The Fox News Boycott Project

Since this has been a pet idea of mine for some time and Chairman Dean has brought the idea to the fore, it's time to formalize this project. The proposition is very simple: Democrats and their supporters who appear on Fox News only enable Fox to claim they are "fair and balanced." It's time to cut them off and not give them the cover to make the claim. Just as Bush/Rove discipline the media by threatening to cut off access, the Democrats and their supporters should employ similar tactics - starting with the worst of the worst - Fox News. That means no Democrats or their supporters appear on Fox, no commenting on Fox stories, no providing of Democratic background info, strategy, insider thinking. Nothing.

More after the flip.

The key action plan for us now is to contact the Democrats who appear regularly on Fox and urge them not to appear on Fox.  Additionally, we should contact the House and Senate leadership and urge them not to cooperate with Fox (after Brian Wilson's act the other day, Harry Reid should be on board).

With a big hat tip to sunzoo, who in various places started collecting contacts who appear on Fox and demand they cease to provide aid and comfort to the disloyal opposition, here's the start of a list of Democrats I know appear on Fox regularly. Please add others that I may have missed.
