Fux is cable which requires either cable or an ISP of some kind even if it's your fone.

So even in the U.S. there's an element of government coercion.

or anywhere, actually. That said, there is only an "element of coercion" if they are forced to watch it, or if, perhaps, they are given no other news source.

11. MSNBC: Veterans group asks Pentagon to stop airing Fox News on military bases

Veterans group asks Pentagon to stop airing Fox News on military bases..
There's legitimate reason for U.S. military officials to cease airing the network, which is known to spread anti-democratic propaganda, in its facilities.

By Ja'han Jones

The progressive veterans advocacy group VoteVets is out with a new ad that calls for military bases to stop airing Fox News given its tendency to push disinformation.

“The most valuable weapon to the enemy is disinformation," a narrator says in the ad. "That’s why the Pentagon spends hundreds of millions of dollars training our troops to resist it. Yet, at the same time, the U.S. military uses taxpayer-funded facilities to broadcast disinformation on military bases, knowingly letting false propaganda infiltrate the ranks."

..of media, military-- slow moving fascist movement in U.S. yet seems to be gaining momentum everyday. Perhaps bc I'm older, retired have more time to stop and read, watch observe what's happening around the world-- when your younger, raising a family, one is to busy work, children-- now almost in my 70s --damn every day seems apopolyptic --images of tornado aftermath in Mississippi just heartbreaking some 30 lives list, an entire town just razed-- ok thats nature , and of course, the threat of climate change where we will continue to experience more devasting disasters.

Then, you have El corrupt criminale, racist,bigot y sexual predator spewing his hate filled propaganda inciting violence, images of him threatening , NY DA who is Black..fucking racist, bigoted dog whistles to his nazikkk rabid base aka republiklan maga voters, GOP -- how many voted for odious traitor in 2020? Some 74M -- aye dios 😱 we, meaning ME, MYSELF and I need get off my fat nalgas, butt --move on from the news of the day bc it's just depressing eg fucking culero and his free publicity everywhere -- just sick of looking at his feo cara, god awful evil, vile voice --and help get out the vote, register new voters for 2024. I live in a strong Blue state (NM ) want to help out in surrounding states m, perhaps TX, AZ, CO--checking what democratic party is doing to GOTV in SW U.S. --havent checked their web site since last election 😳 too distracted with daily chaos with eldiablo#45 --which is the point - certainly in the fascist handbook.

Fascism ( damn though I archived post) is some scarry shite !


PAZ.

Even here in New York we saw TFG banners, actually more in 2020 than the one I saw in 2016. Back during that first campaign when the news covered nothing but this offensive blowhard's ridiculous campaign to the exclusion of any other candidates, I quit watching the news, figured I'd turn it on again when the election was over. Shows what I know.

And instead of learning a lesson from the violence and anti-American vitriol that he unleashed, he's still out there, empowered by the crowds that show up, unbelievably running again to lead the government he attempted to overthrow. Someone here explained it to me, saying that his supporters just like to yell and scream as if they were a pep rally, oblivious to the vitriol he spews. But that he's still walking free at all is unbelievable to me. Please, Jack Smith, get it done...

I called people out on fb for believing in propaganda. I told them it gets people killed. I wonder if they still believe the shit now? Covid, the election. Pretty sad.

You ask your right wing friends what the republican party has ever done for the middle and lower class and there is never an answer. They do nothing for us.

I have one friend who says it is racism. I am starting to think he is right.
