I no joke have the exact same first and last name of a member of Congress. I've thought about what nefarious poo poo I can get away with by utilizing it, but he's a democrat and he seems pretty cool so I don't wanna find out.

Wait until he dies and then relive that Eddie Murphy movie that nobody likes.

Be careful what you wish for. It's replacement will be Breitbart or Stormfront.

Stormfront is old hat, and sites like Breitbart have already replaced them in younger demographics. That's kind of their entire problem.

I'm not sure that it matters. Hate to break us out of our spiral of despair, but Fox's power is because it built it up over decades. Breitbart or Stormfront picking up the dregs wouldn't remotely be as dangerous as Fox is.

Like any successful far right wing new network pretty clearly will rely on not only preempting any vanguard website movement, but coopting the ones that slip through their fingers, and possibly even sabotaging ones that want to stay independent.

Although Im not sure radio talk shows are long for this world either.

Quist isn't really a weak candidate. He's pretty much a dream candidate here. Local, progressive, gun supporter, every person in the state has personally met him or knows someone who has because he's performed at every State Fair.

I'll defer to people who have paid more attention. The stuff I've read is that he's got no political experience or resume and troubling tax stuff, and he kind of got up on his name and we'll traveled career and campaigning. That last part obviously is good for a candidate (and good ideas are of course good as much as they mean anything without any kind of resume that they're more than words) but that earlier stuff seemed to be a bit of an unnecessary handicap that the Dems should be able to build on.

Hell, Quist could run in 2018 but with a year of focused political advocacy and be a better candidate.

But I admit I've only paid passing attention to this race so apologize if I have him all wrong.

Turns out, conservatives also like sipping lattes and generally living in ivory towers. So instead they needed something else to feel superior about.

Honestly, what can Fox even do to get themselves out of their death spiral? Their demo is 70+ and dying off by the day and young people don't give a gently caress about cable news. And of those that do they want to see coverage of the Trump dumpsterfire which Fox is absolutely forbidden from covering. Not to mention how they alienated their most promising talent in Kelly forcing her off the station. And their staples like O'Riley and Hannity are either gone or on the way out. They were all excited to spend the next 4 years bashing Hillary every hour of every day and had literally no fallback plan.

God I want this loving network to die a miserable death.

The blueprint for remaking Fox is already on 4chan and reddit. There's an entire generation of young people who are just as dumb as their grandparents. Possibly dumber, as their grandparents didn't have misogynist video games.

Fine. How about an InfoWars or ZeroHedge tv network? I guess what I'm saying is that there will always be a market for conservative shitheads. Someone will fill that vacuum. :v:

oh hippies, as in low income earners who believe in a lot of the liberal rhetoric, usually are associated with lentils. Like watch the Young Ones (old English comdey) and the character Neil, that's a Liberal. He loves his lentils, because they're cheap (good for poors), vegetable (no animal is suffering under the human oppression to feed you) and tasty (no they're not but what do you know of the world)

Actually, yeah. That's a good point. Cable is dying after all. There isn't money in having an actual news site with real journalists appealing to these people. Fox barely has any foreign corespondents as it is.
