... he's usually so good on delivery. Here, he is much slower. Also, he's good on screen, but doesn't appear! Maybe this is a new persona? I'm against paying FOX viewers reparations, tho... I don't think that idea will amount to much. Hopefully, the lawsuits will continue; that's the direction to take.

...that would work... it doesn't sound like a doable thing, to me. I think the best outcome would be for the entire FOX News Corp to be dismantled. However, there would be a replacement... Better to look at what led to FOX - and make changes. For example, the "Fairness Doctrine" ended in the 1980s - I think that should be brought back, in some form.

Much of the American public has been so gaslghted, a lot of people wouldn't recognize reality if it bit them in the ass.

You could have the greatest, most fair minds in charge of the new Fairness Doctrine and more than a few people would refuse to believe it and call it "fake news". Which really translates to, "I don't want to believe that, not listening, nana, nana, nana."

Broken friendships, broken families, violence - all to keep making money. Despicable.
