My name is Edgar J. Steele. This is a Nickel Rant. Fox News is owned and run by foreigners. Fox News wants to dictate American policy, both foreign and domestic. Fox News wants to tell you how to think. Fox News wants to tell you what to think. Fox News wants to pick your next President. Fox News is terrified by the thought of a Ron Paul Presidency. F**k Fox News!
Some forgive. Some forget. Some do both. I do neither. I get even. Call it a weakness. Call it a Trial Lawyer thing. After all, I became a trial lawyer in order to get even. Why? I honestly don't know. I only know that it's what I do. I do it well, too. I've had lots of practice.
In fact, when properly motivated, I get way more than even. Trust me: getting even in overwhelming measure can offer up some of life's most sublime moments.
Let's get even. Maybe you don't know how. I was born to get even. I'll show you how. Legally, too.
F**k Fox!
Last night, Fox News presented its Republican Presidential Forum - you know, the one to which Fox refused to invite Ron Paul, the sole GOP candidate who has refused to kiss the hem of the CFR garment and who continues to rail against globalism and for America. Ron Paul, who regularly has polled higher than two of the candidates who were invited (14% in New Hampshire to Fred Thompson's 4% and 10% to Rudy Giuliani's Iowa 3%). Ron Paul, who has bested the field in every legitimate poll taken following past debates. Ron Paul, who has won outright most of the straw polls taken in the campaign thus far, throughout America. Ron Paul, who has throngs of enthusiastic, sign-waving supporters in places that other contenders don't even have signs. Ron Paul, whose campaign recently set the single-day, fund-raising record for all American politicians...ever.
Fox News never mentions Ron Paul's name. It is as though Dr. Paul has become a non-person. Never does he appear in the candidate lists. Never do the anchors mention him. Fox News is boycotting Ron Paul. We can do the same thing to Fox News. Already, I have begun.
I watched the Fox Forum last night for one reason only: I wanted to make a list of the sponsors so that I could give them to you today and suggest that you boycott them forever. What's more, tell those advertisers that is what you are doing. And tell your friends. Then do it. The sponsors made this Forum possible. They deserve it. So does Fox. F**k Fox!
Don't ever watch Fox News again, so long as you live. I won't. It was easy for me: I just unchecked the box in the listing lineup on my satellite directory. Now I won't even be stumbling over it as I go from one channel to another. F**k Fox!
Now, go ahead and do it. You know you want to. Say it right out loud. Trust me, you will feel better. Here, let's do it together, with feeling: F**k Fox!
Boycott Sponsors Who Don't Play Fair ... Forever!
Here are the 12 products advertised during the Fox News Forum (and the advertisers) to boycott:
1. Pampers diapers (Procter & Gamble) ( www.pampers.com )
2. Mag-Lite Flashlights ( www.maglite.com ).
3. Abilify (bipolar disorder medication from Bristol-Myers Squibb) ( www.abilify.com ) (three ad slots during forum)
4. The Jewelry Exchange ( www.jewelryexchange.com )
5. Planet Earth DVD set (BBC and Discovery Channel product) ( www.bbc.co.uk , www.discovery.com )
6. Vytorin (anti-cholestoral medication from Merck-Schering Plough Pharmaceuticals) (www.vytorin.com ) (1-877-VYTORIN) (two ad slots during forum)
7. Nutrisystem (www.nutrisystem.com ) (1-877-975-DIET) (two ad slots during forum)
8. Gold Bond (Chattum) 423-821-4571 contact via webform at phx.corporate-ir.net/phoe...l?c=119581&p=irol-inforeq
9. Tempur-Pedic Beds (www.tempurpedic.com ) (1-800-615-8328)
10. Sprint Telephone
11. AIG car insurance (www.aigdirect.com ) (1-800-850-2642)
12. Fox News Channel
Forever, folks. Forever. Never again buy any of these products or services. Deliver the message that those who facilitate this sort of censorship and propaganda will face consequences.
Short Fox News' Parent Company Stock
Here is something else to do that is both creative and potentially profitable:
Foreigner and rabid neo-con Rupert Murdoch doesn't entirely own Fox News. He owns most of it, though, through something called News Corporation (www.newscorp.com) . Like most of his NWO cohorts, he has seen to the issuance of public stock so that he can further shear us sheep through corporate looting, which now is standard for officers and major shareholders like Murdoch.
This morning, through my on-line broker, I shorted Newscorp stock (ticker symbol NWS) to the tune of 1,000 shares. If everybody reading this did the same thing, we could crater the company by the weekend, cost Murdoch billions and make a ton of money for ourselves in the process. Think about it.
Email Fox News
Here is an updated list of Fox News email addressees, formatted so that you need merely highlight them all and then paste them into the "To" slot of a complaining email. Do not include the words "Dr., Doctor, Ron or Paul" in the subject line, as the Fox News Channel server now is programmed to bounce all emails with such subject matter. Use something creative, like: "Time to update your resume, O'Reilly!" or "You Distort, We Destroy!" In fact, because of email filters, mask Dr. Paul's name in the body of the text, as well.
Tell them what you are doing and why. If you like, merely cut and paste the text of the email message I dispatched to these addresses this morning (directly following the email addresses) with the subject line "You Decide, We Boycott."

