When assessing our political status quo, it is critical to remember that a majority of Americans did not vote for Trump. Yet, like it or not, America is being perhaps permanently reshaped by Trump, his administration and his collaborators. (Clinton won by 3 million votes and if adding back Stein and Johnson, it would have been over 8 million) And what about all the non-voters, who were going to vote for Clinton, but were put off by the last minute email kerfuffle, which amounted to nothing?
So what would be the most effective way to re-impower that majority? One that is fairly effortless, non-violent and yet more powerful than a marching protest army?
Why not focus on the media, which was cynically employed by Trump to gain his position, and keep it? And specifically the media that is poisoning our democracy by rationalizing, excusing, and indeed, further enabling Trump and his collaborators? That would be the numerous talk radio and TV shows that uncritically support Trump and his minions, the major damage being done by Fox Media.
If people go out of their way just a bit, simply by refraining to do business with their advertisers, (there are plenty of alternatives) it would not take long for their programs’ revenues to shrink. What business would want to advertise on a show, or in any media, if the advertisement effectively deleted both current and potential customers?
Advertising is expensive, and really only effective at the margins. It really does cost a lot of money in advertising just to acquire one new customer. Suppose an advertiser lost 10 customers for every new one the ad brought in?
For an example, I was just about to buy a “My Pillow” until I heard their ad on a Fox show. You know what, I will sleep better on some other brand.
I think that the suit I was about to buy will be a Macy’s suit and not the Joseph Bank suit that was advertised on that same show, and where I sometimes shopped. No longer! And there are plenty of alternatives to Koch brands, such as Brawny Paper Towels, Dixie, Angel Soft toilet paper, Stainmaster Carpets, Lycra clothing all Koch brands.
If a network’s advertising revenues in turn shrinks, as a result of their propaganda and politics, I bet things will change quickly.
It is best to inform these advertisers about your intentios. As a guide, probably the best place to contact is the Investor Relations Department, or, alternatively, Public Relations.
Here is a partial list of Fox advertisers. It is easy to find alternatives:
