if our democracy and freedom are going to survive. Faux News needs to be charged with obstruction; Murdoch with treason; a mass boycott of Fox Media in all forms -- faux news, local Faux affiliates, tv productions, movies, etc.; find ways to overwhelm them and Murdoch with lawsuits; and yes bring back the Fairness Doctrine.

I was able to stop it at the local gym-- where it was up on the monitors next to CNN all the time.

Maybe that would help-- a little..

Everybody get ONE fox tv station taken off a doctors' wall, grocery store, restaurant, ....

between the WH/GOP and Fox on the Mueller take down I'm sure. This isn't just happening coincidentally.

If so, and if Mueller IS fired, would Fox then be potentially guilty/chargeable for an illegal act? I sure hope so ... and I hope when we regain power, we hold Fox accountable. No more high road BS that only comes back to haunt us. We wouldn't be in the dire place we now find ourselves had we held the big banks and Wall Street accountable after 2007/08. We should never make that mistake again.

Can't Faux be sued for lying???

Why is it that they can get away with this? They are presenting this as news, and news is supposed to be true.

I guess it wasn't the SCOTUS unless I'm missing it somewhere

Snopes also said it wasn't SCOTUS. So why does Fox get away with so many lies? Here all this time I thought they were allowed.
