The OJ Simpson book/show - boycotting Fox & American Idol

Question

As you may know by now, OJ Simpson has written an "If I Had Done It" book in which he explains how he would have killed his ex-wife and her boyfriend "if" he had done it.
I won't be watching "American Idol" this year and I probably will very rarely watch Fox Television any more because a Rupert Murdoch company is publishing the book (Judith Regan, Regan Books) and Fox is airing the show. Freemantle Media, the company producing the show (along with Simon Cowell's appropriately titled company "Syco") is someone I'll let know I won't be watching that show this year either, in protest. If you want to do the same, have at it -

A call to Fremantle Media to C.F. Coutaz's office brought a denial from the secretary that they were involved in this project. A transfer to legal brought the same denial. A transfer to "Shay" (general counsel) led to an answering machine... Google doesn't provide any links for "Fremantle", "O J Simpson" and "cowell" except for some old links to the last time they tried to get O.J on board...

That's not what Sam (entertainment reporter) said on KTLA this morning.

So you're a fan of OJ, or do you just take any opportunity to lash out at anything I post?

I watched almost every minute of the trial. I had to go to Europe for two weeks in the middle of it, and made sure I was near CNN-Intl. so I could follow it as best I could while I was gone. I had several telephone conversations with William Hodgman during the trial.
Frankly, I think you'd have done a better job than Clarke did; anyone with half a brain should have been able to put that vicious killer away, if not get the death penalty.

Why would you take my objective report of Fremantle's denials as a lash-out at you? Are you paranoid?

This is certainly yet another good reason to boycott Fox, on top of the fact that it is the main portal for Fascist propaganda in the United States.
It's real. Fox is certainly paying an active role in the book's promotion, whatever connections they may have with the publisher. OJ is one sick puppy, as are decision makers at Fox.

"Fox, which plans to air an interview with Simpson Nov. 27 and 29, said Simpson describes how he would have committed the 1994 slayings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman, "if he were the one responsible."
Law enforcement experts I've conversed with told me that if the LA cops hadn't destroyed the case against him by, in their eagerness, planting evidence (as they were shown to do in a number of scandals after the trial) OJ would be likely in jail now. Fox execs are helping promote a murderer. This is not surprising since Fox has been the strongest cheerleader of the war-criminal policies of sociopath President George W. Bush, who is responsible for the slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent lives in Iraq, much much more than the murders committed by OJ, Charles Manson, the Boston Strangler, Jack the Ripper, BTK, and Son of Sam combined.

I stay away from FNC not just because it plays it fast and loose with journalisitic ethics and integrity, but because it shows actual disdain for it. FNC is pure entertainment channel, not news. Frankly as distasteful as Simpson and his book may be, he fits with the channel perfectly.

You mean the "fair and balanced"* network? Surely you jest.
