Media Boycott: MoveOn.org Calls For Democrats To Move Off Fox News

According to many pundits, one of the central goals of President Obama’s increasingly high-stakes war with Fox News is to galvanize his supporters on the left.
Well, you can check that box off: influential progressive PAC MoveOn.org is calling for all Democrats to stay off Fox for the rest of the year in support of Obama’s decision to do the same.
From the petition:
President Obama is fighting back against FOX. The White House communications director said FOX is a “wing of the Republican Party…let’s not pretend they’re a news network.”
To draw attention to its biased coverage, President Obama will not appear on FOX for the rest of this year. Can you sign this petition asking Democrats to support President Obama’s stance by staying off FOX as long as he does?
A compiled petition with your individual comment will be presented to Democratic senators and representatives.
The involvement of MoveOn is good news for Obama: it allows him to continue to undermine Fox News without issuing all of the messages through the White House and risking blowback. But isn’t that something he should have been doing more of in the first place?
Either way, Orrin Hatch probably wants to kick someone in the teeth right about now.
