Media Matters Renews ‘Drop Fox’ Campaign…But Why Now?

What are the odds?
What are the odds that an organization funded by billionaire/spooky dude George Soros would call for people to demand that cable companies across the country drop Fox News from their channel line up exactly one week after Fox News released a report detailing the very large George Soros web of media connections? (Covered on TheBlaze last week.)
Coincidence? I think not.
Just last Tuesday, Fox News released part one of their investigative story on billionaire George Soros, his connection to over 30 different media outlets, and the massive amounts of money he “donates” to non-profit organizations that all seem to support his dream of a border-free, global society.
Today brings part two of Fox’s Soros story. This piece devotes considerable effort to finding out why Soros is spending $48 million dollars to fund the various media outlets and media schools that ultimately feed the MSM.
It is no secret that Media Matters is one of the largest recipients of those coveted Soros dollars and today they renewed the call for cable and satellite providers to “Drop Fox News.”
Back in March, Glenn detailed some of the surprising depth to which Media Matters is going in order to attack him and Fox News.
Politico has also reported on some of Media Matters’ battle plans:
“The strategy that we had had toward Fox was basically a strategy of containment,” said Brock, Media Matters’ chairman and founder and a former conservative journalist, adding that the group’s main aim had been to challenge the factual claims of the channel and to attempt to prevent them from reaching the mainstream media. The new strategy, he said, is a “war on Fox.”
War on Fox? Yes indeed. The Politico story continues:
Media Matters, Brock said, is assembling opposition research files not only on Fox’s top executives but on a series of midlevel officials. It has hired an activist who has led a successful campaign to press advertisers to avoid Glenn Beck’s show. The group is assembling a legal team to help people who have clashed with Fox to file lawsuits for defamation, invasion of privacy or other causes. And it has hired two experienced reporters, Joe Strupp and Alexander Zaitchik, to dig into Fox’s operation to help assemble a book on the network, due out in 2012 from Vintage/Anchor.
Perhaps the only surprising part of this story is that it took Media Matters an entire week to write the mass email, create a logo for their campaign, and send it off to every subscriber to their website. (I do subscribe to keep an eye on them — just as they have people monitoring TheBlaze.) Could this renewed campaign have any relationship to the Fox New story that pulls back the curtain on Soros, his money and his ambitions to create a global society? As we like to say, The Truth Has No Agenda.
This is the email that squeaked past my spam folder today.
Dear Friend,
In what is nothing less than a victory for civil discourse and responsible media, Glenn Beck will soon be leaving Fox News.
Don’t think for a minute, however, that Beck’s departure means Fox News has suddenly embraced accountability and restored credibility. A responsible journalistic organization wouldn’t have needed two years, a million lost viewers, and hundreds of lost advertisers to show Beck the door — but Fox News isn’t a responsible journalistic organization. The network still specializes in misinformation and falsehoods, including their famous tagline: “fair and balanced.”
Fox News can’t keep the lies going alone. The network relies on the support of a wide range of advertisers who, through their financial support, help Fox News maintain a full-time operation promoting deception, provoking anger, and serving as the Republican Party’s mouthpiece all under the guise of news.
Because this has gone far enough, we‘ve launched a new campaign to show advertisers just what they’re sponsoring when they partner with Fox News and to inform the public about which companies are supporting Fox’s dishonest and divisive agenda.
Join us today at Drop Fox.
It’s time for advertisers to decide. Will they continue to put their brand on the line by spending money to associate their products with bigotry, political attacks, and deliberate misinformation? Will they risk their reputation by helping to perpetuate Fox’s toxic effect on civil discourse? Or will they act responsibly and pull their ads from the so-called news network?
The hundreds of advertisers who refused to support Beck’s nightly hour of hate and paranoia put much-needed pressure on Fox News to get him off the air. As the rise and fall of Glenn Beck shows, Fox News and its parent company News Corp. will only respond when their bottom line is threatened. Together, we can change the incentives for News Corp. and end the destructive effect Fox News has on our national conversation.
Get involved in this important effort!

Posted on May 18, 2011 at 3:52pmLocal cable companies get to sell ads on channels they carry – they are paid by the size of the audience, so I’d find it hard to believe any profit-seeking cable company would ditch the highest-rated cable news channel because a few folks threw together a petition. In fact, I’m surprised cable companys still carry MSNBC, CNN, Headline News, etc., based on THEIR ratings.

