[Peace-discuss] Fw: It’s time to stop FOX News

[C. G. Estabrook]

  I agree.

It's remarkable how willing liberals are to abandon their own announced 
principles on free speech if it's their oxymoron that's gored...

As another friend of mine used to say, the first task of radicals is to demand 
that liberals live up to their principles.

A couple weeks ago we launched Turn Off Fox, our big new effort to stop Fox News 
from spreading misinformation and stoking division in our communities. *Over 
125,000 of us have already signed up for the campaign — will you join us?* 
You’ll get a FREE “Turn Off Fox” sticker, and we’ll tell you how to get more 
involved if you can. Click here:

It's happened to all of us. You're in a public place and Fox News is on TV. You 
sit and simmer, or pack up and move on. You can't bear the idea that the lies, 
distortions and race-baiting that Fox News uses to divide our country are being 
promoted as mainstream news.
