1. Yes, hell yes.

[LoveTheDU]

23. A thousand times hell yes

[LakeArenal]

2. Yes.

[Sogo]

3. Not just from cable, but also from streaming services.

[SergeStorms]

24. I was thinking....

from the face of the earth, but that's just me.

[DENVERPOPS]

51. How about from the Military's Network

[we can do it]

4. Hell yes, but we already dropped cable.

[Tetrachloride]

5. I dropped cable TV packages, period. It's not just Fox

Sometimes, I sign up for Netflix

[in2herbs]

6. I read something the other day that Fox can't be dropped from cable packages based on

an FEC and USSC decision. I hope I am wrong bc if I subscribed to cable and it was in my package I'd drop cable like a lead balloon.

[hlthe2b]

7. I'vw blocked it on every cable package I've had from the beginning, so you damned well bet I would!

Please vote for me if you are able to as I am not registered on twitter.

[Lochloosa]

17. I did.

[hlthe2b]

18. Thanks!

20. rofl!

That made my night!

[thomski64]

8. We did precisely that...

...Spectrum has an option where you
can pick 15 channels. And my wfe did
exactly that. She dumped faux, unfortunately
also comedy, espn, and a few more of my
favorites. Should have been more specific.

[Hoyt]

9. Don't watch it, but if people are stupid enough to watch FOX, I'm

not going to stop or impede them. Rubes need something to keep them occupied.

If you don’t watch included stations, that still dings them a little. If option were available, I’d exclude FOX and a bunch of others.

[dchill]

10. Yes. Yes. There - I committed voter fraud!

[Rebl2]

11. Yes

along with a few other channels.

[Cha]

12. Don't have a tv but I Rt.. TY

💙💛

[skylucy]

13. Absolutely! In fact, my husband and I are going to be paying a visit to our local cable company

to discuss some changes to our cable selections etc. I told my husband I was going to complain about having to "pay for" Fox News in order to get basic cable. I know it is part of the package, along with CNN and MSNBC, ABC, CBS etc. But I want to express my annoyance at having a pro Putin, anti democracy, propaganda arm of Trump in the basic package.

[Blue Owl]

14. YAS!!!

[Mr.Bill]

16. I'd like to get rid of Fox,

religious channels and shopping channels. And probably many others if I ever looked at them. The fact is, I could get by with probably less than ten or 15 channels. That would cover over 90% of my viewing.

[Unwind Your Mind]

60. Interesting

I think I can do it in 5

HGTV, TBS, Comedy Central, MSNBC, CNN or maybe CBS (will there be more CSI?)

[Mr.Bill]

61. I have to add a few sports channels.

Big baseball fan here. Also some auto racing.

[Unwind Your Mind]

62. Oh you're right

We do need baseball, PBS sometimes and the concert channel

[BigBearJohn]

21. Yes x 1,000,000

[evolves]

22. How fast can we make it happen?

Yesterday?

[plimsoll]

25. Of course.

From the cable billing perspective they're the most expensive "news" service, and you subsidize them with your cable bill. Talk about socialism.

[ThoughtCriminal]

26. Heck - I would pay extra not to see it on my menu

I don't care if they switch it with ESPN-7 (The food-eating contest channel), the scammiest shopping channel on cable, or a North Korean music video channel.

[housecat]

27. lol yes

[doc03]

28. I really don't care about Fox I don't watch it. But I have to pay extra

and upgrade to get MSNBC.

[Meadowoak]

42. Same here, MSNBC is in an upgraded package. But FOX comes

With the most basic service.

[Mr.Bill]

87. I've always thought that explained

the difference in ratings.

[RainCaster]

29. I'm willing to forgo NFL to get rid of Faux News

[Mira]

30. Yes

[Mira]

31. Yes

[ShazzieB]

32. Yes, yes, 1000 times yes!

Absopositivelyfuckinglutely!

[usaf-vet]

33. We cut our cable 5 years ago. NO MSM in this house. Online streaming OUR choice. Like DU. nt

[Emile]

34. Yes, in a New York minute!

[onenote]

35. How would this "movement" work?

From the cable operator perspective, your choice is to subscribe or not. They aren't going to give you the option of not getting Fox News as part of the programming package that most subscribers receive because (i) they have no incentive to do so and (ii) the contracts that cable and satellite providers enter into with Fox News don't allow it.

[CloudWatcher]

36. I dropped my cable when they added Fox

I had Sling TV, because I was able to get MSNBC without a dime going to Fox. After a few months they added Fox ... and I dropped them like a hot rock.

[Deuxcents]

37. My cable is included in my HOA fees..

Tell me how to delete ..

[tiredtoo]

38. Is this a trick question?

I even offered to pay more if they would remove fox. No luck.

[aggiesal]

39. Fox distributes Fox News to all the cable companies ...

for free as long as it is on the basic package.
It's going to be hard to have something that the cable company is pocketing 100% of the money, to remove from their basic lineup.

