"Progressives" seek to silence Fox News


This is progressive? From FoxNews:


MoveOn.org, the Campaign for America's Future and liberal blogs
like DailyKos.com are asking thousands of supporters to monitor who is
advertising on the network. Once a database is gathered, an organized
phone-calling campaign will begin, said Jim Gilliam, vice president of media
strategy for Brave New Films, a company that has made anti-Fox videos.


This is how Republics fall. Radical minority groups seek to suppress any kind of speech which conflicts with their Agenda. Looks like Daily Kos is taking a page from Hugo Chavez.
Update-Kossaks respond from someone call hfiend in the comments section, which I would have allowed except for the recruitment links:

ummm... nope. The republic still limps along.dKos is simply
pointing out the strange comments and viewpoints of Fox News and Fox fans to
their advertisers and asking if they still want to support them, or make the
case for them not to support Fox. Hugo just shuts down dissent, period. How is
what dKos, et al. is doing here anywhere near that? Answer: It's not. News Corp.
can keep on propagandizing out of it's $25 billion in revenues. dKos can not
shut it down. Why would they want that? Fox News is HILARIOUS. Progressives
thrive on it. Fox just getting a taste of his own medicine (via Billy O) for
compelling JetBlue to pull sponsorship from YearlyKos. But nice try
though...

The last statement doesn't hold water since this isn't nearly the first attack made by Liberal bloggers on Fox. Remember the Nevada debates, anyone?
