because the same algorithm that's using her to spread nazi ideology among adults will also spread her losing a debate against destiny to those same adults.

Fox views Bernie as a threat to the Dems and so can relied on to not go totally hard and bad faith against him, and they didn't. It's also why Fox News is #1 in terms of time given to uncritical statements of Warren/Sanders/AOC/etc policy positions

Warren is a popular target of blind diabetic chud hate tho, there's zero chance it wouldn't be a bunch of bad faith poo poo and 9,000 loaded questions about her ancestry

Plus it's a chance for her to come out hard against one of the foundational institutions destroying this country

I mean yeah that's true but it's not like FNC is going to be allowed to fold when it's literally the chief launderer of capital's side of the culture war. Ad revenue is irrelevant to them.

if every advertiser in the whole world pulled out, there would still be a Fox News because its role is not to be a fiscally solvent cable network, it's role is to be a stochastic terrorism vector and normalizer of late capitalist talking points to the disproportionately white and old segment of the population that holds a disproportionate amount of the wealth and power in this country

if that was true they wouldn’t have given bill o the boot. Fox News, like literally every institution on the right, exists to make more and more money for its owners. radicalizing the populace is a business model. look at the nra robbing each other blind or the fact that the Wisconsin GOP has basically ceased to exist as a political force because they gave all their money to grifter consultants. the right is, if anything, even more short-sightedly venal and selfish than the dem consultant class. Capital is loyal only to itself, not its class.

the faces may change but the network will not and their mission will not. Tucker may go because they can't afford his salary anymore or whatever, but Tucker is a symptom not the problem itself

Capital is happy to prop up media enterprises that flatter and empower them, practically nothing on the right would exist, from TPUSA to Breitbart to Fox News, if there didn't exist an entire class of people with billions of dollars that these outlets spend all day flattering

im not disagreeing but the money does matter, but the business making money helps lend legitimacy to the network. it's integral to its existence.

I mean yeah I kinda get where you're coming from there, but I feel like this is an argument or concern for 10-20 years ago. poo poo's baked in now, nobody's changing sides or about to overturn their basic assumptions on what is a legitimate source or not. We've already seen they can just slot some other gormless rahowa chud in for one who is a liability and it doesn't hurt their numbers at all. Hannity could be replaced by floorshitter and it'd keep chugging along just fine as long as the central messages being relayed don't change.

it’s the most popular news and Bernie is sufficiently left, he did good at it and his message can reach the sensibilities of a lot of people. I don’t think warren would fare so well

i figure it's like the debate vs no platform argument we have in this thread from time to time - if you can go in and make yourself look good and make your enemies look bad on their own turf, that's great and you should absolutely do it. but not everybody can do that, and if you can't, or if you think there's better ways to spend your time, then the safe move is to treat them as if they're illegitimate and not worth talking to.

Yeah but no matter how much retweets you get for dunking on Brit Hume or whatever dumbass they put up there with you, you're still normalizing the cable news network beaming actual White Supremacist propaganda into a zillion nursing homes every night.

And it doesn't make a difference for their audience because they get exactly 1 hour of Bernie explaining M4A and then 23 others dedicated to telling them M4A is going to put them in a gulag and abort the grandchild they keep bothering their kids about having someday.

It's more that they're in significant financial trouble despite being so popular (because they're bad with money and offputtingly racist) and Bernie may have helped preserve (or restore) their dwindling stream of income by giving them a show with a massive audience during advertiser hunting season.
