Here is one message variation that I sent FOX advertisers:
I know that advertising is very difficult in today’s world with so many outlets. But choosing an outlet that has questionable intentions will cause issues with your buyers. I wanted to bring to your attention that I will not be purchasing your products in the future because the Fox News Network has chosen to exclude Ron Paul from a planned January 6th televised Republican candidates forum. Fox stated they only have room for the top 5 polling candidates. Ron Paul is polling above Fred Thomson, who is invited!? Other facts such as Ron Paul raised the most money (6.1 million) in a single day in any political event ever!?

I understand that your point of view might not be the same as Fox News, but not until you drop your adverting on this network, I will not be purchasing your products.

Thanks you, Mike​
Below are the replies, (so far), some are written by real people, one is a cookie cutter reply...

Script replies. Upper management is, no doubt, having these passed along.
 
Here's one of mine from Ford :rolleyes:

Thank you for contacting the Ford Motor Company Customer Relationship Center regarding Ford's television advertising.

We believe one of the most effective ways to connect with customers and generate mass awareness of our products is through television advertising. We treat our purchase of commercial time as we do any other prime time, mainstream television program. By buying commercial time on top-rated shows, we are not making judgment on the specific content of the show but simply making an optimized attempt to reach our many customers through award-winning television programming. Ford Motor Company values the opinions and sensibilities of our customers worldwide and will continue to try to place advertising on programs that reach and appeal to our diverse customer base.

If you have any other inquiries, please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to address them for you.

Sincerely,
