A Financial Times editor calls for a Fox News advertiser boycott
Source: Vox
The US editor of the Financial Times is calling for a boycott of companies that advertise on Fox in the wake of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting and the pipe bombs sent to leading Democrats.
The most effective thing Americans can do is boycott companies that advertise on Fox, wrote Edward Luce, the FT editor, on Twitter on Saturday. They bankroll the poison that goes from the studio into Trumps head. The second is vote.
The call was an unusual one for a journalist. But Luce who had tweeted on Friday that Trump has normalized the language of violence in US politics was one of a growing number of prominent voices, including former conservatives who oppose Trump, speaking out against Fox News and Fox Business.
Max Boots, a conservative columnist and former Christian Science Monitor editor, appeared on CNN this morning urging investors to boycott Fox News until they pull back from the hate.

(9,090 posts)fox is important but its a toned down cartoon version of what talk radio does all the time.
the bomber lived in a van and ill bet he wasnt watching fox while making bombs. the media and fbi need to include their listening and watching habits and stop ignoring the connection with talk radio, a more effective vehicle for selling big lies and inciting violence because it has no political counterpart to compete with it directly.
a couple of years ago the local blowhard on before limbaugh was attacking the sanctuary city concept and said this
Have you ever seen the Purge movies or whatever they are? Some people may say hey maybe thats not a bad idea. You watch one of those movies, okay? For like 12 hrs youre allowed to kill whoever you want..... commit whatever crime...
these stations have been attacking immigrants for 20 years to create the pretext for Republican voter suppression legislation. now they are stoking the anti caravan hate.
heres limbagh 10/23/18, a week ago, selling it as a leftist creation, bought and paid for by the usual suspects and hes attacked soros many times the last 2 years for being part of the anti-trump deep state coup
What you find in the drive by media is entire total mischaracterizations. That these are desperately poor people wonderful people fleeing poverty in their homeland and that's not at all what they are. They are part of an organized mob. There is no question about this. It is an organized mob and like everything else. The left is behind at some point in the future we're going to learn exactly how this thing was pulled up. We're going to learn who did it. We're going to learn who paid for it. We're going to learn who scripted just like we've learned how they did the Cavanaugh's thing with Dr. Ballsey and how that was structured how that was planned how it was kept in reserve.
Nothing that appears spontaneous or organic where it benefits the left is spontaneous or organic. It is all structured. It's all planned. It's all scripted and it's all paid for.
You look at this caravan and it is it ought to scare everybody. It is exactly the threat this country has faced for years.
The drive bys claim they're walking. They're not walking.
So when the cameras aren't there some of these people have to be being driven.
But it is all orchestrated. None of this is organic.
Somebody is making this happen. Somebody set this up it obviously is a bunch of leftists who set this up and when you look at that and examine it from that standpoint you've you've got to wonder what it is that makes them think they are going to win massive elections.
And it is clear to me not only examining the caravan the mob see there I go I even got caught up calling it what it is it's not a caravan it's a mob. It's a bought and paid for and structured scripted mob.
and artificial intelligence made it a lot easier to list advertisers for those hate radio stations
