Now that the Bush Depression has made advertisers more willing to listen to the voice of the consumer, here are a couple of suggestions:
Hold your nose, listen to the cesspool of hate that is FAUX, Limpballs and Shammity, and record who the hate talkers are, what they're saying, note what date and time they said it and then write letters to the CEOs of the companies that sponsored those shows. Ask the CEO: Do these people speak for you? Is this what you want your product associated with?
Note that this is not a boycott, just a call for accountability. Being associated with hate speech is bad for business so no boycott is required. The rightwing racist's hate speech taints the brand of the advertiser. It usually violates the sponsors' own HR standards-any employee who said that stuff at the office would be canned on the spot.
It's horrible PR, especially if some enterprising blogger
decides to make an issue out of it. Simply pointing that out has often been enough to convince executives that it's a bad idea to advertise on FAUX TV or AM neocon radio , and they need to get out before it blows up in their faces.
Alternatively, bombard your Congressional representative and Senator with calls to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine....
