Disgusted with Foxnews.com

By: Steve Huston

By Bill Johnson There have been times – perhaps a lot of times – that I have served as a watchman on the tower giving warning regarding upcoming television or radio programs, and advertisements – urging friends, family and others to “guard their heart.â€Â I’m in no way alone in this calling. For that I am so very thankful as the need is great for all of us to be discerning, to warn, to exhort, to encourage others to keep themselves from images, themes and programs that Satan can use to take us down paths that will desensitize, degrade, and destroy! One person that I know who does this faithfully and very well is Steve Ensley. Steve heads an internet filter ministry known as www.afo.net. Sometimes he is stuck in a very tough spot in his Internet filtering work where he is forced by good conscience to block websites that, though they may be very popular, feature decency or pornography. Recently, Foxnews.com has been causing him great concern.I’ll let him speak for himself on this. This statement of Steve’s was written (this past Friday)  to his customers. He is telling them that recently he has been forced to block Foxnews.com. Unless you are a subscriber to Steve’s www.afo.net you probably aren’t being blocked – you aren’t being protected from even the likes of Foxnews.com as it increasingly tests the consciences of those who have a desire to “keep themselves unspotted from the world.â€Â Quoting: … You may have noticed lately that the popular news site Foxnews.com has been blocked on several different occasions. Our filtering not only blocks sites based on a list, but it also looks at content, creates a score and then blocks the page if the score exceeds a certain threshold. For some unknown reason, foxnews.com has moved more and more towards being a tabloid site featuring all kinds of sleazy articles and pictures. Apparently this is to add more sizzle. The result is that the filter detects this content and blocks the page just like it would any other site. This is extremely frustrating for you and for us! It blocks a site that you may often use for news and you won't know why! For us, we get the frustrated calls and emails wondering why the site is blocked. This is particularly annoying because foxnews.com is one of the few news sites that has a conservative leaning. Or at least that was true in the past. I'm thinking of launching a protest campaign with Fox, so please watch for announcements on actions we can all take to voice our concerns. Thanks for your time! We sure appreciate the opportunity to serve you and your family! God bless! Steve Ensley Executive Director Cleanwww Inc – dba American Family Online sensley@afo.net 850-362-6180 x100 http://www.afo.net I share Steve’s great concern regarding Foxnews.com and their increase in using sex on their webpage. Pray for Steve! In addition, if you share Steve’s burden for protecting yourself and your loved ones from filthy things on the Internet, I encourage you to give afo.net a try. Lastly, this is one of those times where action is surely needed.  If Foxnews doesn't hear from you and me and other decency-minded people, they will think that few are offended with their sexual displays and sexual news articles and continue to feature them.
