\"Steve-Jobs-Apple-Leave-Fox-News\"<\/a>Show your support for Apple’s decision to ditch Fox News below.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apparently, after Glenn Beck called President Obama a “racist” and progressivism “cancer,” some companies took notice and decided enough was enough. 33 companies, including Apple<\/a>, told Fox they wanted their ads moved from Glenn Beck’s show to another advertising slot last August.<\/p>\n

This didn’t cause a lot of trouble for Fox, I imagine, but with 200 companies joining the boycott<\/strong> and Apple deciding to remove its advertising from the Fox News Network<\/strong> altogether now, this is surely making a statement and an impact.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In order to encourage more outside-the-box corporate responsibility, Care2 has an action page<\/a> set up where you can go and thank Steve Jobs and Apple<\/strong> for their courageous and honorable decisions on this issue.<\/p>\n

Show your support for Apple, Steve Jobs and sensible television programming today. I just became the 16,013th<\/sup> person to sign the letter, but Care2 needs about 4,000 more signatures to reach its target.<\/p>\n

Take action today<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
