Fox News defames Irish Hungerstriker

To:  Steve Sheperd, Fox News, Fox News advertisers

We the undersigned wish to register both our disgust and condemnation at Fox News Sheperd Smith's recent comments on Irish Hunger Striker Bobby Sands which were as follows.

"On this date Bobby Sands died after 66 days on a hunger strike in prison in Belfast N.I.. The moral of the story eat more often"

Bobby Sands suffered incalculable suffering under British oppression in Northern Ireland and is revered worldwide by people of all persuasions for his sacrifice, principles and courage. When he died over 100,000 people attended his funeral, protests were held all over the world and streets were named in his honour. Sheperds cheap throwaway remarks denigrate his memory and insults his family, friends and comrades. We pledge to boycott Fox News, its affiliates and any company which chooses to advertise on it until a full apology and retraction is issued.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
