Maybe, but it took Fox 30 years to establish themselves as a policy making outlet and propaganda promoter for white nationalist. If they are destroyed their base will dissolve into various factions of right wing paranoia outlets all vying for attention. And one thing those other smaller media outlets lack is the ability to literally set GOP policy in place before the party has even decided on it the way Fox does.

I know it's unlikely that Fox is ruined here, reality has yet to be so kind is this awful timeline, but that won't stop me from hoping for it.

Never will I ever stop the pursuit of the destruction of evil for risk of the possibility of the next evil.  You are more likely to see the next evil by not stopping the current one...compounded.  The next evil is always coming anyway it seems...funny too, most folks saying stuff like that tend to be the baddies..."could be worse..."  Sure it could...but right now it's you...it shouldn't come down to luck here anyway.

Congratulations, you're in the running for dumbest comment, but it's early yet.


You don't want Putin to be hit by a giant meteor?

Can't we set the Murdoch Empire on fire instead?

Losing Fox News would undoubtedly be a net plus, but breaking that family's iron grip on the media landscape of THREE different countries would be more betterer.

I should probably have your attitude on this one, because let's face it, this country has a history of proving it can in fact let me down at every turn, but, in this we have a case study.

OANN was clearly worse than FOX, and yet, was unable to capture any appreciable market presence before libeling itself out of existence. It was Hater-ade on full blast. So, it's possible possible that there's a limit to how much

"Go grab your gun and murder your neighbors for the glory of The Great Pumpkin!!!!!"

People are willing to tolerate. They need it spoon fed in couch language that's deniable for their dark thoughts. Look at YEEEEEEEEEEE and Jones recently. Ye went too far, he crossed the line. So did Jones, but people still buy the narrative with him. We can claim race is a factor here, but I think the language makes up the difference, the Right loves a self hating racist black representative, you just can't be shouting the quiet parts out loud.

Now, that said, I think there could absolutely be something as bad as FOX, maybe even worse, but probably not OANN levels.

Dunno, morning coffee thoughts.

At the rate Twitter is setting itself on fire, it's only a matter of time where being Sued would be the best case scenario.

Free Speech Absolutist, right? Hey, anyone want to openly plot a kidnapping of a major government official out in the open down to where we buy our guns, the date, and time and their schedule of movements? I mean, Free Speech right? Everything's allowed? Why do you hate Freedom?
