Right, and we also need to censor CNN and MSNBC for inciting violence for months last year
AND the following officials:
Rep Aynna Pressley: "There needs to be unrest in the streets".
Senator Kamala Harris: "Protestors should not let up."
Rep. Maxine Waters: And I want to tell you, for these members of his Cabinet who remain and try to defend him, they're not going to be able to go to a restaurant, to be able to stop at a gas station, to be able to shop at a department store."
Speaker Nancy Pelosi: "I just don't know why there aren't uprisings all over the country. Maybe there will be."
That's what has made (up to this point) the modern Republican party so successful at political strategy but that success has been detrimental to the country as a whole.
Exactly. America was founded on the "Big Tent" principle. "From Many One" (E Plurebus Unum). "We The People", etc.
Democrats have nurtured the Big Tent principle of many diverse opinions in open forum as per the Athenium Democratic model.
Republicans or the party of one man, Donald John Trump and woe to anyone who does not smartly salute and instantly carry out his desires.
That's what has made (up to this point) the modern Republican party so successful at political strategy but that success has been detrimental to the country as a whole.
It's the democrats who are being divisive. There are many examples out there to back up that claim For example, see post #32.
Gf put one of their shows on the other day. Tucker Carlson.
Oh... my... no wonder the rights so messed up. It wasn’t news. It wasn’t facts. WAs just droning on with some whining. I couldn’t take it. Usually just see like 30 second clips. Actually having the show on was depressing.
Fox understands the difference between entertainment talk shows and news.
The left doesn't. ABC/NBC/CBS are all infotainment all the time. Not much different than the late night talk show hosts.
Try listening to actual liberals instead of letting Hannity tell you what liberals believe.
There's a large divide among the left between the Bernie wing of the party and corporate Democrats, who are liberal on social issues but are Republican-lite when it comes to economic issues. Liberal blogs also aren't afraid to criticize Biden and many of them already are for various things.
No such divide exists on the right. Everyone has to fall lock step behind Donald Trump and nobody can criticize him in any way.
I would suggest you follow your own advice and listen to conservatives instead of liberals telling you about conservatives. There is nobody who looks more imbecilic than the left trying to explain the right. Even some writers who are good otherwise look like total flaming idiots when they do that.
There are so many things wrong with the headline and the opening post that I doubt the OP even read his own link.

Another illustration of how some folks must have slept through basic civics in high school - they cannot tell the difference between opinion and fact, they don't know how to find credible sources for news, they don't understand the news media and how they work.

They seem to have something to hide?
Let me help you. This is the gist of the opinion piece, written by the Post's media writer:
Quote:
No, the only answer is to speak the language that the bigwigs at Fox will understand: Ratings. Advertising dollars. Profit.
There is no mention of limiting free speech, or hiding anything.
Reading is fundamental.

I was right - you didn't read your own link:

In recent days, Fox has taken a sharp turn toward a more extreme approach as it confronts a post-Trump ratings dip — the result of some of its furthest-right viewers moving to outlets such as Newsmax and One America News and some middle-of-the-roaders apparently finding CNN or MSNBC more to their liking.
[snip]
Most notably, the network has decided to add an hour of opinion programming to its prime-time offerings. The 7 p.m. hour will no longer be nominally news but straight-up outrage production.

The entire premise for this thread is a knee-jerk emotional reaction.

The OP has never let the truth get in the way of a good rant.

The Washington Post has not advocated for the dissolution of Fox news. The article you referenced is an opinion piece by a Margaret Sullivan Known as a "Media columnist" and she is not affiliated to the Washington Post in any way.
In her article, she did not ask for the dissolution of Fox News, only pressure on the Murdochs to present more facts as news rather than opinions as news, which is exactly what you're trying to do Dashrender.
Facts like how Jacob Blake was unarmed?
