On the other hand if they are just trying to make a statement - what exactly is that statement and why choose this means to make it. If they are unhappy with a particular host, ie: O'Reilly, why not just target that particular host.
That is the free market, not limiting free speech. The free market will naturally limit free speech for commercial media because no one will buy or watch the unpopular news sources.

Again this is to me like the guy who bitched about the music on a particular radio station - JUST CHANGE THE STATION.

Yes he was - and so are they, I don't like either. Neither one was right!

But how is free speech being limited?

It's not, nothing to see here... move along.

I know that's confusing to a lot of people, given that O'Reilly was once a reporter. Think of it as being analogous to Madonna having once been a virgin.
Until how many hours after birth?

Anyway, I don't need DailyKos to tell me to boycott the station, and that alone is why the boycott will fail.

(it's not a boycott)

What a load of horse shit. Kos is a well established Left-wing-nut organization that attracts attacks like the smell to a pile....

So what? Does that justify censoring them or any other voice you disagree with? Fascists do that... people that actually believe in truth, justice and the American way, do not.

[pedant] so, if one doesn't believe in truth justice and the American way one is a fascist? [/pedant]

Only for Americans, ya Limey smartass.

How is your post a response to mine? There doesn't seem to be a connection.