“A responsible journalistic organization wouldn’t have needed two years, a million lost viewers, and hundreds of lost advertisers to show Beck the door — but Fox News isn’t a responsible journalistic organization.”
“a million lost viewers” – that imples that Fox had a million more viewers in the 5-6 PM Eastern timeslot BEFORE Beck joined Fox than they do now – a simple, factual statement anyone can check.
I don‘t happen to have over two years of ratings history for Glenn’s show handy, but I can tell you that it sounds like what they are describing is the difference between Glenn’s highest and lowest ratings numbers (3 million viewers at peak, current about 2 million). Glenn built that time slot into a ratings powerhouse, one that trumps every other cable news network not only in that time slot, but also in prime time…
If Glenn Beck is a ratings failure at 2 million viewers/night at 5-6 PM, what does that make his competition with less than one-third the ratings?

When when will someone in DC get a “set” and seriously start an investigation into Soros. The man is clearly dirty and is engaged in subversive campaign against the US.He IS an enemy of the state http://tinyurl.com/2fmwjzy. Fox stands in his way as it is the only media outlet right now that airs his dirty laundry mainly through Beck and Oreilly.
Where where are the wealthy conservatives to combat Soros. The left labels the Koch bros but I dont see what they claim. Trump carries on about how he loves this country but how much money has he directly spent against the left? To all of those who have had a successful life, you do understand that which enabled you to get filthy rich is now at stake. the “doors” you went through for financial freedom are quickly being welded shut and if you think you will be able to escape this country and take your money with you dont bank on it. Bwawny Frank and his ilk are creating legislation to stop that.

When We the People have had enough then We the People will expose the truth for what it is…Until then We the People will be ostriches with our head in the sand and rear in the air….

Posted on May 18, 2011 at 4:47pmLets for a moment assume MM is correct, that Fox news is biased. Well, a few moments after you stop laughing, but….
So does that mean MSDNC’s 4 hours of noise pollution starting with big ed is the TRUE “fair and balanced”, non-hate filled propaganda machine, unbiased network?
The hypocracy is stunning.
And I’ve been watching Fox news since its inception, and I have NEVER heard anything hateful OR racist on the network. Even by comparison to MSDNC’s 4 hours of…”Beck may have lost 1,000,000 viewers but STILL beats all four of those turds combined in ratings” lunitic ravings, mockery and smarminess.
The advertisers are smart, and know where to go to get to the most potential buyers. I say we do a reverse boycott and make it a point to buy from those advertisers when applicable and mail in the UPC codes to their corporate offices with letters showing our support for Fox news AND their advertisers.

Posted on May 18, 2011 at 4:54pmWas this letter written by Adolph Hitler? Did anyone catch all those lies Fox told? Did anyone even catch one lie? I watch Glen Beck often and have never seen a single lie, not one, not ever. The email is nothing but 1930 propaganda for the Nazi party…the new Notsee Party, the party of Pelosi and Reid and the wealthy owners of the DNC. Boycott any company that advertises on Mediamatters and moveon. Send the advertisers a letter of you concern that they advertise on those media outlets. There are far more of us…than there are of the moveons…..make Soros fund it all on his own….OSOC

Posted on May 18, 2011 at 5:08pmSeriously have boycotts EVER worked? Its not the boycott its the PR that hurts and quite frankly Fox is like teflon coated titanium when it comes to PR. Say all you want MM and Soros, it won’t stick……you can’t have 5 to 10 times more viewers that will pay any attention to your whining. Like many have already stated, if Fox is dropped from my cable, I drop my cable. I can watch anything I want on the internet and there are plenty of great internet only services out there…..care to try it?!?! Lets see who has the stronger viewing audience? I‘ll pit my local schmokal Fox station against the NYT and I bet we’d win. BUT I like that you’re spending your money so fruitlessly.

Posted on May 18, 2011 at 6:06pmConsidering the income demographics of the left wing fringe that would rant over fox, there is no reason to listen to them. The cable co should ask for the yearly income of the person demanding fox be dropped so they can have a good laugh.
Don’t you just love the left wing – they want to shut down anyone that is not in lock step with their delusional utopia. If you are not down with the open society no borders $6 gas & carbon credit redistribution scam, then your ideas are not allowed in the main public square and Soros will use his wealth to distort the media & narrative. This guy Soros is trying to shape what you see & hear so that all of the available media 100% agrees with his vision & policies. Talk about a sick control freak.
More Americans need to be made aware of just how dangerous this man is.

