Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsWe have got to do something about Fox News.
They have been a problem before but not like this. When Sean Hannity is caught direct messaging Julian Assange, then talking to an audience of one - Trump - they have officially ceased being a news network. They are now a hostile intelligence agency, and they clearly don't have America's best interests at hand. They gave us George Bush, they destroyed Obama, and now they're giving Trump his marching orders.
But the question is what can be done? Can anything be done? We have a hostile intelligence agency operating on our own soil calling itself a news network, whose clear intentions are not American and they only seek to further divide us. We need to address this problem in the next two elections.

You know why the other networks won't stand up against them? It's because Faux is a bully like Donnie, and the other networks are afraid to battle Faux one on one. However, if all the networks banded together and supported each other it could work.

(17,984 posts)The WH and Faux control the RW narrative. If the MSM stood up en masse to deny that narrative, maybe it would have an effect. It doesn't have to be a ten minute segment. It could be just calling them out for what they are: liars. I don't see that as ganging up.

(4,611 posts)We have to stop deluding ourselves into thinking Fox and the rest of conservative entertainment are only speaking to octogenarian nursing home residents. There is an entire new generation of conservatives who consume that stuff and who are even more radical than their predecessors.
