[written in response to someone in the local paper's comments section who said that if someone didn't like Fox News, they just shouldn't watch it.]
Certainly *one* of the choices someone has is to not watch something they don't like. But if the something is, in one's opinion, giving false information to a huge swath of the citizens of the country, then one has the right, and some would say the responsibility, to speak up. As the quote goes: "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Note that I'm not passing any value judgment on Fox News here, I'm just tired of hearing people say "if you don't like it, don't pay attention to it" or even better: "if you don't like it move to another country." That's not how it works. Individual citizens can shape reality with their opinions just as much as a news organization can, and it's part of the checks and balances of society. You change your country and your society by voting (or choosing not to vote), speaking out or keeping silent; by how you spend your money; and in many other ways.