No, that still doesn’t seem to have that certain je ne sais quoi I was looking for. How about Willy? Better yet, Little Willey. Yes, that has a much better ring to it and certainly seems to fit your personality. Why the Beck hate. Does the truth make you uncomfortable? All Beck does is tell the truth. Better yet, Beck SHOWS us the truth with his videos and tapes. But not to worry, the truth will set you free from the deepest darkness of the leftist agenda. There, don’t you feel a bit better already?

Posted on May 18, 2011 at 8:40pmWe should call it what it is, “economic terrorism.”. These vermin start chain reactions that ultimately suppress our freedoms. Under the protection of Clinton’s CRA, the left used similar terror tactics to force major banks to give out NINJA loans —> the housing bubble —> -burst —> the financial crisis/panic —> Obum’s election.
The “chain attack” against Fox News reached its climax when Glenn was let go. One would’ve thought it was mission accomplished, considering all the left-wingers who work at and are given a platform on the one conservative network in this country. I guess those “specials” Glenn talked about can still make them lose sleep at night, but I am betting things will go downhill for FNC after Glenn leaves. It is not an easy thing for businesses to stand up to totalitarian regimes. That is a historical fact.

These advertisers should know that if they follow this big mouth small group of whiners and try to bring down Fox then we ALL WILL get together in a group that they never thought was so big and we will do everything that can legally be done to cause them to shut their doors for a total loss of any profit they ever hoped to make.

Word of warning though, Breitbart did this to Shirley Sherrod, did some selective editing and now is going to court for defamation, a fight he’ll lose. And O’Keefe is a convicted criminal and discredited after the obvious set-up with the CNN reporter.

Once again………assumptions on your part.

Okie mentioned a majority of Reps.
By definition of the word “Majority”, Republicans would have to be included, no?
We are not so blind as to think that our side has no “Lemons”
I also think it’s obvious that Okie would keep any and all of his endeavors on the “Up and Up”
Don‘t need to cheat when you’re right.

If so post it, and we, your friends will trade with you.
I’m always looking for good history books and very old books, one I have is Bible Readings for the Home Circle dated 1888. I need to get this book recovered so I can use it for Bible Studies.
I’ve already showed it to Pastor and he was quite impressed.
I am unable to get a value of the book, what it’s worth.
Also since I know not how to post a new thread here, the site don’t give you a link.

Posted on May 19, 2011 at 9:23amI am thinking that IF FOX lost 2 million viewers .. the MSM lost 10 million.. OH YA they never had that many.. What old spooky dude doesn’t realize is people watch MORE in colder weather than in warmer weather well that is the case for REAL people with lives not the TROLLS that watch MSM and sit in the house all day and night.. A OLD BLOW HARD like SORO’S are just that FULL OF HOT AIR..(most likely the reason for the left yelling about GLOBAL WARMING they are standing to close to a lefty).. IF my cable company took FOX off it would save me money.. the only reason I get the package I do is BECAUSE of FOX.. and I would immediately get a company that DID carry it.. I do realize that SORO’S THINKS Beck is leaving FOX because of him.. BOY is he in for a shock..NOW he has NO where to watch what GLENN is doing.. LIKE what GLENN said about VAN JONES.. only VAN BAD.. GLENN GOOD.. I love watching people like SORO’S self destruct at their own mouths.. LOL.. I can boycott SOROS I don‘t watch or read ANYTHING he’s involved in and have already informed all about him.. even my nephew who is in his 20‘s think SORO’S is a pick of crap and can’t stand him..

Liberal Media is biased.
Fox News is biased.
Each bias has it’s own agenda. I used to believe FOX news actually tried to be fair, but they have conducted so many hit jobs on Ron Paul’s campaign it is disgusting.
They also distort his core values, and they continue to spew this one liner “He is unelectable” while giving no proof, they just scream their lies as loud as possible so people will accept them.
If you honestly believe that the Liberal Media is biased, and FOX news is not, you need to get your information from books, and not the T.V.
