Dear Family and Fiends February 10, 2012

You know who you are.

A friend of mine just wrote to me that Judge Andrew Napolitano’s show on the Fox News Network has been canceled without any explanation (from Fox News) that makes sense.

I wrote back to him offering a relatively simple plan, if not to get the program back, then at least cost Fox News a great deal of money. What I propose is to identify Fox’s half dozen (or dozen) biggest advertisers, the addresses _not_ for their public relations flunkies, but for their advertising departments, and to send them all letters modeled on the following:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Dear Acme Widgets (or whoever),

Your advertising shows up frequently on Fox News, which just canceled Judge Andrew Napolitano’s excellent show, not because of its ratings — which bring you greater visibility and higher profit — but because of their intolerance for the program’s politics, with which, on other occasions, they falsely claim to agree.

I’m extremely sorry to say that, since your advertising money supports and sustains this utter lack of integrity on Fox News’ part, I can no longer buy your products, and I feel bound to persuade as many others as I can to follow suit.

Should you withdraw your support from Fox News — or they change their policy and restore the Judge’s show — I will reconsider.

“Sincerely” doesn’t say it adequately,

L. Neil Smith, author
Publisher and Senior Columnist

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Be sure to pull out all the stops where your resume is concerned. I have about 1300 “friends”on Facebook, and perhaps I should have mentioned that.

I don’t get cable TV, so I can’t collect the sponsors’ names. Could someone else do that,please? I’d also appreciate someone getting the snail-mail and e-mail addresses of their advertising departments, too, as it would save me time I can use on my novels and essays. But I’ll do it myself if I have to.

I’m thoroughly fed up with this crap.

And so are you.

Man, do you mean I have to WATCH FOX? I can’t force myself to. It’s as bad as CNN, only slanted teh other direction! I’d puke before I figured out who the top 12 were! Sorry, I must state I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request.

as well clear their motive, and that is also happening with
this article which I am reading now.
