We should not underestimate the damage caused by having a third of the country listening to propaganda and lies for hours a day. IDK how we solve this problem with our first amendment, other than universally mocking anyone who watches Fox. We have a world of facts and one of "alternate facts." - ThreadSky

Kilmeade: All these deals are going to be better

Jessica: I don't know why you think that's going to be the case. Trump says we have raw deals with Canada and Mexico. He negotiated the USMCA himself. He doesn't have a track record of doing this.

Freedom of speech relieves no-one from the responsibilities of speech, liable, slander, fraud, and negligence. It's illegal to profit from fraud, so all those people who marched last week, need to go to small claims court and sue Fox to get their cable fees back. Hit them in the money.

You are extremely confused on the law.

katpic57.bsky.social•2 days ago

This has NOTHING to do with protected 1st A rights. This is a coordinated strategic attack against our country. mho Big picture!

egrattan.bsky.social•1 day ago

It’s protected speech under 1A.

anyone looking for some insights on how to possibly change people minds... I can highly recommend this documentary which ends with some suggestions/ideas how some individuals changed points of view...

Agree

Start by shunning every single Murdoch employee. Post their names, sell them and their family nothing, turn your back to them, from Rupert down to the janitor. They know who they work for, let them eat hate. #BoycottAllFoxChannels #ShunAllFoxEmployees

There are limits to free speech. Defamation, libel, slander, threats. I don't know why deliberate misinformation can't be added to that list.

Word 💯
It just can't even when it does more harm than others

lizardky.bsky.social•1 day ago

Because the people in power shouldn't get to decide what is "disinformation" and ban it?

enriquebedlam.bsky.social•1 day ago

How true! I can't wait until the Ron DeSantis department of misinformation cracks down on all the woke fake news!

(Please let's try to keep holes in the 1A small enough to not let the worms in)

the1andonlyd-r-e.bsky.social•1 day ago

DeScamtis is destroying your state, hun. He's why your bills are thru the roof, why your home ins is so expensive, why your cops are ignorant pigs who don't know the law. Thank God he can't run again. Haven't you figured out that Repugnantcans ruin everything yet?

enriquebedlam.bsky.social•1 day ago

Do you know what ELSE they might ruin?

Your plans to make sure that misinformation holes in the 1A are only used against the people you want them to be used against. Unless you are fine giving DeSantis or the next Trump those powers.

the1andonlyd-r-e.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'm sure that argument makes sense in your head, hun, but that's the only place it does. First, I don't have any "plans." I just pointed out that speech can be limited legally. Also, it's nothing to do with like. Adjudicated liars like Faux News should be limited if not removed entirely.

the1andonlyd-r-e.bsky.social•1 day ago

At the VERY least, they should have a permanent banner on the screen saying, "We lied about voter fraud and were required to pay $787M. Take nothing we say as fact. "

lizardky.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes, it makes total sense to give the Trump administration the power to decide what people can legally say about the Trump administration's policies. That could never go wrong.

enriquebedlam.bsky.social•1 day ago

Ok. So adjudicated "Liars" like NBC, ABC, CNN and the like who have also settled defamation suits can also be removed?

I understand you struggle to think at secondary consequences of what you are advocating but please do. Laws do not have morality. They can be used for good or evil.

We already mock Fox viewers - not universally, but plenty. It just makes them more stubborn and, unfortunately, gains them sympathy from people who see it as punching down.

porkchoptbp.bsky.social•2 days ago

What's happening to Tesla should happen to Fox.

susieblacksheep.bsky.social•2 days ago

YES!!!

lmaristatter.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’ve been screaming about Fox for decades. It’s past time for Congress to take a serious look at how we interpret the First Amendment; there should be no right to propaganda. Not sure re-implementing the Fairness Doctrine would solve the problem.

kalendae-arum.bsky.social•2 days ago

Maybe google the definition of propaganda before you start wanting to ban it.

lmaristatter.bsky.social•2 days ago

Dear friend, I taught media. I know the definition of propaganda.

kalendae-arum.bsky.social•2 days ago

So you don’t think we should be able to have anti-gambling ads? Or ads against texting and driving?

Or do you only want “bad” propaganda stopped?

If so, who gets to decide what is “bad” propaganda?

kalendae-arum.bsky.social•2 days ago

And would the restrictions only apply to ads? Or would they apply to news coverage and opinion pieces as well?

And since you taught media you know the Fairness Doctrine never prevented propaganda, right?

And that it was only constitutional for application to broadcast license holders?

lmaristatter.bsky.social•2 days ago

I do indeed. But something must be done to prevent people from reporting opinion as fact.

moray76.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is why I quit talk radio after 20 years, the truth is just as dead as reason is. No amount of facts can persuade a fool, especially a fool who's in a cult.

rur2r.bsky.social•2 days ago

You have to wonder who actually tunes in, listens to this obvious infotainment nonsense, and says “yep, sounds good to me!”. We simply have to stand up an American Progressive Network (APN) and counter this on a minute-by-minute basis, 24/7.
