Fox brought this on themselves. If you live in a glass house (i.e. make money from advertising) don’t throw stones (don’t attack the advertisers of another entity, political or otherwise). The most public face of the “fair and balanced” Fox news (Bill O’Reilly) went after a political organization’s sponsors. What did FOX think was going to happen? DailyKos and Moveon.org are grass root organizations, not corporations with stockholders. What’s the diff? stockholders are (generally) motivated by profit which can be viewed objectively, while those in organizations like DailyKos and Moveon are motivated by idealogy and is very personal.
BTW, where is the outcry about conservatives using this tactic against “liberals”? Radio personalities (like Howard Stern) are constantly having their sponsors “contacted” by those threatening boycots.
