Beck boycott works! Boycott Fox Advertiser Proactiv
Edited on Thu May-05-11 11:01 AM by Cal33
You probably heard the great news - after two years of progressive activism, FOX finally cancelled Glenn Beck's show.

Beck was targeted after he slandered President Obama by saying, "This president has exposed himself as a guy, over and over and over again, who has a deep-seated hatred for white people, or the white culture, I don't know what it is... This guy, I believe, is a racist."

Activists at ColorOfChange, Media Matters, StopBeck, FoxNewsBoycott, and of course Democrats.com responded with a boycott of advertisers on Glenn Beck's show. Ultimately over 300 advertisers pulled their ads from Beck, costing FOX over $40 million.

Advertiser boycotts work! And it's time to boycott all FOX News advertisers:

We're starting our boycott of all FOX News advertisers with Proactiv, which sells acne medicine to teenagers and young adults. Why?

First, there are lots of other acne treatments. Second, young adults above all are hurt by FOX News, which promotes right-wing policies on race, education, healthcare, the environment, and war. Let's have our future leaders lead the fight against FOX News and create a better future!

Sign the petition to Proactiv and enter the emails of young adults over 18 who deserve a better future:

Beyond President Obama, FOX regularly slanders nearly everyone: Democrats, unionized workers, the unemployed (including veterans and 99ers), environmentalists, feminists, blacks, Hispanics, Jews, Muslims, progressives, scientists, and any other group it disagrees with.

FOX News broadcasts rightwing extremist slander, incitement to violence, political propaganda, and outright lies to promote its rightwing political agenda. This is not "news," but rather a never-ending "war on news" - and it's all documented in our petition.

Why would any decent company destroy its brand by funding it? Tell Proactiv to stop advertising on FOX News:

2. One way of fighting back against the sicko rich is to make them lose money.
Hit them hard where it hurts them the most. We shouldn't be just taking
it lying down, when they are robbing the American people blind.
