Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and their whole stable of liars had a lot to do with this insurrection in our Capitol. Nobody lied more than they did. And they knew they were lying. They were as complicit as anyone.
FOX News is guilty as all hell.
They should pay a price.

(60,016 posts)Part 1 - is trump and the big lie - his inciting violence, his endless cry of election fraud.
Part 2 - as you note, right wing hate radio and TV - the loud right wing noise machine that helped create this cult
Part 3 - all politicians who continue to cry election fraud - Hawley and Cruz, and all others.
Part 4 - the cult that has been formed - the domestic terrorists.
Nothing gets better if any of these four elements are allowed to continue.
There is a hell of a lot of difficult work to be done. Getting rid of trump - Part 1 above - is only a start.

(75 posts)Your cable or satellite TV provider pays a subscriber fee to carry Fox News. That cost is passed directly on to YOU.
Every network charges cable and satellite providers a small fee per subscriber; the one for Fox News is extraordinarily high. A typical household pays Fox News almost $2 per monthabout $20 per year via their cable or satellite provider, regardless of whether they actually watch the channel.
In 2020 and 2021, a wave of big contracts between Fox News and TV providers for subscriber fees are set to expire. These contracts make up about 65% if Fox News subscriber fee revenue. If we want to stop paying the Fox News tax, now is the time to act.
Fox News makes approximately $1.8 billion per year from hidden subscriber feestwice as much as CNN and three times as much as MSNBC.1
The network's extra-high fees, which make up most of its revenue, protect Fox News from the advertisers that are quickly abandoning it.2