Hello, Fox News belly-crawling, lickspittle lackey! You really hit a low last night with your grotesquely unbalanced and unfair Republican Presidential Candidate Forum, from which you excluded R, on P, aul. Just wanted to let you know that, in response, I have done the following today:
1. Sent you this email.
2. Shorted News Corporation's stock to the tune of 1,000 shares (got your resume updated?)
3. Left interesting phone messages for several Fox News luminaries.
4. Notified the 12 sponsors of your "Forum" that I am boycotting their products and services...forever.
5. Filed FCC complaints about local Fox affiliates and the Fox News Channel, suggesting that your licenses all be revoked.
6. Shared all this with almost 20,000 of my closest friends (see www.ConspiracyPenPal.com/rants/ffox.htm ), encouraging them to do the same.
See you in the Unemployment line,
yer pal Eddie
Call Fox News on the Phone
Here is a list of Fox News phone numbers. Though Fox News can delete emails wholesale (they will read those with interesting subject lines that don't mention Dr. Paul), but somebody has to listen to and pick through the voicemails. Make their jobs meaningful.

Let's file FCC complaints because Fox News has violated its charter to "act in the public interest," by intentionally slanting and distorting its news coverage and by refusing to grant equal time to political candidates, as required by Federal law. Let's see if we can't get some of the Fox News affiliate (local station) FCC licenses pulled and assigned to people who play fair.
The following comes from another correspondent who was enterprising enough to put together this information for us to use:
By specifically targeting FCC approvals, your comments will have a lot more long-term weight. Endangering the local affiliate's license with enough negative comments in the right way will change their attitude from "It's the network, nothing we can do" and largely ignoring you to actually calling the NewsCorp on your behalf saying "OMG, fix this NOW!"
Remember, the FCC threatened to hit EACH broadcast station with a 6-figure fine for Janet Jackson's half-second "wardrobe malfunction" at a recent SuperBowl.
Key trigger phrases: "FCC Public File" and "Not acting in the public interest."
1) At the beginning of each email or fax to an affiliate (your local station - the actual broadcaster, not the Fox network) ask that the comment be placed in their "FCC Public File." They are required to comply with your request. This "Public File" is reviewed by the FCC each time that station's license is up for renewal. Not getting a license renewed means the station is worthless. Give your opinion that the broadcaster is "Not acting in the public interest" and give detailed reasoning.
We can specifically start slamming each affiliate under the FCC "Equal Time Rule." www.museum. tv/archives/ etv/E/... qualtimeru. htm www.fcc. gov/eb/broadcast /pif.html
2) Comment to the FCC directly on media ownership:

Commissioner Robert McDowell: Robert.McDowell@ fcc.gov
...and be sure to comment how NewsCorp is "acting against the public interest."
As an example, here is a message to a Fox affiliate broadcasting station sent by another of my correspondents:
I request that this communication be placed in your station's “Public File.”
It is inconceivable that a major political “debate” include Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, John McCain, Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson but exclude the true frontrunner Dr. Ron Paul.
Every one of those “gentlemen” are bankrupt, either monetarily or morally with the shining exception of Dr. Paul. It is impossible to poll high numbers when the polls are rigged and exclude the one person leading the pack in contributions raised, meet-up groups and volunteers on the ground.
Omission of Dr. Paul is definitely against the public interest, right to know and any semblance of fair play.
These stations don’t have direct email addresses so use their “Contact Us” online form.
