In reply to the discussion: FCC is launching process to strip FOX News in Philly of its broadcasting license for pushing big lie [View all]PatrickforB
(14,948 posts)57. And yet, the licensed station did perpetuate the big lie.
Or at least so say the allegations.
Yes, the Occupy movement...you know, the American left really hasn't accomplished all that much since the old USSR fell. Not sure if you like such things, but I read a good book recently by an experience activist born in Appalachian Ohio who moved to and lived in Seattle during the WTO protests in '99.
In the book, he speaks of intersectional oppression theories and so on. The book made me quite uncomfortable, which is why I'm recommending it - because it smacks of truth. Much like Howard Zinn.
Anyway, the title is "Here be Monsters: How to Fight Capitalism Instead of Each Other."

I thought Fox limited their outright lying to their cable programs, which are out of reach of the FCC.

Yes, it's not a cable affiliate...and there's no specific evidence that they were spouting election denial stories.

The other thing people is ignore is: if Fox News disappeared tomorrow, the demand for a R/W "news" outlet would exist
