You must have a “local” Sinclair-owned station I’m guessing.

If you were to block Fox you should also block other more extreme channels like Newsmax and OANN.

That’s smart! Take advantage of the fact that cable keeps getting more and more expensive and urge them to cancel it. No need to sneak and block Fox News this way.

First of all the first term wasn’t fine. Some of Trump’s “accomplishments” include raising the national debt significantly despite being part of a party that constantly claims they will deal with it, and poor actions which results in many deaths in the US during the pandemic. He also had secret conversations with Putin and may have transferred our secrets to Russia. Also he told the big lie and supported storming the capitol during J6.
Here’s a non inclusive list of some the scandals during Trump’s first term: msnbc.com/…/antisemitism-alphabetical-guide-trump…
The only reason his first term wasn’t even worse was because people stopped him. Now there are going to be less people to stop him. That’s why we must stay strong and vigilant and work towards getting as many Democrats elected locally in 2025 and nationally in 2026.

I totally get what you mean. If we can educate people it would be more powerful than just blocking it. But for some people maybe it’s hard to educate them. It’s for sure a complex issue.

This is fascinating to me because it might be evidence that China is promoting right wing content to undermine America. I’ve never used to WeChat before but I know the app has a “news” feature. Is WeChat linking to external domains/IP addresses? I’m curious what kind of right wing propaganda are they seeing? Who is making it? Is it in English or Chinese or a combination?
If you cannot deal with the problem by network filtering and blocking these strategies might be helpful: old.reddit.com/r/QAnonCasualties/…/good_posts

Nothing wrong with doing both. I fully support using a Pi-Hole to block right wing misinformation/disinformation if the situation is appropriate.
I should also mention in reality this is just a shitpost. In real life there is more nuance to these decisions. I have read stories about people who’s parents have been basically “gone” because of Fox News and other right wing disinformation sources and after blocking it they get their parents back usually within 6 months to a year. But it could also result in back lash. It all depends on the situation. I do feel strongly that Fox News should be blocked in hospitals and nursing homes (especially memory units) because it stresses out the patients and some of the content they ruin is directly contrary to a hospital’s mission.

The concerns are true but if people leave Twitter for Bluesky it’s still an improvement because Elon uses the algorithm to boost far-right content and he has your data.

Yes, it’s better to move forward a little than to go backwards. When you move forward you can keep moving forward more later. If you move backwards you have to fight for what you lost before you can get more back.

I kind of see your point there. My hope though is that maybe people could gain more empathy for each other by understanding that we are all human and I hope that one day people can understand each other’s struggles.
