The Murdoch family's Fox "News" did its best to foment national fear and loathing with its dangerously bogus claim that the car explosion at Niagara Falls was terrorism.

It's a reminder that Murdoch and his underlings relentlessly inject poison into our civic bloodstream, for profit and power.

If you subscribe to cable/satellite TV or a digital equivalent, you are sending them money every month.

Please stop. Please cancel. Do not support this evil company.

@dangillmor Fox News was why I cancelled YouTube TV. How tf did we kill cable and still not get ala carte channel selection? Fuck this timeline...

@firewyre @dangillmor
What if time travelers already came back to fix things and this is the better timeline?

@firewyre @godzero @dangillmor
Better for whom? People that survived to see the future? 🤔😅

@dangillmor Life is immensely better after dropping cable and switching to a Roku (or a FireTV stick.) Add in the Web Video Cast app (from InstantBits) and your viewing needs should be satisfied.

@adirtyhippie @dangillmor
I just wish wouldn't promote "redpill" conspiracy channels as Educational TV. (Burrow has changed its name to TruthTide, but it's still at the top of Roku's recommendation list).

@dangillmor Also if you use Tubi you're financially contributing from something I was told earlier this year. At a investor call or something it was explicitly mentioned how that was helping keep Fox News afloat. I don't know how much truth there is in that but it might be worth looking into.

@dangillmor
Severing cable means severing the only Left leaning broadcast as well, MSNBC, the only anti-fascist channel out there, since CNN is merely FOX Lite now and the other news outlets are mainly "celebrity TV" and "mass murder" coverage. One can still turn to the BBC I suppose, but there's nothing else out there to stream, and MSNBC the next day seems somewhat empty. I'd love to get rid of all stomach-turning religious programming, too, like Eternal World Television Network and 700 Club.

@dangillmor
An $800 million "Fox News Are Lying To Viewers" lawsuit wasn't enough evidence for the regular #Republicans to stop watching, then there isn't much we can do. I suppose pointing out they lie help somewhat but still.

@dangillmor They undoubtedly had a field day with the protesters at the Macy's parade.

AND the rioting in Dublin.

They probably blamed both on Biden.

@dangillmor I cancelled everything 6 years ago, fuck billionaires & fuck capitalism...

@dangillmor Really need to remind others of their various international bullshit machines, Sky News Australia in particular. Unrelated to other Sky Newses, it's a full on rampaging FNC-grade insanity firehose of misinformation and rightist opinion posing as fact.
