1. The right wing would collapse into a watery jello.

I like it!

[sharedvalues]

16. He'd need to buy rightwing-radio too. But they'd be even cheaper

[JHB]

19. No, they have other outlets...

RW talk radio, evangelical Christian stations, cable networks, etc.

Conservatives have a long habit of pouring money into media that supports them, liberals and centrists don't. And the C's are already used to feeling under siege... they've nursed that bitterness for decades.

They won't just collapse. They need to be politically torn apart. Find wedges and hammer them, dig up their dirty secrets and figure out how to best use them for maximum effect.

It ain't nice, but they haven't been nice for decades, and wishing they were has given them the space to get ever worse.

2. Crazy for Seth

DVR every night to watch during morning coffee along with Colbert. Just watch the show beginnings unless there is a guest I want to see (rarely,)

A good way to start the day before dipping into the latest crap headlines.

[fierywoman]

3. And then he could buy Twitter and extinguish Twitler's account.

[watoos]

4. Bezos and Steyer should get together

and start up a real progressive cable news network to compete with the 3 right wing cable news networks we have now. It would blow Fox, CNN, and MSNBC out of the water.

[quakerboy]

6. Why would Bezos do that?

That would go entirely against his interests.

[Kurt V.]

12. +1

[Hassin Bin Sober]

24. Yep. Trimp and hannity aside, Fox News works out swimmingly for Bezos

[mitch96]

29. Catch and kill???? nt

[Duppers]

5. Murdoch would just take the money and start another

Faux Channel.

[lark]

27. Still, right now it's 1 to 1

1 Repug channel - Faux
1 sometimes liberal channel - MSNBC

If Bezos bought Faux and Murdoch started Faux #2, we'd still be way ahead and 2 to 1.

[ProfessorGAC]

28. Doubt It

Not that Bezos is going to do any such thing, but he's smart enough to add a 10 year no-compete clause.

[Duppers]

30. Indeedy.

He would. Thanks.

[mia]

7. While he's at it....

he could buy the Sinclair Broadcast Group and Clear Channel to stop all of the right-wing hate radio programs.

[pangaia]

8. Lost my bourbon on my new $13 keyboard.

[GulfCoast66]

10. Screw the keyboard!! Think of the bourbon!!

Hopefully a cheap brand! If you tell me you spit out Makers I will mourn.

[pangaia]

11. MAKER'S?? No way..

Elijah Craig Small Batch 1789 !!

Last month it was BULLEIT..

[GulfCoast66]

21. I'm partial to wheated bourbon.

But what you spit on the keyboard is a good choice. And may have been worth more than the keyboard!

[pangaia]

22. Ha ha !!

It was the end of the Elijah Craig.
😂

[GulfCoast66]

23. I'm saving a bottle of Wellers 12 year old.

To celebrate the election of the next Democratic President.

[stonecutter357]

26. I'm saving a bottle of Blanton's Bourbon .

[Perseus]

9. Just the though of Hannity being fired...

Please Mr. Bezos, buy it!

[USALiberal]

13. Another "FOX" would pop up immediately. There is a market for right wing idiots. nt

[House of Roberts]

15. Yah, but that market is dying off.

They're losing them faster than they can corrupt new ones. No good businessman would take it on now. Why do you think Clear Channel was bought by Bain Capital? For the purpose of looting it until it dies in massive debt. It isn't worth the sum of its parts now.

[Traildogbob]

17. Dropping

After the tax fraud blows up in their faces, as is becoming very clear it will, they will be dropping faster than Lindsay Graham at a truck stop.

[quakerboy]

18. Naw, no need.

If Bezos bought Fox, they would pretty much stay the same, except turn on Trump. Aint a mouthpiece on there, except maybe Hannity, who wouldnt go along for a small pay bump.

[UpInArms]

25. Megan Kelly

Sucked ... was never able to get past her right wing fucknuttery

[Locrian]

14. heads would explode!

[summer_in_TX]

20. That vast right-wing conspiracy is all-too real.

The super wealthy funders of the whole right wing propaganda system won't let it be taken apart, unfortunately, since they've worked so hard to get it to where they are now. I wish we could break it up, but think it'll take a lot more than Bezos to even begin to get a handle on the issue.

Documentaries, congressional testimony, academic research on history and impact on society, blue-ribbon commission, indictments, new laws, an end to Citizens United, major organizing, mass protests…wish we had the luxury of focusing on the issue of systemic propaganda and the ways consent is manufactured in the U.S.

In a perfect world, the Mueller investigation would reveal a lot of the threads.

[aidbo]

31. Bezos, the richest man in the world, already owns a newspaper.

I do not think he should own a cable news channel as well.

[Gothmog]

32. AMI may have broken the law

33. Fox News would be mucho expensive. Does Bezos have that kind of money not tied up?

That would be expensive, even for Bezos. I'm guessing, just a guess, that Fox News could go for maybe $50 Billion? $40 Billion? More?

Bezos is worth maybe $112B, I read. But much of that would be assets that are not cash. And that's not profit from income less expenses.
