I wrote a popular journal on Kos with the content below about a week ago. It was my first and only ever journal entry/comment on Daily Kos and the contents of it are below. Kos deleted the blog post and banned my account for no apparent reason. Some of you probably saw my blog post and people even asked why I was banned for posting it, before my blogpost itself was made to disappear altogether. I don’t care that I was banned. What I fail to understand is why Kos doesn’t do more to support something PROVEN EFFECTIVE?
Are the mods afraid of a lawsuit from Fox, that’s the only explanation I can think of. It would explain why barely any posts of people urging a boycott of Fox advertisers are here, because people that post them get banned and the threads deleted. Tens of thousands of people post here. If even a fraction of them write Fox News advertisers, that enough to get advertisers to add riders to their marketing buys specifying that their ads shouldn't be played on Fox News. A few more advertiser drops would give Fox’s new more liberal executives the excuse they need to mandate their hosts stop excusing and justifying Trump’s Traitorous actions. It would cripple Trumps Red Wall of Support during the Impeachment process, when he needs it the most. Yet this doesn’t seem to be happening on this site. Is this due to mods deleting such efforts?
Letter writing campaigns against Fox News advertisers got O’Reilly FIRED. Such efforts an year ago led to numerous Tucker’s advertisers dumping his show and applying more pressure on Fox News. Yet, Kos and it’s users barely engage in such efforts.
INSTEAD OF JUST POSTING IN JOURNALS, ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING.
Boycott Fox News advertisers and write them emails and letters telling them that you are boycotting them and why. The economic results of a boycott may be small, but the letters make a big impact. Synchronized efforts make the most impact. Advertiser boycotts got Fox News to dump O'Reilly and sent Tucker on a forced vacations. Boycotts TODAY may get Fox News to drop Trump altogether for the following reasons:
The impetus for Republicans and Fox News to abandon Trump is at a boiling point: Trump just admitted to traitorous activity. He publically asked China and Ukraine to investigate his political rival and is being impeached for it. And CNN is reporting that there is a phone transcript of him urging China to investigate Elizabeth Warren as well. The new executives at Fox are considering abandoning Trump already. If Fox News gets a little financial incentive to force their hosts to stop tooting Trump so hard, they absolutely will.
The anger at Fox News has never been higher as a result of people like Hannity and Tucker supporting his treasonous activity.
Democrats are motivated than ever before to write letters and emails to Fox News advertisers urging them to stop supporting Traitorous activity, Racism and Fascism. This means that democrats are more motivated than ever before to write letters and emails to Fox News advertisers.
So let's use this opportunity and distribute this list of Fox News advertisers to every internet forum you can think of...
Boycotting is NOT the point. Writing letters and emails to these companies stating that you will boycott them if they continue to advertise on Fox News is what actually makes a difference. Those letters/emails often times get forwarded up the chain to the people that make marketing decisions. Enough of them lead to companies adding riders to their marketing buys specifying that their ads won't be played on Fox News. This in turn leads to a loss of revenue to Fox News, and this was the reason why Fox News fired O'Reilly, in response to a boycott letters like the above.
You can even search your email inbox for marketing emails from these companies, and reply to them with a letter similar to the one templated below.
So let's use this opportunity and distribute this list of Fox News advertisers to every internet forum you can think of…

I have already written letters and emails to multiple advertisers above. I ask that others here to do the same.
Here is one example of a template I wrote modified and used for several companies (but I encourage you to write your own)…
Hi,
I travel often and often stay at Mariott hotels. However your company under the name Autograph Collection Hotel/Resort (Marriott) is listed as a major adveriser on the Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson program on Fox News, your ads show on those shows.
Those shows regularly encourage racism against immigrants like me and my family, and they defended trump and continue to do so for illegally jailing immigrant children as young as a few months old and seperating children from their parents in spite of the lifelong trauma a child will experience being seperated from their parents at a young age. And this week Trump has gone further, outright asking foreign governments to open investigations into his political rivals and Fox News is continuing to support these treasonous actions. Your company choosing to use my money to adverise and support such racist programs is an absolute disgrace.
Your company should be ashamed of itself advertising at a place like that. If you do not stop supporting Fox News with your ad dollars, I will no longer be staying at your hotels and I will tell everyone I know to do the same. Please convey this message to whoever it is in your company that decides to adverise to Fox News.
TLDR: I only ever posted once. It was the blog entry above. And I never even commented on Kos. I just discovered the site. My post and account was made to disappear for absolutely no reason what so ever. I expect that mods will ban this account, but I am wondering why my original account was banned in the first place. I wrote the helpdesk and noone ever replied. The journal above was the only thing I ever posted, and I never even commented. The mods never replied to my helpdesk requests.
Given those facts, you would understand why I think mods are censoring fox news boycott efforts here. You would think given how successful letter writing boycott efforts were in the past, that more Kos users would take part in them. Yet I see none on this site. Tens of thousands of people post here. Yet if even a fraction of them write Fox News advertisers, it would cripple Trumps Red Wall of Support. So why doesn’t that happen? Does everyone that attempts something like that get banned by the mods and their journals deleted?
