nixon trainee Ailes faces a serious public relations crisis at this fraudulent “news” outlet
4. Hannocchio’s true colors are exposed to the conservative masses.

NOTE TO DICTATOR AILES

This time you can’t blame Obama for the Newsmax article. There are more anti-Fox articles coming down the pipe from conservatives. Enjoy!
