   Hitting Fox in the pocketbook doesn't work if they earn more from their lies thru increased cable demand fees than they pay out to the companies they've smeared.

   The market isn't going to self-correct here. We need to find a way to actually stop the lies.

     @georgetakei It would hurt if more people were suing them. Hillary, Hunter Biden, etc.. should all have gone after Fox. They get away with these lies only because people don't want to take on them as Dominion did.

     @georgetakei For starters, this settlement with Dominion should have included a requirement for Fox to drop the word ‘News’ from their name. Then again, they could probably call themselves ‘Fox Nutsack’ and their followers wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. ?

     @georgetakei cable companies need to change Fox to a premium channel, like Showtime, etc.
     Let the idiots who want that crap pay extra so the rest of us can pull out.

     @georgetakei Fox should be required to run a truth statement at the beginning and end of every show acknowledging the lies they told. We don’t need it but the people they fooled still watch and need to hear it.

     All we need is the house and we can pass a bill where a customer is not forced to pay for a channel he does not want. Fox news, will loose almost half their income.
