Steve Schmidt is rocking it! And this is coming from a former GOP strategist...

And has a lot to answer for. He's angry at the Dumpsters, not his own party, so fuck him.

He was instrumental in almost getting Sarah Failin' into office.

or see the 2012 film of the same name. Both quite enlightening. Woody Harrelson plays Schmidt and Julianne Moore is a TRIP as Palin.

He's more than made up for Sara Palin. And his words against FOX carry more weight than 10 Democrats saying the same thing.

We need to unite behind the truth, not political expediency.

in Rolling Stone mag. 6 months ago he said that until we can get Fux Ruse off of the TV in all the bars and other gathering places we will have a very difficult fight trying to inform the average GOP voter in the red states. Was it under Reagun that the Fux propaganda machine began? How can it be regulated, especially since it is cable and the GOP (Russia, Mercers and Kochs) are in control of everything?

Fox is part of most basic cable packages: maybe not the all news channel, but the perspective is still there.

and I don't have a TV, but FOX is the only non-Thai news offered in the package for those who do have TV. The other package available that my friends here have, offers CNN & BBC. FAUX is everywhere.

When I travel most hotels and motels only have Fox News.

but it was #metoo that put the final nail in the coffin.

it force-feeds its deadly propaganda all over the US (and world), unfettered

It wasn't needed then. They had to get rid of the "Fairness Doctrine" first in any case.

It came into existence under Clinton (just before his re-election in 1996).

If they were ever a news organization, it was in the very beginning and they stopped any real news long ago.

They gave the appearance of being one in the beginning but they dropped that during the Bush years. Still I'm glad Schmidt called them out.

He has a way with words.

He's not one of them, he's more of an old school Republican (which I disagreed with, but never loathed).

Thanks for posting this!!

Really.

He sells authoritarianism. He makes billions. Why would he ever contemplate patriotism? He has no use for patriotism. That’s not his market niche.

fox can't do shit without big brother limbaugh and sons on 1500 radio stations getting a free speech free ride from the 'intelligentsia' while it does what only it can do - reach 50 mil people a week with unchallenged repetition of lies that, unlike fox, is never fact checked or monitored.

fox is an expression of free speech because there are alternatives a click away. not so with talk radio - it dominates 40 states with 80 senators and in most of that area there are NO free easy alternatives for politics, especially

here's some simple math

at a cheap $1000/hr x 15hrs/day x 5 = $75,000/wk x 1200 stations http//:www.republiconradio.org is worth $18MIL/day or 390MIL$ /month or 4.68 BIL$/ year FREE for coordinated global warming denial, pro republican free market deregulation and wall st think tank propaganda, swiftboating of good citizens, attacks on public education and teachers, passing voter suppression legislation, trying to repeal obamacare, and the hate and fear used to get people to vote republican.


i hear it all day from hosts and guests on msnbc and it's really fucking stupid for them to constantly suggest we're in this disaster because of fox, or that's why mueller will be fired.

listen to a bit of limbaugh multiply it by 600 stations x 15 hrs a week and the fact that 300 others all follow limbaugh or they lose their jobs.

Where is the corrupt FCC on this outrageous sh't?!

Seems there must be some laws they have crossed.
It goes beyond freedom of speech and into treasonous undermining of the republic.

he DID try to foist Sarah Palin on us... While I DO appreciate his taking on Faux News, it is merely a product of what he helped to create.

You'll see that he's more than made up for that. He speaks truth and facts. And he does more now to fight Trump and his administration than many Liberal leaning pundits.

Given everything he has said about that party.

This is nothing new.

The Fox Empire Emperor (Robert Murdoch) will turn out to have no clothes on if everybody stops pretending they are a legitimate news broadcaster.

...but still has a long road ahead to make up for inflicting Sarah Palin on us.

With Chitolini in office they are basically state run propoganda and it gets more strident daily. Goebbels would be proud.

we seriously would need to install detox clinics around the country, or those poor, severely addicted souls would be jumping off cliffs. Sadly, the republican regime no longer allows for mental health assistance.

Oh, well.

I know plenty of people who would be in those detox clinics if Faux left the airwaves.

This could be a movement!

There, I corrected the Fox headline.
