Wow! I hope you're right Lillie. One of the (many) things that bothers me about "Fix News" most is the fact that lots of people watch Fox-especially the likes of Glen Beck, Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly. Beck has had some trouble keeping his sponsors, but bottom line: Fox is a network and the most important measure of survival for a cable network is the number viewers, which translates into advertising dollars. Fox ain't hurtin' on either and that makes it tough to see a singular episode bringing it down. Even if it "runs out" there would only be another voice of the right to fill in the void.

It won't be too be long before that network hits a social iceberg the equivalent or larger than the magnitude of the BP oil spill. ( Have you checked BP's stock prices lately? That's what I'm talking about. ) FOX is going to let the wrong clown loose sooner than later!! It is coming!! I'm not a prophetess, but I've been around a minute or two.

I just watched several mainstream news channels back track and offer their support to Ms. Sherrod. Colorofchange does an excellent job of mobilizing people and actually impacting society and bringing about action. I am all for moving forward with a resolution regarding Fox that calls them out for their racist, sexist skewed points of view that lead our society to intolerance and hatred. They are more often wrong than right and should be called out for masquerading as a credible news source. This seems much more important than our AEJMC president calling out the President for not being accessible to the press. AEJMC as a whole should be outraged at Fox's antics!!!!!! Truly this is what Carol should be addressing. Who would like to be in charge of drafting a resolution that we can vote on at our business meeting?
