Justice Founder L.J. Ward

Justice’s original objective was to help youth with jail bonds and probation, but when Ward began listening to the news on the Fox News Network, he became incensed by what he saw as "biased reporting" against African Americans.

According to Ward, Justice is planning a boycott that will correspond with other national movements beginning Dec. 1. At that time, the group will begin contacting advertisers about pulling their ads from the network.

In addition, a large demonstration is being planned for January 2006, which is scheduled to take place in front of the KDVR Fox building in downtown Denver during business hours. There were no keynote speakers scheduled at press time.

Despite the location of the protest, the boycott is aimed at the Fox News Network only.

"Fox 31 is KDVR, a local Fox affiliate which puts on the local newscast," says KDVR Fox News Director Bill Dallman. "Fox News Channel is a 24 hour cable news channel which is a part of KDVR, but in no way affiliated with Fox 31," he said.

"But that’s what’s great about America. You can organize and do whatever you want and get your voice heard."

There are a growing number of groups across America engaged in similar campaigns calling for a boycott of Fox News Network sponsors. From the streets to the Internet, viewers and ex-employees are making their discontent known. For example, the documentary Outfoxed, examines how media empires, led by Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, have been running a "race to the bottom" in television news. This film provides an in-depth look at Fox News and the dangers of ever-enlarging corporations taking control of the public's right to know.
