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.

I predict that FOX News is soon going to crash
pretty soon. 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. As the old folks down here in Arkansas
sometimes used to say: "They gon' run out if they keep on" like
that.

I am signing this today! 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?
