a small, privately held company is seeking to block some Fox programming from viewers' television screens. Mokiepokie Enterprises is marketing the FOXBlocker, a filter that attaches anywhere along a TV's cable wire and operates in the same way that the V-chip blocks adult-themed showsâEuro¦ except that this blocks out Fox News.

You might ask why viewers simply don't use their remote to switch channels. For each filter Mokiepokie sells for $8.95, it also sends an email to Fox advertisers telling them a viewer is blocking a show on which they're spending money. Profits from the sales of the FOXBlocker are then shared with various left-leaning groups. Even though I actually like watching Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity, I find the company -- whose motto is "Shut the Fox Up" -- to be quite entrepreneurial. I don't know whether I'd spend nine bucks if my beliefs were aligned with Mokiepokie's, but you gotta admire the moxie.

Fox News has been trouncing the newscasts of Time Warner's (NYSE: TWX - News) CNN, Viacom's (NYSE: VIA - News) CBS, Disney's ABC, and General Electric's (NYSE: GE - News) NBC in the ratings, and the cry over Fox's assertion of "fair and balanced" reporting has grown louder. I'm sure Rupert Murdoch isn't losing much sleep over the FOXBlocker, but maybe he'll jigger it to drown out those who say the 7% premium he's offering for the remaining outstanding shares isn't enough.

1. That's a great idea.

If we get enough people to do it, they should lose money from advertisers. Now how to get people to do it?
