A new Quinnipiac University poll finds that two-thirds of Americans — including 2 in 5 Republicans — think that Fox News should be held accountable for its election lies.

2. agree

[OAITW r.2.0]

3. Those 2 in 5 Republicans ought to start voting Democrat if they really want to see Fox held accounta

for supporting an insurrection against our Democracy. Otherwise, their concerns are meaningless. Their Party won't ever hold Fox accountable.

12. They're probably the ones switching to OAN etc

They think Fox isn’t right-wing enough

5. Removing them from the airwaves would be a good start...

14. Faux isn't on the airwaves,

they're on cable, of which the FCC has zero content authority over, they don't even need a license to operate as cable is privately owned, the govt can't remove them.

[Mr.Bill]

6. Outside of not watching them,

what way does anyone have of holding Fox News accountable?

[genxlib]

11. A couple of billion to Dominion for starters

And then any number of other companies and individuals that have been slandered.

13. canceling cable

they don't get any $ from ads, it's from cable subscriber fees

7. How many people died?

If i was a family member of someone who died from covid, I would seriously consider suing them over disinformation. These people believed their lies.

8. All we need is a bill that allows subscribers to not pay for what they don't want.

If you don't have to pay for fox news, or golf, or whatever, Fox will be down to only getting money from ads and the fans willing to pay for it. Suddenly over half their money would be gone forever.

It is an all or none subscription policy that gives Fox the majority of their income.

With a bill that protects consumer rights, Fox either has to be free to stay bundled or be treated like a premium channel. It isn't impossible or hard to do, there are a lot of subscription based channels. There are a lot that make their money entirely by ads. Make Fox one of them. Make any channel that wants to charge, a la carte.

9. so more than half of the repugs polled think Fux should just go on lying.

[AZSunDevil]

10. Lies

They lie lie lie and nothing happens. Anybody can lie

15. What does "held accountable" mean?
