“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?”
The Daily Kos campaign predated O’Reilly’s canpaign and the Lowes chain capitulated in Januray with a creepy letter posted on Kos that apologized for sponsoring O’Reilly. His campaign against Jet Blue followed and, I suspect, was retaliation. Lowes just built a huge new store in Tucson, a city with a very large retired veteran population. They will start to hear from those vets soon. It’s a dumb move on their part but maybe they want to be the “progressive” big box store. I would think that homeowners are less represented in the lefty world but they are free to do their marketing as they see fit. Fortunately, there is a big Home Depot in Tucson. I suspect there will be more of this.
