This this this.
Profiting from the lies. Saying one thing to viewers on the air, then laughing about it privately. Continuing to lie, even after having to pay out hundreds of millions for defamation, because the lies are so profitable. Only problem is the lies are a threat to democracy.
As Sabrina Haake points out and we have written about here, it is unsustainable to have 40% of the country believing the big lie that the 2020 election was stolen, for starters. Something has to be done about Fox News.
Contrary to the popular belief that Fox is a cable station therefore the FCC has no jurisdiction and there’s nothing anyone can do about it, Sabrina Haake makes the case that there are things congress and the FCC could do.
“Our democracy is in peril because of disinformation and no one is doing anything about it.” – Sabrina Haake
Could not agree more.
Please watch Sabrina Haake on the Thom Hartmann program discuss several myths about Fox News, the fairness doctrine, the first amendment and the FCC.

When the Fairness Doctrine was formulated, it applied to all American radio and TV that reported news and discussed issues of public importance. Cable and satellite TV didn’t exist. Now that cable and satellite TV is the prevalent TV in American living rooms, restore and codify the Fairness Doctrine and include cable and satellite.
