Cake or Death




MoveOn.org , Campaign for America’s Future , DailyKos.com and other liberal blogs are asking supporters to monitor who is advertising on Fox News Network.

Their goal is to build a database of FNC sponsors, then use that list in a campaign to threaten these businesses with financial ruin if they continue advertising with FNC.

Once a database is gathered, an organized phone-calling campaign will begin, said Jim Gilliam, vice president of media strategy for Brave New Films, a company that has made anti-Fox videos.

The goal is simple: to silence opposing points of view through threats, intimidation and financial ruin.

This has the potential to have a chilling effect on media everywhere, regardless of ideology.

This shows these organizations’ true nature. At their core, they are intolerant of opposing points of view. They aren’t satisfied with getting their way most of the time. Their goal is getting their way all of the time.

Bi-partisanship indeed.
