Tucker Carlson, Hannity, and more are getting away with the most dastardly lies modern media has ever seen here in the United States. These liars believe that all of their Trump-cult base is stupid, but in fact some of them are quite smart. The only reason is they’re still with Fox News is because it was what they watched before it became the Trump propaganda machine. Conservatives don’t change too easily, that’s what makes them conservatives. Fox knows this. Cambridge Analytica knows this, and the Russian Troll factories still active on behalf of the Kremlin know this. Here we are a year and a half past the election and nothing is being done about the worst offender of all: Fox News.
So, the only way to turn Trump eyes toward the light is to convince them that they are, in fact, being conned, unmercifully. We need to hit Fox News with unrelenting fact checking and especially work on converting and publicizing those brave souls like The Family Guy and Seth McFarlane who would risk the millions of dollars they make for being on the side of truth. Because what we have here is not just propaganda for Trump a shadowy apparatus CONTROLLING Trump himself. Trump’s like an unbaked fortune cookie in which to insert Fox’s message of the day. He’s an empty vessel. A loser. A liar who doesn’t care as long as he gets his fortune cookie and its hateful message. As long as he gets on stage to spew bile and hate.
No, what we need is to go after Fox itself. Call out every lie, make public every breach of news integrity. Highlight their obvious efforts to undermine the United States of America. I hate to say it, but we need to sue them for obvious ethical breaches like Sean Hannity’s conflicts of interest. These are against the law and must be punished. And there are many others examples, Tucker Carlson is particularly bad too.
So, what you do you say? Let’s go on a Fox Hunt—the best kind. Change a few viewers perceptions of what their favorite mind-numbing network is up to, and we might just turn the tide. And just to keep up to date, check out Politifact’s excellent reporting on Fox Lies, which shows a staggering 59% of Fox’s statements to range from mostly false to pants on fire lies. Let’s help turn up the heat on Fox!!
