    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Nothing will change in this country until we take action of some kind to limit propaganda outlets like (and primarily) Fox News.

    Fox News is an existential threat to democracy at this point. Even if causation is hard to prove, it seems so stupifyingly obvious that Fox News is why we got Trump, why the country cannot even agree on baseline realities like the results of the 2020 election, and why we faced and are likely to face again a violent insurrection. It’s been well-documented to intentionally function as right-wing propaganda. It should not be allowed to be called “news,” and there should be a national push to hold it accountable.
