You just don't like lying sacks of garbage. A healthy reaction.

Frankly if one of those sacks of garbage comes into a room I'm in, I'll make my excuses and leave. I just don't feel comfortable around sacks of garbage.

I guess a fine line would be "And I think that people shouldn't support businesses who advertise there." At that point you are hoping to financially punish the Fox Network for expressing opinions you disagree with (and that I disagree with).

establishments that I know donate to the Republicans. If they donate money then I don't do business with them. I will not accept that even one dime of my money will be spent against my well being. I don't however punish for beliefs, just if they use money to enhance those beliefs. clear as mud I guess.

I mean this sort of argument go on for a while; and I can certainly see where you are coming from.

And certainly them paying to advertise on the local right wing radio station may well indicate that they also send money to the local RNC.

That said, it's hard to convince people of the wrongness of republicanism without talking to them, and if we boycott those businesses do we cut ourselves off from the opportunity to point out how crummy republicans are?

I don't know - I do oppose all boycotts designed to punish someone for using free speech; but beyond that there's a lot of issues involved.

Here I was, hoping it was about something other than porn. Bleh.

But I don't equate opposition to porn with opposition to freedom or the first amendment.

sounds like you're exercising your 1A right to criticize Fox news and those who watch it.

please keep the conversation in one thread?




Thanks

It's about whether saying that something is bad or harmful implies that one is against freedom of expression.

LEMME AT THEM!!!

should be allowed to label it as news either. I think because of the fact that 95% of what they say is complete & utter bullshit they should be required to label it as entertainment rather than news.

I am well aware of the fact that they took their case to court & won the right to lie. However, I think a disclaimer should be required.

And I won't apologize for that.

I would say the worst.

Glad you're here! Some of us call it Pox Noise. Some of us call it Faux News. Some of us just simplify that and call it Shit. One syllable covers all!
