They have too much influence. Better to figure out how to sabotage their messaging as Brand seems to do. They do appear to hate him. I didn't even know who he was until I discovered they hated him so much!

It would be dangerous to dismiss them. They pedal influence and propaganda with the tagline, "Fair and Balanced" and "YOU DECIDE".
Very misleading.

FOX is dangerous. They should not be listened to, but someone should keep an eye on them.
As for Brand, he's one of these fools who goes around advocating against voting, which is real dangerous. The fact he's some sort of star, and has more cred than FOX makes him dangerous as well.
Both FOX and Brand should put a sock in it.

so his message pretty much resonates with me. I will not waste another vote on liars and corporate fakes. And it makes me extra mad if they dare to act like they have earned the right to associate with me.

So yeah, Brand is dangerous because he speaks the truth.

I sincerely believe in the electoral process...when it's fair and offers real alternatives.

We no longer have such a process.
