Bill Penzey and Fox News

And you may remember, a while back I spoke about gearing up to take on those companies who fund the propaganda Fox News produces, but wanting to give those companies one more chance to uncouple from Fox before we named names? Well, now with this impeachment and this week’s report from Pew polling showing just how successful Fox has become at keeping their viewers isolated from the reality of the president’s crimes and the miscarriage of justice the republicans in the senate have so far made this impeachment, it’s not only time to name names but it’s also time to be honest about why these companies are intentionally funding the propaganda Fox is crafting.

It sure seems the best current list of Fox advertisers can be found http://send.penzeys.com/JH3kQh01rJ0hak90hM00010

Others can do boycotts and say I won’t buy their products, but as Cooks we can do so much more. The truth is, as Cooks, we are the hands that feed, we are where caring and goodness live, and we are the voice that speaks out for the difference between right and wrong. Are we really to assume that any of these advertisers do not know what they are funding with their marketing buy? Maybe the pillow guy is a true believer, but at this point it’s probably safe to say the rest of these companies are intentionally funding Fox’s propaganda for the purpose of currying favor with the president and the Republicans in Congress and state houses across the country.

Do companies out to make products that don’t damage the environment, produce good and safe prescription drugs, or sell needed insurance at reasonable costs need special sweetheart Republican laws? I don’t think so. The Pew polling results showing a direct link between the Republicans’ ability to corrupt this impeachment trial and these companies’ funding of Fox is the wake up call we all need.

It’s time to use our voices as Cooks and speak out against each of these companies and the damage they are doing to honest journalism in America. These are the companies whose funds made it possible to corrupt this impeachment trial. We can’t sit by silently as they use their profits and tax cuts to fund the corruption of this year’s elections as well. Please review the list. Think of who you know who make purchases from these companies and start planning out your heart-to-heart talk about better ways for them to spend their money. You are known as a person who cares. They will listen to you. Cookies might help.

And don’t forget, last day for the $1 Justice Gift Box upgrade. Buy a stack, pass them out, brighten spirits and be an Impeachment Day Hero,


Thanks Heroes,

Bill

Going on my first cruise on the Carnival Horizon departing 1-18/1-24

Ports include;
Ocho Rios, Jamaica
Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
Cozumel, Mexico

This was a birthday gift from my daughter and we’ll be traveling together, then spending a few days in So. Beach.

Any experienced cruisers have any “must do or take” tips?

Thanks,

From a friend in Queensland, Australia

THE TRUTH ABOUT OUR BUSHFIRES

I've noticed a lot of misinformation around the Australian bushfires and the role of climate change. So I made this graph to help you separate fact from fiction.

I've dealt with the main myths that are being spread about the fires and climate change itself - but have I left any out? What are your thoughts on how we are talking about these fires? Or if you are doubtful about climate change yourself, what's got you questioning it?

Please spread this information far and wide. It's time to cut through the confusion with facts because in a time of crisis, everyone deserves access to the truth.
