This seems like a worse own goal than “defund the police” as a slogan, best of intentions but the execution was so bad.

I’d put heavy money on Republicans running chunks of this interview hard during the run up to the midterms.

I have a sinking fear this will be one of those tragicomic moments of earnest, well intentioned progressives inadvertently helping trump, like when many sat out the 2024 election in a misguided attempt to somehow help Palestinians.

    If memory serves, it’s literally the most watched news channel in America and impressively, still watched by a swathe of independents.

    But much more importantly, the ads that Republicans will run based on the interview will go well beyond Fox news.

      No one that willingly watches that is independent. That channel is the antithesis. That said. A good message from the DSA on there going viral would stand to do a lot of damage to both Republican and Democrat parties. Though Republicans are too cocksure and drunk on their own power to perceive it that way.

        … That’s not what a monopoly is. There is competition, Fox is the most popular.

        No idea on satellite tv but you’re welcome to share some stats.

        And as you may know, news or attack ads online can feature say, an interview that was aired on Fox news without people actually having to watch Fox news. Wild eh?
