        @techdisk It stops being funny once you realize the high number of people who take it completely seriously. They incite violence, promote ignorance, and appear to exert some form of control over the republican party (poll numbers over time eerily correlate with how much of what kind of coverage Fox was giving each of the candidates).

        @redenchilada There's a few organizations out there who have proven to be pretty effective. This is one of them.

          @toksyuryel What organization? I see another petition-collecting site with an anonymously-written petition. But then, I'm uninformed; educate me on this matter.

      @toksyuryel that petition has a snowball's chance in Tartarus of being anything but a waste of effort. xP

        @pony Maybe so, but it's about the same amount of effort as making a post here so if you happen to feel like it's something that needs to happen why not take the 30 seconds?

          @toksyuryel If I thought it would do anything I'd consider it, but I'm honestly not well informaed about news bias on Fox. I never watch the news since I prefer to read most of the time.

      @toksyuryel Almost every time I hear something about Fox News it's always about them taking something completely innocent and making it sound like its terrible. Seriously, why the buck would someone drive next to you with a DS and try to pictochat with the kid in the back seat.

      @toksyuryel What bothers me about this is that it looks like they won't actually count my signature without seeming to need me to either like on Facebook or share a customized version of the link. They actually don't, but I only know that because I got a "thanks" email, the page is still just giving "You're almost there!" and those prompts for now.

        @bitshift Yeah the design is a bit odd, but they do get results. Also, good morning! *hugs tight~*

          @toksyuryel Mm. Not a fan of deception, but if it gets more people considering the petition, I guess their heart's in the right place. And good morning! (Only in the hyper-literal or draconic senses, but still!) *snuggles close~*

            @bitshift *squeezes fondly~* I was worried about you when I didn't see you on IRC after I woke up! Based on the client you're using, I'm going to guess the power cut out again?

              @toksyuryel Nope, just haven't switched my laptop on yet, whereas the phone was right there. :P I'll be on shortly, once I've got a drink and maybe some breakfast in me.
