No, I think he has them memorized by now.
Messaging Fox news as we speak. Thanks for the confirmation
It was a David and Goliath thing. I liked when Hannity played the early evening pre-results commentary from the mainstream shows. Landslides for Hillary, so many paths for her to win.
It shows that they are STUPID as well. You don’t have to be smart if you cheat. And they believed their own lying press!!! It’s funny!
And now we need to counteract them. If RICO laws were really broken by any media company, yes, we need to have them investigated.
But what I like better, because I revere the constitution, is to counteract them with HONEST alternatives. I’d put Julian Assange and Sean Hannity in charge of my dream network. Tv is still very popular, so we’d need a tv channel. And lots of online presence. Interactive with lively message exchange like Reddit, etc.
I’d like to allow lousy rotten royal propaganda like now exists. Freedom of the press. But I’d like to show it up for the lousy rotten kiss ass propaganda it is, by having a great, strong, tech savvy channel of truth to contrast it with.
Honestly, with the first amendment, the networks currently have a right to be abject knob slobberers. Just like the KKK is allowed to exist. It’s a free country.
But we need to create a different yet appealing network focused on truth and real investigating. We need people to SEE and CHOOSE a great network that actually tells them something true, and doesn’t just kiss up to power. Is it possible? I believe it could be.

I agree, they can abuse the First Amendment and we have to be careful how we approach it. I guess it will just depend on how bad the corruption and collusion is. We could break up the very few corporations that own 90%+ of all the media in this country. That would put the flow of news information in more peoples hands and more competitive than what we have now with the very few that control the flow of news information.
I also agree with you about letting the free market decide who Americans want to get their news from. This is going to be a huge undertaking at the local levels to get more fair and balanced news. With how bad the corporate media exposed themselves at all levels, I believe there is an opportunity though. We all need to continue to work to expose the corrupt media in the mean time.

Completely agree with you. If we could nail the news conglomerates on some anti trust law or monopoly, we should. But also provide a clear alternative that is actually fun and passionate.
