Or not watch baseball games on FOX Sports? A much better reason to stop using MySpace would be that it's ad-laden and the UI sucks total ass. I think that you fight FOX News not by trying to stop their funding by boycotting all other FOX products, but rather calling them on their bullshit and fighting fire with fire. Best of all: millions of anti-FOX News MySpace pages. Does that mean that I have to stop enjoying all of my “Simpsons” DVDs as well? Or not watch baseball games on FOX Sports?

It needs to end. Artist, fans, and consumers of content must know and understand that any revenue generated for Myspace (A Newscorp company) is going to continue to fund the operations of fox news ( http://www.foxnews.com/oreilly/) as well as the continued dismantling of independent media around the world. If as an artist or a fan or a user of the Internet you support any social issues or an independent and free media then myspace is not the place to become a member. By doing this you give them continued revenue and power. As far as the Myspace love fest. It needs to end.
