It's kind of Orwellian for the "Media and Democracy Project" to be a group for advicating shutting down television stations who say things they don't like.

- BitwiseFool 3y agoI've always found it amazing how advocacy groups like MAD pop into existence and they're already extremely organized, well prepared, and well funded. Is there some cottage industry for spinning up groups like this?
- mcphage 3y agoMake some noise online about starting one, see if you someone offers you some money to fund it. (I mean yes, there's very clearly someone propping up these organizations, but I have no idea how to get their attention).
- threeseed 3y agoIt's different when you say things in furtherance of a crime. Jan 6 was illegal. And Fox News did air content and take actions that went beyond just covering the events. Even their behaviour with Dominion and Smartmatic should be enough to question if they are fit to hold a TV license.
- brnt 3y agoWhat's Orwellian is people enabling systematic attackers on democracy by reducing the critism to a caricature, creating the most thinnest of veils of freedom of speech.

- genjii931 3y agoIt would be Orwellian if that's what was going on, but it's clearly not. It's obviously NOT a matter of “not liking” what FOX News says, but that FOX has been proven to be knowingly spreading lies that are actively harmful to this country. That's quite a leap you made there.
