It is somewhat wrong to call people fleeing Fox a boycott. Many people (like me) had come to only watch Fox for Tucker Carlson and only signed up for Fox Nation (like me) because of Carlson. We are gone for good. Not because I am boycotting, but because Fox no longer offers anything I am interested in. We are even canceling DirectTV. I now get all my news from Twitter. Alternative media is the future, not Fox. For me it just a consumer choosing alternate products they like better... not a boycott.
Fair enough -- whether it's called a boycott or a mass consumer choice, it's a great thing when patriots are mindful of the impact their dollars and time have in shaping the world around us. Appreciate the feedback!
What is great about Twitter is EVERYTHING is on Twitter. Every news story. And anything big shows up right away. You get lots of added information about the story from people in the know. You do have to wade through some garbage, but it isn't bad if you have the right follow list. By building a list of trusted accounts you want to follow you can pretty much see everything you are interested in. And if there is an interesting exchange on Fox or some other station you will see a clip of it on Twitter... without having to see the whole show. It has really changed (for the better) since Musk took over.
I am grateful for your common sense and ability,to explain why boycotts seldom work;indeed,courage and commitment to make daily sacrifices are rare.Your advice to leaders "to pick a few fights we can win"would deliver a message to corporations
trying to force "woke" on folks that see the ill effects every day!
I agree that boycotts have proven generally unsuccessful against the woke-topian hordes. While I was able to decouple from Amazon, Google, and various other sources of WEF, Blackrock/Vanguard and leftist malinformation, convincing others to do the same has been more than challenging. You are very correct when you state that there must be a non-woke alternative for customer based actions to succeed, and given the market saturation of the NWO oligarchs that is difficult to achieve.
My only disagreement is when you said, "We must insist that elected officials enforce antitrust laws against the major social media and other corporations that practice woke tyranny." I would challenge you to find a single elected official who is not compromised by these same evil financial interests, corrupted by vast sums of "campaign contributions" or simply swayed by the loud and proud on social media. For the most part they have turned a deaf ear to the common citizen. I have tried, I still try, I have tried many different angles of persuasion. I have yet to convince a single politician at the local, state or federal level to see and act against these very real threats.
I fully appreciate your frustration. One thing I advocate is that we reward courage. When we see a politician or conservative leader (e.g., Trump or Tucker Carlson) taking positions that expose them to professional or personal hazards--and not just regurgitating the latest RINO talking points (and that means most Fox News hosts, frankly)--we should reward them with our loyalty. It's more a process of rewarding those who walk point and implicitly punishing the cowards, or at least the professional climbers who, at bottom, don't care that our republic is being laid waste before our eyes. Appreciate the feedback, John!

Exactly. Not a boycott, I simply refuse to give my time and hard earned cash to someone that is working against my beliefs and best interests.
Other than you sourcing information from twitter, I agree.
