That's how you combat Fox News. You don't prop them up, giving them legitimacy, while pandering to the Trump racists who are never going to vote Democratic.

Surely they will now retaliate with lies and more lies, but that would happen eventually as they are Trump's personal network.
Thank you for doing what needed to be done!
Still split between Warren and Harris, but Warren is really nailing it.

(713 posts)I am liking Elizabeth Warren more and more as time goes on. She is spot on and pulling ahead of the pack. Her policies and positions are good.
Furthermore, she has really good timing. She takes the right positions and does so in a timely manner, so that she is first on any particular issue. Boycotting Fox News for the reasons she outlined is a smart move.
I am still Undecided, but Elizabeth "The Professor" Warren is currently at the top of my list. I am looking forward to seeing more and more of her, and also want to see her in a debate.

(33 posts)I so agree. Warren has really upped her game. She has really impressed me. Previously I liked her but i thought she was second tier. I now think she has great potential to move the country.

(35,658 posts)I was just telling someone about your points on r-w hate radio. I looked up your post from back in 2012, I believe it was, and sent it around by email.
For my job, I am having to talk with some average type people out in the Midwest. I can hear the effect of r-w hate radio on their thought processes. It has had a long-term effect on how people think in those areas.

(1,402 posts)I LOVE Elizabeth Warren - it's way past time for Democrats to be bold and speak their minds. So far, she is the only Democrat that is courageous enough and bold enough to speak up. The reps have been doing that for years and Democrats have gotten the brunt of their anger. Democrats are too nice - when dealing with mean, hateful people you have to give them a taste of their own medicine. Elizabeth is not a bit mean or hateful - she is just simply calling it like she sees it. More power to her. Thank you bundles, Mrs. Warren!!

(1,898 posts)Honesty is the best policy and her position is honest. I have a single regret to the credit of Faux News:
If you can filter the fabrications, dissembling and bald-faced lies, the network covers many stories (real stories) which I don't see covered elsewhere. I don't know the solution but this sticks in my craw.

IndyOp
(15,515 posts)I agree with starving the beast and Fox has a large enough viewership that it cannot only consist of Trumps base.
One way to get Dem messaging to Fox viewers is to pay for ads - which is the worst option.
In other words, I dont disagree with Petes point that we need to talk with any and all people of good conscience. There are many millions of those who by habit or out of ignorance tune to Fox.
So... how else could that be done?

SidDithers
(44,228 posts)Look for Fox to react furiously, as Fox will do, likely calling her everything from "Pocahontas" to "Emma Goldman" (actually, Emma Goldman doesn't have a Disney cartoon, so Fox viewers wouldn't understand it). They'll make her seem like Stalin has been reincarnated and that Warren and AOC are gonna be forcing you to eat organic dirt to stay alive while Rashida Tlaib ululates in your ears.
But Warren wouldn't have started this if she didn't know what she was getting into. She could have politely declined and moved on. This is a war she wants. This shows she knows that you have to kill the troll if you want everyone to be able to cross the bridge.
