AmbergrisCaye.com Home Forums Talk Belize Weather Tropical Storms & Hurricanes FOX support

-- Everyone should start dialing FOX - no matter where they are - LA or NY. If we get enough phones ringing, they have to listen!

More than sad, you would think they would be willing to put out at least the effort the people on AC put out to look after their people for the last 5 days.

No kidding!

Do the people of FOX not realize that God blessed them with a miracle? All of their people survived the storm. THAT'S GREAT! But, the fact that they have the power to do something to help the less fortunate to communicate the need for help, but are not interested in doing so is mindboggling! Let's keep making calls and see what we can do. Perhaps we're barking up the wrong tree. Perhaps another network would like the title of "HERO". To the rest of you who ARE doing your part, GOD BLESS YOU and HANG IN THERE!

If anyone affiliated with FOX in any way is monitoring this board, please post something here. I fear we have lost contact with FOX. Are there crew members still in Belize?

I must confess that I am completely disturbed by your accusatory remarks. You obviously do not understand the situation and the lengths my company has gone through to ensure that people are safe. First of all we are not the FOX Network. We are a company that is hired by Fox to produce a show. We had forty-five lives to look after in this storm and ensure their families that we were looking after them. We are not a news agency and have nothing to do with reporting the news. There are many seperate entities involved with a major network whether it be FOX, ABC, NBC or CBS. News it a completely seperate division...do you understand? I am sorry that all of you are frustrated and feel like nobody cares about the AMbergris Caye. I know we care, but our first priority is ensuring that our people get home...the fact that they are getting home has nothing to with FOX, the State Dept. or Government...they are getting home because a lot of people have taken the necessary steps to see that things happen. I would ask that you all start trying to take necessary steps to see that positive action is taken and quit bad mouthing people and situations you know nothing about (Helen). Helen, I have no interest in being a "HERO" so if you want to take your plea somewhere else...please do so. I took every phone call you and your family members placed to me and helped you as much as possible, I'm sorry that you think it is okay to sit around and waste time complaining. Please stop with your repetitive remarks that really say nothing, I have a lot of people to be concerned about.

Good for you David, for sticking up for yourself! You're not the only one tired of the accusatory remarks flying around.

I'm glad that your crew is safe. It's unfortunate that some people feel the need to lash out in instances like these.

I sent an email to my local Fox station that was very similar to the letters I sent my congressman. Perhaps email is a good approach too.

I sent that email on Monday.

David, I will not bug you again. One final question. Do you know ANYONE with FOX headquarters in New York? I need a name. I will take it from here, if you give me a FOX contact name to speak with. I'm sorry you do not understand how strongly this is effecting the rest of us who really want to help the residents of this poor country. I'm sure if we get the media on this, more will be done to help.

Just wanted to let everyone know that a friend of mine spoke with Roger Ailes (a powerful executive at FOX Headquarters in New York (212) 301-8220). My friend told Mr. Ailes about the loss of life and need for help in Belize, he asked "how did they die?" That's how much increased international media coverage is needed. Most people here in US and the rest of the world have no idea of the devastation and destruction caused by Hurricane Keith. How can outsiders help if they know nothing about the VICTIMS' dire need for help?

So, Mr. David Yost doesn't want to be a hero. That's good for him, because I believe he doesn't have what it takes (within him) to become one. Maybe if he desn't want to be a hero, he shouldn't be a financial success either.

I'll be watching FOX for ads about the show "TEMPTATIONS." I'll see what I can do to make sure it doesn't make lots of money for mr. david yost (the show's Producer).

Will you do your part too?
