You know propaganda has been effective when its intended victim does not know that they were a victim. If it’s on television via any news source, it is propaganda.
I really question how much overlap there is in the Venn diagram of “people who pay for television”, “people who hate Fox News”, and “users of Lemmy”. I can’t imagine it is very big.
Users of Lemmy is a subset of people who hate Fox News
No one has to subscribe to cable television, FYI.
In few years watching Fox is a civic duty and participation will be tracked. Non-compliers will be made in to a cheap labor force in reeducation camps.

You should read about the Rupert Murdoch inheritance case. He lost, and it may end up being the most impactful thing in media for a long time.
He still has to die first.
What’s the over under on ol’ Rupert getting to it before anyone else can?
Pretty high on Rupert, he’s 93 he’s had at least one stroke already and the wiki picture from 2012 already has him looking one foot in the grave and he broke his back in a fall a year ago.
All good things.
Hopefully we’ll get some good souls who figure out how to block Fox into the background while you still get Trump Social Media Credits™️ for watching while doing other things.

The link to the alternatives doesn’t work. So maybe you can’t anymore?
I’m really tired of the “protect our democracy” shtick. On the one hand, it’s hypocritical to “protect democracy” from people voting wrong. Secondly, if democracy is going to be perpetually on life support, it’s defenders can only hope for survival and abandon fantasies of a democracy that grows or thrives.
