Faux News evaluating Bush ads
Bush ads have been played and replayed on Faux News today under the guise of a news story. Pundits have concluded the ads are very well done. Isn't this just free publicity? How can they get by with this?

1. Because you're watching
If nobody watched Faux News Channel, they'd change their tune in a second.

Of course, that's more difficult now, since -- for example -- they pay to be shown in places like Wal-Mart.

But, honest, if the Democrats would simply boycott Faux and refuse to treat them as a legitimate news operation, things might change in a big hurry -- and Joe Sixpack might start to recognize the American Pravda for what it is.

2. I don't watch it
In fact the cafe in my work switched from CNN to FOX yesterday, and I told the owner I would boycot the place if they did not change the TV back to CNN and he did =).

3. hah thats great
I stopped going to a deli because they always had fox news on last summer. I didn't want to sit there waiting for food listening to that filth, right during the Iraq war lead up.

4. These dumb ads should ...
... backfire. They are shamelessly exploiting 9/11. They are trying to re-write history. This is phony "feel good" propaganda. How can anyone not be offended by this "don't worry — be happy" junk?
