The blogosphere is erupting with the delivery of over 600,000 signatures to Fox by protesters, and hip hop artist NAS to protest its representation of African Americans in its news delivery. You can read some stories on Alternet.
Nas's music video of Sly Fox (some great instances of Fair Use and media commentary thru images)

Selected lyrics from "Sly Fox" by Nas:
It's sly Fox, cyclops
We locked in an idiot box
The video slots broadcasting
Waco Dividian plots
They own YouTube, MySpace
When this ignorant shit going to stop?
They monopolize and lose your views
And the channel you choose
What's a fox characteristic?
Slick shit, sins in, misinformation
Pimp the station, over-stimulation
Reception, deception
Comcast digital Satan
The Fox has a bushy tale
And Bush tells lies and foxtrots
So, I don't know what's real (what's real)
Watch what you're watching
Fox keeps feeding us toxins
Stop sleeping
Start thinking outside of the box
And unplugged from the Matrix stopped you
But watch what you say, Fox Fire is watching
Only fox that I loved was the red one
Only black man that Fox love is
in jail or a dead one
