<First, I think everyone who watched the Fox special and was appalled by it
should write a stern email (or letter, or what-have-you) to the Fox studio
executives telling them your displeasure with their actions in this regard.>

Forget Fox. Target the advertisers.

Sadly, though, advertisers LOVE these kinds of programs. It's what's become
known as 'Oberg's Rule of TV Pseudo-Science' :

"Advertisers love TV shows that are guaranteed to attract gullible,
intellectually deficient viewers, it makes it easier for their ads to con
them."

To counter this, you have to hit them in the pocketbook, their only organ that
has a sense of pain (or shame).
