Where is our "have you no shame" moment?!

[cilla4progress]

So many times I expected it. Clearly these people have none. What changed and why?

1. Conservative "news" media

That is the root cause of all our nation’s ills. And it is tough to fix it with the First Amendment protections. About the only way is to get advertising taken off so there is no money

7. Unfortunately, ads aren't their only, or even necessarily main, sources of revenue

Groups such as Media Matters, the liberal-leaning media watchdog, have started circulating lists of the network’s advertisers, including big-name companies like General Motors Co. and Procter & Gamble Co. But so-called affiliate fees from pay-TV providers are far more vital to its operations. “Fox News in its current form could survive, albeit less profitably, without advertisers,” said Brian Wieser, an analyst at Pivotal Research Group LLC. “But it couldn’t survive without affiliate fees.”

21st Century Fox Inc. doesn’t break down the network’s revenue sources, but S&P Global Market Intelligence estimates that about 37 percent of its $2.7 billion in operating revenue came from ads in 2018. Affiliate fees, meanwhile, generated about 60 percent. That pool of money might be a more vulnerable target for activists, Wieser said. “I’m a little surprised Media Matters might not try to

2. Waited for that through 4 years of Donnie Covid....

It never happened.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

3. About what? To whom?

[cilla4progress]

8. History.

...

[Treefrog]

11. Great question.

[cilla4progress]

12. Most here seemed to understand

the allusion.

[abqtommy]

4. It may be irrational to expect people who are willing to drink the Kool-Aid and

the Polonium Punch and live by lies and terrorism to have any shame. We can focus on getting them
all in jail, however.

[Efilroft Sul]

5. The problem is if you ask them that question, they'll tell you, "No, we have no sense of shame."

Just like they have no decency, respect for science, any sense of reason, desire for the common good, and hatred for fascism.

[Bristlecone]

6. The answer is simple "No"

Shame is something for decent people.

[dalton99a]

9. They have neither soul nor conscience nor shame

The only language they understand is power.

[Miguelito Loveless]

10. You cannot shame the shameless

This is the legacy of He Who Cannot Be Shamed.

13. We need to be able to assign them their deserved "lowly status" without them agreeing with us

People like Trump and his craven toadies, self-promoting propagandists like Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham, etc., won't allow themselves to feel or show shame under any circumstances. Trump could shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue, and he wouldn't lose his own support, obviously. These people are literally having fun being brazenly rotten. They'll stop when it stops being fun and profitable.

We who would feel shame doing what these lowlife do (lying constantly, not giving a crap about fair play, democracy, or even human life) need to judge these kinds of people, not try to shame them. We need to hold ourselves above them and them beneath us. We need to pity them, loathe their weakness and unrecognized self-disgrace, their smallness, their brazen greed, their worthlessness to anyone with an ounce of character or self-respect.

We are better than them as is everyone who rejects them. There needs to be status and honor for everyone in rejecting them. Then they'll be rejected.

14. I agree -

call them out!

At risk to our own safety!

[Nictuku]

15. Or what about "Sore Loser" and "Sour Grapes"

.... we heard a ton of that in previous elections where Republican's won, but it was never anything like this.

[YoshidaYui]

16. Republicans

Stopped caring after Trump lead the way?

[11 Bravo]

17. Several such moments have come and gone. The answer was always 'NO".
