Re: Warning: Boycott of FOX advertisers

I'm assuming what they don't like is the fact that Ron Paul talks
about sound money, small government and restraining or abolishing the
federal reserve. They either don't understand these concepts or think
that monetary reform is a yawner and not worthy of discussion.

Also he also constantly rails against corporatism and neo-
conservatives. Both terms which might describe Fox News adequately.
