Liberals pressure Fox News advertisers

[mcdirector]

I didn't see that BiR.

I don't think either side is tolerant. I don't know that we as humans are really all that capable of tolerating views that move too far away from ours. Look what starts happening here when a gap starts to occur . . .

Ah, another Steely Dan fan! :thumbs:

That was "Stealer's Wheel".

 

[2 Timothy2:1-4]

Does that work both ways, 2 Timothy2:1-4?

Did you see what Bill Reilly did to JetBlue?

I dont have cable. and I am not an apologist for orielly. But who is preaching tolerance?

You're right. Dang, I'm getting forgetful now...getting old....old...

So one of these statments is true:
1. One side is just as good as the other.
2. One side is just as bad as the other.

That's uncalled for Hillclimber! You need to apologize.

Meh, directness has its virtues.

Olbermann Colmes Dobbs O'Reilly Hannity

Not to scale.

O'Reilly on JetBlue is how it's done when it succeeds. This one won't.

So credibility and truthfulness are determined by ratings? :laugh: :laugh:

That's not what I said :laugh: :laugh: - is it? I said it could affect the effectiveness of a boycott.

But you want to go in the credibility and truth direction? First, blogs on the left need to get ahold of "reality". This PR:

“You can’t say we’re green and give money to an organization that day after day, week after week and month after month says that global warming is something that is made up by a few kooky scientists,” Mr. Greenwald said.

“It’s not our place to judge Fox News’s position or any other media outlet’s position on global warning,” responded Ron Jarvis, vice president for environmental innovation at the retailer, based in Atlanta. “Nor will we try to influence that position with our advertising dollars. We’re advertisers, not censors.”

they're claiming as proof that their boycott is "working" means nothing, since that company - Home Depot - has never been a FOXNEWS sponsor. Bites.

The view of the unregenerate man.

As usual, all contumely and no substance.

But thanks for your input anyway, hillclimber1: your comments say more about you than they do about me......

Regards anyway,
BiR

After a little pondering...

I believe both of them may be true, but #1 made me pause to think.

One must remember here that the real rason behind the liberal "boycott" is not economic at all, but an effort to censor free speech.

As usual.

mmmm That may be true. But isn't the converse also true? When the right boycotts, it isn't really economic either.

The pocketbook is just a means to an end.

It depends on what they are boycotting.

Liberal's main goal here is to shut up what they consider to be a "conservative" voice in the media.

Yes, but I think the same can be said for the right. The main goal is to stop the "liberalization" of America. Either way both sides are trying to gain a foothold over the other, they are, in effect, trying to win. The question is whether either side is really accomplishing anything of substance for the American people. At this point I can say no.

 

[carpro]

Could be, but I can't think of any. Maybe you can refresh my memory.

What boycotts did the so called "religious right" organize in an effort to stifle free speech?

So, exactly what is Bill O'Reilly doing? Did you see what he did to JetBlue?
Or is a boycott only something bad when the LIBERALS do it?
