(6,873 posts)38. That would be lovely.
But Fox has a history of turning down ad buys which do not fit their narrative. Maybe if someone they would trust would sell it to them, sight unseen - but how do you do that?
And there's also the humanly natural tendency to reject any information which conflicts with what one already believes, and which is at its strongest in the poorly educated and uneducated. You and I are likely capable of saying "Gee, maybe I've been wrong." MAGAts not so much. I'm not 100% certain that, if we could manage that kind of an ad buy (and if the powers at Fox allowed it to continue to run after seeing the first segment) that there wouldn't be riots in the streets.
