Our NATIONAL problem is how things are (and aren't) reported on Fox.

[Sparkly]

Right now, the foxnews.com headline says "Trump Takes Decisive Action"... This is why rightwing idiots are rightwing idiots. (That, and rumors they spread on social media.) They are happily DELUDED.

I know you know, but please boycott rightwing sponsors and contributors, including Fox sponsors; write letters to your local newspaper editors and representatives (especially if you're in "red" areas!), and act locally however you can to start drumming up support for voting.

Despite everything, it's still the best thing we have.

1. Social media can be helpful (to extent)

I've been seeing lots of videos from ordinary folks and typically non-political "influencers" (people with large followings) saying they are horrified by what this administration is doing. I have to image some MAGA people see those videos too.

2. Yes, but through what lens do MAGA people see that

or anything else?

[newdeal2]

3. No idea

One such video (from a lady in LA) said she had drinks with two Trumper friends. They agreed that Trump is crossing a line here and this is not what Angelenos want.

Gave me some hope.

4. Waiting for someone or group to walk in and simply take over the airwaves...

with the Truth.

6. That happened in the GW Bush years.

There was a move to establish progressive radio.

I'm not sure if it lost its vigor after Obama, or became squelched during Trump I. Now it seems quite silent, unless I am mistaken.

8. air america was sabotaged.

there were investors who were rt wingers, who built it up then pulled the plug.
not to mention dem candidates didnt buy any air time. something i still hold a grudge against kerry for.
that’s the real reason the media kowtows to the money party. elect season ads go for near super bowl prices.

5. Right up to just before his ignominious departure from the WH, . . .

. . . Musk was receiving rave reviews from Faux. That despite the fact that it was apparent there was little to no net budget savings from the DOGE efforts. Also, Faux's phony stories about how great Musk was doing concealed real news that Trump was creating a string of disasters domestically and internationally.

7. Faux is faux

We can't expect anything but fiction from them.
