I am an NFL fan. I find it hard to wrap my head around Fox Sports having a deal with the NFL.

I do try my best to avoid Nazi references, but I think about World War II

Suppose that we had Nazi TV News in 1942, but we also had Nazi Sports that had the rights to the World Series.

Would we happily tune in to Nazi Sports and ignore the damage that Nazi News was doing?

Every radio station that broadcasts even one second of Limbaugh, Hannity, or the other wingnut Dipshits, OWNS this violent attack on our Democracy.

They are complicit, and so are the businesses that give them advertising dollars.
