The damage that the likes of Limbaugh, Hannity, and others in the right wing media have done to this nation
is incredible.
I think it's time to make their lives miserable.
How can we do it?

There is no way that show turns a profit on gold coins and
other crap that gets advertised.

(52,183 posts)first amendment limits government action, but there are plenty of things that might help that don't involve the government shutting them down.
libel laws don't only deter us if we were to damage them through lies.
plenty of things we might do that help that don't involve lies. and don't directly damage them, either, for that matter.
the real problem is that we need a better organization of rational, reasonable people that can be organized and determined to keep our government and society reasonable and rational -- to compete with the organization the right-wing hase that's determined to keep it unreasonable and irrational.

Let's get them known and labeled as purveyors of fake news and conspiracy theories.
If you see something forwarded on another site, just don't let it sit there, report it, make it known it's fake news
Two letters "B and S". These fake news and Republican conspiracy theorists are counting on us to just walk away, they want people to be silent in the face of the nonsense. Never stop calling it all BS.

If they boot all the free media out and it's only FOX "News", "Frightfart" and other white-wing idiots left, it will stink to high heaven. The bubble heads will think it's utopia at first. Bubbleland for everyone! But that will expose them for what they are and drive more people away.
