Can we please collecitvely tell Fox News to go fuck all of the way off?

Let's think about this. Mike Johnson and the MAGAs walked out on the democrats 40 days ago like the Deltas did in that scene from Animal House. They refused EVERY offer the democrats gave them until they got exactly what they wanted. They went on Fox News every night blaming the democrats for this nightmare. Even though it's literally 100% their fault and MAGA Mike could have ended this ridiculous bullshit at any time he wanted, since MAGA controls all three branches of government. But democrats get the blame, because MAGA also controls all of the propaganda.

For 40 days we've been hearing Mike Johnson and his cronies grovel constantly, day in and day out, on Fox News about how it's the democrats' fault every single day. Mike Johnson doesn't represent the United States. He represents Fox News. He was installed in his position by News Corporation to produce slop content for Fox. And he and his cronies do exactly what his propagandist masters order him to. Sean Hannity regularly gives performance evaluations to the Fox half of Congress like he's their regional manager. He knows something about the election we don't, and he knows something about this ridiculous shut down that we don't.

Now that it looks like the world's longest temper tantrum is nearing an end with nothing really getting accomplished except bragging rights for the spoiled toddlers, Fox News is now bragging saying "DEMOCRAPS DIDN'T GET EVERYTHING THEY WANTED! HA HA!". So they'll keep moving the goal posts like the psychotic football coach's assistant. Now they'll have bait and leverage for 2026, which is exactly what they wanted. Expect the commercials to air around the clock in the new year.

Fox News is a bully organization. They thrive on hatred, fear and chaos. Rupert Murdoch makes billions from the United States being in chaos and disarray. A peaceful and prosperous United States is not in the interests of the right wing billionaires who own and are taking over our media institutions. Fox News is the reason why we can't have nice things in this country. They need to get told to fuck off.

It's in doctors offices, dentists' offices, restaurants, hospitals, airports, military bases, city halls, the list goes on. It's in all of our social media feeds like every other post. You can't even inadvertently watch it. Something's got to change here.

Someone a while back said that RT copied Fox News' business model. And just recently a faction in Japan won seats in parliament by copying Trump's policies. Hungarian and Argentinian state TV apparently also copies Fox.
