To break Donald Trump The Democratic Party has to break FOX News

[UCmeNdc]

Any suggestions?

1. Prayer?

Hexes?

Have Bloomberg buy the SOB place?

2. I've seen the "just buy it" suggestion on DU a lot.

I'm pretty sure it's not for sale. It can't continue to wreak havoc and influence policy if it's sold and shut down.

If it was that easy, someone like Warren Buffett and/or Bill Gates might have organized an attempt already.

3. There is always a price.

4. They would just use money to start another

And most local stations are Sinclair now too.

5. The party has ignored hate radio for almost four decades.

They aren't going to do anything about Fox, either. We've conceded the narrative on almost every issue. Even our campaign slogans are weak. It's like our side doesn't believe in marketing. I don't get it. And now we have two billionaire candidates who claim they are concerned for the country. Then buy some radio stations in the heartland, pay for some top notch writing talent, & run the things at a loss if you have to. That's how they could help the party.

9. The people who can afford it.....

have their own agendas.

They're sometimes parallel to ours but never the same.

6. I don't know how you break them but Fox is the most dangerous

thing for our Democracy. Talk to any Republican and you will find they get all their news from Fox and bs on Facebook and Twitter.

7. The Fairness Doctrine needs to come back.

In an interview a few months after the election Obama said that we have to get Fux Ruse off of all the TVs in all the bars, etc across the country. He didn't do it while he was in office though. Maybe he wanted to "reach across the aisle" and not offend the Tea Party.

17. And how, exactly, would Obama have gotten Fox News off of the bars, etc.?

[BigmanPigman]

18. I think he meant that Fux Ruse needs to

go away and that he used seeing it in bars as an examply of how it is viewed all over the place on public TVs.

[onenote]

19. If so, then can you explain your criticism of Obama?

You wrote: "He didn't do it while he was in office though. Maybe he wanted to "reach across the aisle" and not offend the Tea Party."

8. Tough order...the only thing I can think of is to go into that den of lions, keep one's cool and

Just try to expose those viewers to some sanity. Would Fox accept ads with our message?

[NCLefty]

10. Allegedly, one of Murdoch's kids doesn't like how it's run (or whatever).

But we're clearly not seeing any influence from that kid at this time. Maybe after daddy kicks. :/

11. I've made my house a fauxless house as possible.

Especially no faux snooze here.

I was glad when they sold off much of their entertainment TV biz to Disney.

12. Need rest of M$M to label them RIGHT NOW !! Then stop calling them journalist.

[brettdale]

13. Its sad

But every few years, ya read Faux News is going down, and it never happens.

Ya not going to break it.

Ya just have to get out the vote, door knock, campaign for ya candidate, seen open minded
people the facts, get the person you know is a democrat who doesnt vote, and give them enough
information that makes them want to vote.

Unfortunately you wont take down Faux, nice thought, but its here to stay.

[SlogginThroughIt]

14. Treat it like cigarettes.

Treat it like cigarettes and make it socially unacceptable to be a fox news viewer.

[elias7]

15. That would be a good use of Steyer's and Bloomberg's money

Buy Fox News and make it truly fair and balanced

[Arthur_Frain]

16. I don't believe its ever going away.

Best thing we can do is studiously and publicly expose every instance of the lies they peddle. Some will never be convinced, but some may, eventually, be pushed over the edge by the proverbial straw that broke the camels’ back. Best we can hope for really.

20. Don't waste your time...

Fox News is a symptom, not a cause. It’s not taking liberals and converting the, to conservatives; a It’s telling conservatives what they want to hear. Get ride of Fox and the audience will switch to Newsmax or OANN or some new media source.
