“Think outside the Fox” (anti-Fox News saying)

Liberals often claim that conservatives watch too much of the Fox News Channel. “Think outside the Fox” (a pun on “think outside the box”) has been a bumper sticker saying since at least 2004.
   
A similar saying—“Annoy a conservative—think for yourself”—has also been cited in print since 2004.
   
   
Wikipedia: Fox News Channel
Fox News Channel (FNC), commonly referred to as Fox or Fox News, is a cable and satellite news channel owned by the Fox Entertainment Group, a subsidiary of News Corporation. As of April 2009, it is available to 102 million households in the United States and further to viewers internationally, broadcasting primarily out of its New York City studios.
 
The channel was created by Australian-American media mogul Rupert Murdoch, who hired Roger Ailes as its founding CEO. The channel was launched on October 7, 1996 to 17 million cable subscribers. The channel slowly rose to prominence in the late 1990s. In terms of regular viewers (Nielsen ratings), Fox News rates as the United States’ most watched cable news channel, ahead of CNN and MSNBC.
 
Many observers have asserted that both Fox’s news reporting and its political commentary promote conservative political positions. Fox News Channel maintains that its political commentary and news reporting operate independently of each other and denies any bias in its news reporting.
