If Fox "News" Existed in 1865 - Luckovich

1. K&R

[sop]

2. Tucker's the one with the bow tie.

[relayerbob]

3. Although, from the looks of

Reconstruction, the monuments to their leaders all over the South, the KKK, and their current trumpian restoration, the effects were pretty much the same.

[Sneederbunk]

4. In fact, let's tell them they won. Yes, that's the ticket.

[DENVERPOPS]

30. How about

"For the sake of perpetuating the Republican BIG LIE" ..............

[Mr. Evil]

5. What I don't understand,

is that a significant amount of MAGAts are southerners. You know, all those people that are constantly blabbering about their precious 'Southern Heritage' and other similar bullshit trying to cover for their racism. Yet, they all worship a spoiled rotten rich kid from New York City. A Yankee for fuck's sake!

Would this qualify as a full scale traitorous circle jerk?

[erronis]

6. You seem to understand it well. They seem to be an easily led herd.

I like the "circle jerk" altho I don't want to visualize this.

Most of the leaders of the earlier insurrection (the southern one in 1860) were rich landowners who didn't have much in common with the people that were fed into the buzz-mill of the Civil War.

[lunatica]

13. Let it be a circular firing squad!

They can find a good use for their automatic rifles! We won’t object!

[keithbvadu2]

22. Trump, a NY Yankee, calls Sessions a 'dumb southerner' and they love him down there.

Trump, a NY Yankee, calls Sessions a 'dumb southerner' and they love him down there.

After all, Trump 'tells it like it is'.

[ffr]

7. Another would be about Lincoln's assassination.

This is no time to politicize guns.

[intheflow]

21. That's exactly what would have happened. n/t

[calimary]

8. No shit.

[Joinfortmill]

9. Someone here must know how we shut FoxNews down

[Lonestarblue]

10. The only possibility I can think of is to try to shame the corporations that support them.

It is corporate advertising that supports Fox, followed by the forced support of people who subscribe to cable and have to pay fees for Fox. Shaming corporations is an uphill climb. Plus, MAGATs would go out and buy their products to keep them supporting Fox just to own the libs. They really don’t care how much damage Fox does to the country or even whether there’s a rational country left in a few years. Gun violence is their answer to everything, and most of them would welcome total anarchy just because it would upset liberals. We are not dealing with rational people.

I’d love to hear better ideas for how to shut down Fox.

[LT Barclay]

11. Any left over laws from WW1 or WW2?

I don't think that FDR would have let a immigrant to this country spread Nazi propaganda over the airwaves, but we let Rupert Murdoch.
I wonder what he's really up to.

[Lonestarblue]

17. He tried to spread Fox News to England, but the Brits just didn't bother watching.

Fox didn’t last long there, though he still owns some media outlets. I’m sure his media was active in promoting Brexit. I think Australia has done a better job of containing his perverted news, but I don’t know how they’ve done that (new topic to research). Or perhaps it’s just that most of the Brits and Aussies are smart enough to avoid Fox, unlike the MAGA fans.

[spanone]

12. ...K&R...

[DFW]

14. Ask any Southerner

And we'll tell you how many people STILL believe that!

[Wild blueberry]

15. Ding ding ding

We have a winner!
Luckovich.
Thank you.

[2naSalit]

16. Or...

What really happened.

[Escurumbele]

18. Genius...Lukovich always has the right theme. Brilliant!

[Blue Owl]

19. K&R

[barbtries]

20. there are people alive today

who must have been watching that.

[keithbvadu2]

23. And the pillow guy selling goose down pillows who says he has proof the South really won.

And the pillow guy selling goose down pillows who says he has proof the South really won.

Just like today, his proof always turned into discount coupons for his crappy products.

[The Jungle 1]

24. The Confederacy lost?

Now just wait a cotton picking moment here.

[czarjak]

25. Knot-C's consider Klansmen to be amateurs. Despite Tulsa too.

[Rhiannon12866]

26. K&R for another great Luckovich!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

27. Great cartoon

[SouthernDem4ever]

28. The last bit of proof needed showing fox is just a propaganda network

by not covering the Jan 6 hearings - the most important issue to the survival of our democracy.

[Best_man23]

29. Think how much they would have whined about Lincoln

Suspending Habeas Corpus. They would have most certainly made that a central theme in their "coverage."

Also, they would have fully supported and amplified the Dred Scott decision.
