In current times tighter government regulation (r.i.p. fairness doctrine) probably won’t be the vehicle that alters our sorry media environment. But collective consumer action could. The far right punditry that has masqueraded and been swallowed as news relies significantly on revenue streams from tv/cable bundling.

Just do the popular vote math from last two elections (and more) and then realize that millions of Biden/Harris voters (and H Clinton and Gore) are paying for Tucker’s and Hannity’s nightly rants. Indeed, as the say, a ‘socialist’ takeover that’s destroying America. But they are the ones on the dole, and you and I are unwittingly paying for them.
We won’t change the climate until we have some influence on the information that people receive. And we can start a change by dropping Xfinity, Comcast, Sling, Philo, etc or any bundle that sends some of our monthly fee to these disinformation sources.
I dropped cable about 3 yrs ago and now pay for what I want: Hulu, Britbox, PBS, etc. I don't quite understand Roku type services. But I'm a happy camper!

Thank you. Done. I did it a while ago. I use Roku, and only get what I want to support.
