2. The best way for the majority to speak right now is with their pocketbooks.
Boycott engage!

5. The bigger picture:
Benadryl and Zyrtec are manufactured by McNeil Consumer Healthcare based in Fort Washington, PA. McNeil is owned by Johnson & Johnson, a global manufacturer of pharmaceuticals, medical devices and consumer brands based in New Brunswick, NJ.

Chef Michael's Canine Creations is manufactured by St. Louis-based Purina, which is owned by Nestle SA, a multinational packaged food product manufacturer based in Vevey, Switzerland, with a USA headquarters in Glendale, CA

Dove products are manufactured by Unilever, a multinational corporation based in the Netherlands and the UK, with a USA headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, NJ.

Citracal is manufactured by Bayer AG, a Germany-based manufacturer of chemicals and pharmaceuticals with a USA headquarters in Pittsburgh.

Red Lobster is owned by Darden Restaurants, an Orlando-based restaurant operator that specializes in casual dining venues such as Olive Garden.

If you decide to boycott the brands of these corporations that advertise on FauxNews, don't forget to go up the chain and let their parent companies know. The biggest of them, no strangers to controversy, might be more sensitive to bad PR than their subsidiaries may be.

6. The thing is - alot of those advertisers advertise on all stations.
I think we need to go after them for advertising on a specific show - like Hannity.

7. I used to hand write dozens of letters at a time to advertisers
It did absolutely zip. But the zealot Christians had effect for some reason. Maybe it was because they were the willing dupes of the money elites.
