Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI just figured out how to make a fortune:
Start a TV network which parodies and more importantly, corrects FOX in real time and addresses in detail their lies and Nazified reporting and opinionating. It would be factual and rip-roaring humorous at the same time.
My theory, which belongs to me and is mine too, is that you make them an object of fact-checking, derision, and humor and you pull no punches. None.
For years, FOX has been the perpetual motion machine for idiots: their entertainment programming is insidiously destructive of American mores and values: Simpsons, Family Guy, that 70s Show, Malcolm in the Middle, etc, while their News Division (sic and sick) decry these denigrations if America. They make money both ways. Yes, then theres FOX Sports. Another huge moneymaker. And a way to undermine family life by helping to steal Sundays from family life and devote it to professional sports. Im as big a fan as it gets within reason but Im not fooled for an instant.
Im telling you, theres money to be made...and a nation to be saved.

(10,721 posts)...such as John Fugelsang to give a serious and entertaining daily press briefing for the sole purpose of addressing the Trump/Republican lies of the previous 24 hours.
And not just the substance of the lie, but the tactic or reason behind the lie. In other words, address the what and the why. Because as obvious as tactics like 'projection' are to most of us, I guarantee many don't recognize the propaganda for what it is.
