3. Done
I added the following comment:

The sooner that your advertising executives come to realize that the American people are tired of your company's funds going toward subsidizing state-sanctioned propaganda, the better.

8. Done. Here's what I wrote:
"It's NOT NEWS; it's disinformation and... to put it generously... 'advocacy journalism'. In other words, Fox News is guilty of misrepresenting itself and therefore, of false advertising.

I will assume that you are similarly engaged if you persist in sponsoring this propagandistic and dishonest enterprise."

9. Even more effective -- set your cites on the local advertisers!!!!
if you can bear it... listen to Bill-O on your local radio for a little while. When they get to the local advertising segment, jot down the names of the business and contact them directly by US Mail. Have a few of your friends do the same. Local businesses will listen. They don't want to lose customers because of being controversial.

14. This sounds impossible
A ton of companies advertise on Fox news. There is no way you could boycott them all.
