Why aren't we doing more to oppose Fox News?

[ThatPoetGuy]

Where are the billboards proclaiming Fox lies?

Where are the full-page ads?

Where are the rallies?

Where are the bumper stickers?

We have this massive media operation spewing lies and right-wing propaganda, all day, every day, and we should be doing something about it. We shouldn't be allowing them to control the debate. Fox is a foreign-owned station pushing policies that hurt Americans -- why aren't we doing more?

I've spoken with Fox watchers who honestly believe Fox is simply a mirror of MSNBC, which is an outrageous lie. MSNBC's talking heads slant left, but MSNBC hasn't pushed fraudulent videos. Fox invents the news outright; it drives Americans with a constant barrage of racist imagery, and has radicalized quite a few watchers to commit acts of terrorism.

Why aren't we doing more to call Fox out for its constant campaign to mislead and harm the American people?

1. Even better: why are we not doing more to stop the GOP from stealing elections? n/t

6. I don't think that's better.

The battlefield is the heart and soul of Americans, the American people. When millions of people every day go around believing calculated falsehoods, what good is democracy?

Were it not for Fox, Prosser would have had no support, and only Rush's listeners would hate America enough to support Walker's union busting.

Were it not for Fox, most Americans would know the truth about global warming.

Were it not for Fox, Bush wouldn't have been able to steal the 2000 election.

We're fighting for bigger things than any one election; we're fighting for the future of America and the world. And that fight is fought by telling the truth; we lose when Fox tells lies.

2. I've got a sticker on my truck that says, turn off fox, bad news for America

3. Depends on who you mean by we.

4. What they OMIT too.

Which is any news that would make the multinationals look bad.
I've even noticed that they are hardly covering the Mississippi floods. Global warming you know.

5. Because "they" have all the money. nt

7. There was a little blowback during the solidarity

demonstrations while the Wisconsin uprising was going on. There WAS a group that went to Faux Noise HQ in NYC. That's what's needed. A contingent ALWAYS goes there, DIRECTLY to the media centers. ANd they RAISE HELL! Nothing sells air time like angry people.

8. Why? This one is pretty simple.

Quick. Give me some proof that Fox lies (no, I have absolutely no doubt that they do and probably have a stack of things to prove it too...given sufficient time) in about 5 words or less. Heck, let's be generous -- 10 words. Because that's about how much time a billboard has.

Show that Fox has 'propaganda' in a sense that your average, ordinary low-information voter will understand.

Full-page ads? What, and give the Fox viewers something to actually ~point~ to as the liberal media?

The reason none of this happens is because proof is in the eye of the beholder, and the apathetically skeptical aren't beholding.

9. I have not paid a cable bill in probably 20 years.

10. This is what I am doing -- what are you doing?
