I still would like to see these very wealthy people charter busses in major cities to transport millions of people to DC. I understand we can protest locally but having 5,6,10 million angry citizens occupying DC would be one hell of a message to our government.

How many busses would 2.5 million get? And that's just one person.

Assistance from some of these folks has probably helped with practical matters like transportation, I'd think.

I tweeted a couple of celebs but I'm a nobody so it's going to take a real person for it to gain any traction.

If Fox on cable didn't have a rightwing propaganda network, one of the other 3 networks would (my bet, NBC - already lusting!)

No, the Fox family of broadcasting and movies puts out a fair amount of quality programming, including "left wing sympathizer" content!

I don't see much 'guilt by association' attached here. I'm sure more people watch McFarlane's shows than watch "Fox News!" Millions more!

Fox is part of a company run by Rupert Murdoch.

Murdoch has designed Fox NC to distribute propaganda. A recent study out of Stanford (search “Bias In Cable News”) shows that Fox is propaganda - it is not taking the profit-maximizing strategy you suggest NBC might. Fox is instead choosing to forgo profit to spread right wing propaganda.

And the whole corporation is complicit. Because Rupert Murdoch controls this propaganda. He may today choose to allow Fox Entertainment to distribute some progressive friendly content. But Murdoch is truly harming America. And he could flip on the rest of Fox in an instant.

McFarlane is doing exactly the right thing. (Well except if I were him I’d require NPR to listen to lectures by Lakoff about reducing bothsidesism.) but McFarlane is right to call out Fox.

newspapers are now Murdoch mouthpieces, so he's seized enough power to veto the choice of the ruling conservative party's leaders and their policies. Major cities like Brisbane and Adelaide have a slimy Murdoch tabloid as their only daily newspaper. The rest of the media including Australia's version of NPR are too afraid to refute Murdoch's egregious distortions of the truth in his incessant scare campaigns against progressive policies.

Unfortunately, even America's public figures and progressive commentators who are critical of Fox News rarely call Murdoch out as the individual perpetrator who will continue to generate his mendacious rightwing propaganda until his dying day. Lawrence O'Donnell has my highest respect for unstinting criticism of Emperor Murdoch.

Fox Entertainment will be part of Disney soon.

A donation to the SPLC or the Florence Project would do a hell of a lot more good right now.

Too many on DU want NPR to be the Liberal Fox and anything short of that is ‘drifting right’.

Every time they have and administrative spokes person DU starts smashing them. Like it or not(and I hate it) they are government officials and it is journalists job to interview them. NPR challenges more direct lies by the than any network short of the BBC.

Lies standing and or failing to provide greater context.
They used to be awesome, but it still been 15-20 years since I could say that. Seth is just another slightly reformed libertarian moron clutching at straws out of guilt.

Have a nice evening.

Including people who can't pay for cable or listen only on radios. NPR is just about everywhere.

gets some reality based news out Now that Seth McFarlane has donated $2.5 Million $$$$$."

Will Fox fire him for his statements? Or are they locked into contracts? Yeah...probably locked into contracts.

That donation is chump change for him.

excellent reporting going on if you just exercise some judgement in choosing the media you listen to.

Helps local journalists around the country to get heard more widely.

That's a hell of a donation, and it makes a difference to all of us.
