Would you be willing to switch from your current cable provider to @YouTubeTV or another streaming service if it took Fox News out of its basic package, only including it as an optional add-on?
Fox played a major role in inspiring the 1/6 MAGA capitol insurrection.

"In the two weeks after Fox News called the election for Biden, the network’s hosts and guests cast doubt on the results at least 774 times."

Must-read piece here by @ErikWemple. 🔽

We should call on @Youtubetv, @hulu, @GetSpectrum, @Uverse and other cable and streaming services to stop the injection of poison into our democracy. Allow Americans to choose to exclude Fox from their service.
Look at how Fox News have repeatedly lied about the election being stolen.

They convinced TENS OF MILLIONS their election was stolen.

This is the kind of poison these streaming and cable companies are forcing us all to pay for.

It is a provable fact that Fox News disinformation was a major contributing factor to the insurrection of Jan 6.

Congress should immediately draft legislation holding media companies responsible for deliberate lies.

This is probably their last chance to do so with a D majority.
A Truth Matters act could force companies like Fox News to retract misinformation in a meaningful way - or else lose their broadcast license.

This would *not* be like the Fairness Doctrine.

For example it wouldn't require Maddow to spend half her time promoting R politics.
A Truth Matters act would be simply about promoting truth and refuting lies.

Lies should not be piped into tens of millions of homes.

Most Americans are not equipped to filter it.

❗️ Ali Alexander, a RW activist, says it was he and 3 congressmen who created the plot to interrupt Congress's certification of Biden's win:🔽

- Mo Brooks
- Paul Gosar
- Andy Biggs

washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/01…
He had said in a Periscope video: "We four schemed up of putting maximum pressure on Congress while they were voting."
He has since been suspended from Twitter, but Gosar tagged him in several tweets (his twitter handle was @ali) ImageImage

612 hours.

36,720 minutes.

2.2 million seconds.
Another way of thinking about the time left until #PresidentBiden:

4 years = 48 months.
1 day = 48 half hours.

Therefore, each month is like a half hour.

If Trump's presidency was a single day that started at midnight, it would be about 11:35 pm right now.
Taking it a step further:

One month = ~30 days.
Half hour = 30 minutes.

Each day brings us one minute closer to midnight

This is the story. The lies perpetuated by Fox, Newsmax, and OAN are the foundations of the worst crises in our country.

This should always be the story. Every day. Democracy cannot stand with an ignorant citizenry.
Fox has stoked racism and other divisions. Fox tells its viewers that Democrats are their enemies. Fox lied about the coronavirus. And without Fox News, Trump would have been removed from office long ago.
Without Fox News (and Newsmax, OAN, etc), a large majority of the country would have been horrified that 120+ Republicans tried to overturn a fair election.

But instead all of Fox's audience is laser-focused on Hunter Biden's finances.

🚨 Andrew Weissmann lists the criminal statutes that Trump may have broken when he pressured state officials to overturn the election.

Election Interference Statutes
- 18 USC 241: Conspiracy against rights
- 18 USC 242: Deprivation of rights under color of law

- Wire fraud
Here is the DOJ's information on 18 USC 241. It carries some serious jail time and does NOT require an overt act to be committed.
And here is 18 USC 242. It can carry a life sentence.

Here's a video clip from the protest outside Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's house in Detroit tonight.
I swiped the video off one of the protestor's Facebook posts. They're yelling, "Stop the Steal!" into megaphones and calling her a felon(?) They're clearly living in an alternate reality.
"She's a Democrat. She's a Dem-o-Rat. She's decided to completely ignore all the credible, credible, fraudulent evidence that's been continually presented and pointed out!"

She's says, "It's about our Soveren-Tree" (?)
