Well worth the shit and effort to take them off the air, if ya win, for their pandemic coverage and as a public health menace. According to this it would be a wise move, kill AM hate radio while you are at it, assign the band to digital.
Could this be hope for America and a clue as to the way forward? Others will be looking at this and thinking. What would the political effects of taking foxnews out after a year? How many votes would the democrats lose vs how many would they gain?

Study finds changes in attitudes, policy preferences about Covid-19, then president Donald Trump
Fox News viewers who were paid to watch
CNN for 30 days eventually became more skeptical and less likely to buy into fake news, according to a new study.
The study titled “The manifold effects of partisan media on viewers’ beliefs and attitudes: A field experiment with Fox News viewers” by David E Brockman and Joshua L Kalla was conducted in September 2020 and published last week.
“Of 763 qualifying participants, we then randomised 40 per cent to treatment group. To change the slant of their media diet, we offered treatment group participants $15 per hour to watch 7 hours of CNN per week, during Sept. 2020, prioritising the hours at which participants indicated they typically watched Fox News,” the study said.
The study found changes in attitudes and policy preferences about
Covid-19, evaluations of then president
Donald Trump and Republican candidates as well as elected officials.
“Despite regular Fox viewers being largely strong partisans, we found manifold effects of changing the slant of their media diets on their factual beliefs, attitudes, perceptions of issues’ importance, and overall political views,” the authors of the study said.
