Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yeah, good luck with that.
Once you radicalize someone, it's not always so easy to bring them back. They can just migrate to even more hardcore Russian propaganda outlets.
It's true. Time and time again these fools are radicalizing their base, and then when it gets out of hand they can't rein it in and it bites them.
Fox and a handful of right-wing politicians made radicalizing into a profitable business that's not regulated and freely available to anyone with no scruples and an imagination.
Let's not forget social media companies and their algorithms that take advantage of human psychology to drive profits. Not helping.
As MrFunnyMoustache@lemmy.ml pointed out, Tucker leaving Fox has done wonders for Fox, but ended up creating that more hardcore Russian propaganda outlet you are talking about. I mean, an interview with Putin, how much more Russian propaganda can it get?
RT?
I was thinking more OAN, but yeah, that's probably its final form.
The people that far gone started pissing on Fox News the day they said Biden won the election. Maybe even a little before that.
I get the distinct impression Fox thinks it can pivot to a different set of subscribers as its armchair-bound geriatric viewers die of Covid and old age.
Maybe. We'll have to see if this is a one time thing where the anchor is going to get yelled at and never done again, or if it flags a new editorial direction.
