What would happen if all of a sudden Fox news started really telling the truth.

[redstatebluegirl]

Consistently telling the truth to their minions. How quickly would the country go back to some type of normal? If Rush were blocked from the airways, would we ever go back to normal?

Our problem is 45, but our ongoing problem is Fox and Rush.

[Turbineguy]

1. Cultural shock and social disorientation.

As Dr. Heywood Floyd would have put it.

[lagomorph777]

3. I loved Heywood Floyd but I gotta disagree with him on this one.

I don't think Fux watchers would even notice the change. They would just do whatever the TeeVee tells them to do. They are like sponges, absorbing everything they see on their mind-control channel. If Bloomberg were to buy Fux and flip the message, we could have a major transformation.

[Solomon]

10. I think you got something there.

[Coleman]

5. A big demand for OAN

To be on TV. And if you thought FOX was bad, check out OAN. They must pay minimum wage and recruit from the deep South. One has appeared at some of the press conferences. You can tell who it is because the question starts out praising our dear leader and finishes with the biggest gofer-ball question ever.

[Shermann]

9. OANN is mildly corrupt

They have an unwritten contract. Call on us at press briefings and artificially elevate our profile on a national stage, and in return we'll ask questions which deflect away from the thorny issues and back to your favorite subjects.

Do the Democrats have any news partners like this in their back pocket? I'm sure the Cons would say ALL of the MSM. I don't think so.

[Sneederbunk]

2. Hell would freeze over.

[Chainfire]

4. Waiting in the wings

would be a clone, ready to take over the message. There have always been, and will always be people who will sell their souls for money.

[jayfish]

18. Newsmax is already On Cable and Satellite Systems.

The switch would be painless.

[doc03]

6. Trump would declare it fake news and they would

watch Newsmax and OAN.

[lpbk2713]

7. Roger Ailes would be spinning in his grave.

It would be recorded on seismometers.

[tritsofme]

8. No, I don't think our politics would be improved by a massive censorship regime

and ripping up the First Amendment, but that’s just me.

[lagomorph777]

11. I don't get your point. Didn't see censorship mentioned in the OP.

[Mariana]

16. It's a good thing the OP didn't even suggest any such thing, isn't it?

Reading is FUNdamental.

[yonder]

12. The most 'sploding heads like the world has never seen.

Tremendous 'sploding heads.

[procon]

13. Wouldn't make that much difference to many of

their viewers. The biases, rage, hate and fears of a large faction of the Fox audience drives the tone of Fox News.

If Fox switched their programming agenda, those viewers from the rightwing fringe would be convinced that they had been bought out by the evil Dems, Soros or Gates, or some UN consortium for the one world order. They will just gravitate to other, even nuttier sources of lies and conspiracy theories to reinforce their deep seated confirmation biases. Nothing will change their opinions.

[ProfessorGAC]

14. I Think I'm Going With Your Opinion

Saved me some typing, procon!

[Mariana]

15. Their audience would turn them right off if they ever did that. nt.

[liberaltrucker]

17. The Planet would fly out of it's orbit

[DFW]

19. No one would notice

Their people never watch anything else, so they would never notice the converging of content.
People who DO know the difference between Fox and the truth would assume there was a glitch with the screen, and that the sound was coming from one of the networks while the screen was stuck on Fox.