Ever notice business establishments, like McDonald's, have them times to Fox?
CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, BBC, Free Speech TV ... are all on tiered packages and not free.

I guess it's worth a try.

[Bev54]

40. Can you please include Canada in that movement. Thanks.

[NoMoreRepugs]

41. Now that would be a gift that keeps giving.

[marieo1]

43. Right On

Yes, I wouldn't watch Fox news in a million years!!!

[onecaliberal]

44. Yes!

[joshdawg]

45. Hell, yes!

[bluestateboomer]

46. yup

[Kaleva]

47. About 2 to 3% of the adult population watches Fox

Night after night, Fox News is crushed in the ratings by each of the legacy broadcast news shows

[Six117]

48. Hells yeah!

[AllaN01Bear]

49. no tv cable here for 6 years since comcast priced me out of market.

and heck yes.

[AllaN01Bear]

50. a ? cant you just delete it from your lineup using ur remote or set box menu controlls ?

[Demovictory9]

52. yes

[OLDMDDEM]

53. Yes

[Atticus]

54. In a heart beat! nt

[Kid Berwyn]

55. Yes.

Immediately.

[c-rational]

56. Yes.

[Auggie]

57. Yes

[Bird Lady]

58. Absolutely!! No other text needed.

[gopiscrap]

59. YES!!!! I'd even donate to that movement

[Emile]

63. Money saved could go toward adding a more progressive channel.

[rurallib]

64. in a New York second!

And I would replace it with MSNBC

[JPPaverage]

65. YES!!!!

Yes yes yes.

[JT99]

66. Hell yes!

Nm

[notinkansas]

67. Oh yeah!!

[djacq]

68. The Forbidden Channel

At home and work.

[Firestorm49]

69. Yes

[momta]

70. We already did.

We can't get MSNBC now either, but we work around that with YouTube and Peacock.

[BobTheSubgenius]

71. Here (Canada), it's optional, so I exercised my option.

By shunning it.

[Karadeniz]

72. Yes!!!!

[Cherokee100]

73. Oh yes

I have them blocked on my TV. It's just like the National Inquirer tabloid paper. Which, if my memory serves me well, was owned by Rupert Murdoch. Faux news, is the most powerful asset, Putin has in this country.

[pwb]

74. Here is a reason why fox should be a choice.

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/3/31/1933075/-If-you-have-cable-you-are-subsidizing-Fox-News-It-might-be-time-to-cut-the-cord-Here-s-how

[sarchasm]

75. Fuck. Yes.

Why is Faux News even a thing? I've been blocking, eliminating, deleting, hiding, channel re-programming Faux News as long as I can remember. I will not set foot in any establishment that has Faux playing on their televisions.

[BComplex]

76. Oh hell yes!!

[titanicdave]

77. .........OMG!!!......Without any doubt......

[Initech]

78. Abso-fucking-lutely!

[bringthePaine]

79. yes plz immediately or sooner

[xxqqqzme]

80. YES

n/t

[mushroomhunter]

81. yes

yes

[NHvet]

82. Yes

If there's a way to do it, I'm in

[JTOL]

83. yes

[Bluethroughu]

84. Drop cable, until you can buy it without Fox.

Haven't had cable since 2003...feels great.

[Farmer-Rick]

85. I dropped cable all together because I had to pay for crap like Fox

If I could pick and choose at a decent price, I would go back.

[ironflange]

86. Damn right

I'd drop the package but then I'd also lose CNN and MSNBC. I don't think Faux has much viewership in Canada anyway and don't know why it's even offered here.

[YoshidaYui]

88. K&R plus

Re-Tweeted!

[Conjuay]

89. YUP

Inna New York Minute.

[BHDem53]

90. You betcha! 👍

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

91. I haven't had cable in some 14 years and I don't miss it at all.

I can watch MSNBC live streaming, have Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu, and even though I find it highly annoying that there are shows I don't get to watch because I'm not willing to sign up for a bunch more, I have no trouble finding good things I want to watch.

[keithbvadu2]

92. So that 43% of republicans would approve a democrat shutting down Fox news?

“Freedom of the press may be guaranteed in the Constitution. But a plurality of Republicans want to give President Trump the authority to close down certain news outlets, according to a new public opinion survey conducted by Ipsos and provided exclusively to The Daily Beast.”

[llmart]

93. I haven't had cable for 12 years.

Don't miss it at all and would never go back to it. I have a smart TV and the only thing I pay for is Netflix and PBS passport. I will never be able to watch all the stuff that is on my smart TV.

I can actually say that I've never watched FOX news once in my life, unless maybe it was a local FOX news way back when they were new, but I had them pegged for propaganda almost immediately so refused to ever have it on.

[Martin68]

94. Fuck, yeah!

If I actually subscribed to cable.

[Jarqui]

95. I dropped cable in 2015 when they wouldn't remove FOX

Haven't missed it (cable ... FOX I never watched)
