Colorado Comcast subscribers boycott Fox!
Edited on Thu Dec-02-04 12:30 PM by Cadence
Write to them and request that Fox news be blocked from your lineup. We're boycotting Fox. If they tell you they can't because they don't have a trap in place ask them to create it and provide this service to their customers. If you have satellite it's much easier to call and have the channel removed.

Here's my letter part of it I borrowed from another Du'er who did the same thing.

To Comcast,

Could you block the Fox News Channel (42) from our home lineup? If you don't have a trap currently in place to provide this service to your customers I implore you to create one.
I consider their slanted journalism and misinformation to be a danger to our democracy.

I urge you to read the recent Pew Research report which found Fox viewers to be the most misinformed news viewers in America and research by the Program on International Policy Attitudes, based at the University of Maryland in College Park, which found that "80 percent of those who said they relied on Fox News .... believed at least one of the three misperceptions .

Thank You,
xxxxxx

Edit: If anyone finds a more direct email address where this can be sent to have a bigger impact please post!

1. better yet
quit sending money to comcast all together. Let them know that until the progressive left or the dems or what ever you want to call it has their own "public relations" channel ala faux, they will be getting no more money from you.

If enough people did this, it would work.

2. that's absurd
Comcast has no control over what the progressive left/Democrats are doing about getting their own channel!

They do show FSTV - Democracy Now.
