We all know that Fox is the culprit for disinformation and propaganda that glamourizes the stormers of the capital. Did you know that if you pay for cable tv you are directly funding Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity with your monthly subscription fees.

Advertisers have left Fox Business in droves and currently it is only getting revenue from contracted flat monthly fees of about $2.50 per subscriber per month. Fox is currently renegotiating this contract and needs to receive up to $3.50 per month to continue to exist in current format. They are actively campaigning to have their viewers call in and ask that cable renew and pay for the new contract.

Thom Hartmann and the followers, as we are true lovers of democracy, need to actively participate and show up to this debate. Please call your cable provider and ask them to not increase the share of subscription fees received by Fox and Fox Business, tell them that you don't watch it, you don't want to pay for it and that it is damaging to our nation and offensively and intentionally misguiding the limited viewers that continue to watch.

I also ask that Mr. Hartmann make a daily call to action on this and that each caller remind the listeners and that all bloggers push for this issue to be a daily topic. This is the time to act and this is when your voice can make a difference. We must be persistent and determined to preserve our democracy and combat the institutions that benefit from division and misinformation.

This topic demands the most rigorous of tree-shakings. It must be sorted - truthfully, transparently, and timely (as in now). I thank Thom for circling back to this frequently. 1/6 - "Never Forget".
