Recently, a Fox News host, Brian Kilmeade, called for homeless and mentally ill people to be given "involuntary lethal injections." "Just kill them," he said. This is not a joke or an exaggeration, he really did say that.
Due to people pushing back hard against Kilmeade, they forced him to apologize live, on-air.
Here's an Associated Press article about it.
I don't think a forced apology is enough. A corporation that enabled this kind of hate should pay a high price. I think we should organize a targeted campaign against Fox Corporation for allowing this country to fall so far.
Thankfully, Fox Corporation is publicly-traded (their stock symbol is FOXA). This gives us some ideas for how to impact their revenue, with specific steps to do so.
- They get a lot of revenue from affiliate fees by being included in cable TV packages.
- They are investing heavily in Tubi, which is fully-owned by Fox Corporation.
- They spend a lot of money to carry sports broadcasts, especially the Super Bowl.
- They also receive a lot of revenue from advertisers, but this is not as "sticky" to companies (they can just find new advertisers).
Here are the suggested steps for people to boycott Fox, spread the word on these:
- If you have cable, find out if Fox News is included in your cable package.
If it is, call your cable company and threaten to cancel your cable unless they pull Fox News from their package.
1.a. I suggest coordinating a cancel date to September 30, so cable companies can see a noticeable drop in revenue if they don't remove Fox.
-
Boycott Tubi and spread the word that Tubi is fully-owned by Fox Corporation.
-
Boycott Fox for sports and spread the word on this.
-
Contact companies that advertise on Fox News and request that they pull their ads.
I believe it's possible to punish Fox News if we follow through with these steps. Let me know if you have any questions! Feel free to take this plan and edit it if you can think of something better.
Brian Kilmeade's comments echo the Nazi-era policy of Aktion T4, we can't allow this to ever happen again.
Sincerely,
