Apparently Fox News is changing their "genre" for a reason and the conservatives are the ones complaining.

I'd say FOX "News" becoming more liberal is like saying cancer is becoming less deadly.

Tea Party group boycotting Fox News for becoming ‘too liberal’ | The Raw Story
Well, ever since Glen Beck moved out, there's only a few crazies left to carry the torch.

According to the link I posted in my original post, the tea party groups seem to be most concerned that FOX has limited coverage on Benghazi, and on the birther movement. I'm a little baffled why those two issues would spur a boycott, when the tea party message is supposed to be all about fiscal responsibility. According to the article in my original post, they want FOX to spend at least two prime time shows dealing with Benghazi each night, vs. dealing with other issues. They've also demanded that FOX get to "the bottom" of Obama's birth certificate. This group wants to determine the news content at FOX, and they've planned the boycott to drive that point home. The problem is that FOX has moved past those issues, because they're losers. They'd still be covering them if they were relevant.

Here's a link to the organization that's planned and coordinated the boycott of FOX
BENGHAZI TRUTH!

I remember while the super storm Sandy was devastating our east coast, at the time all Fox News was covering was Benghazi. I would flip through the channels seeing winds and flooding in America on all the other news channels but on Fox, I saw perpetual burning of the American consulate in Benghazi.

Fox was on course for making themselves irrelevant. If Fox News goes the way of the tea partiers, they will become totally irrelevant.

I'm surprised that they are just boycotting because of Benghazi & birtherism; I would have thought not keeping Palin would be a 3rd platform.
