Jeff Bezos Should Buy Fox News, Not CNN
Please, Jeff, please!
I read that Jeff Bezos might be thinking of buying CNN. But what’s the point of that? Can he make it even more liberal?
No, it’s a much better idea for him to by Fox News and turn that into an even more left wing outlet than CNBC. Give the Squad their own talk show. Let Bernie Sanders make his own version of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Of course, if you cutting off Fox News’ 24 Seven stream of bile might be as futile as cutting off a worm’s tail. Doesn’t a new tail just grow back right away?
Maybe Fox News isn’t to blame as much as the Deplorables themselves. It’s like that old definition of God — if God exist Man would have invented him anyway.
If there never had been a Fox, yes, the rapid rise of neo-fascism in the US might have been slowed, but it probably would have happened anway.
I think, though, by postponing the inevitable collapse of democracy that Fox has wrought upon us, you might be able to buy America a littel time to sort itself out.
First step — can the electoral college and put those flyover states in their rightful place. They live in the sticks and they should rule over the sticks, not over our cosmopolitan cities and our great blue coastal states.
