zero Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 here we go...we knew this was coming: Scoop: Trump eyes digital media empire to take on Fox News https://www.axios.com/trump-fox-news-digital-media-competitor-25afddee-144d-4820-8ed4-9eb0ffa42420.html Quote President Trump has told friends he wants to start a digital media company to clobber Fox News and undermine the conservative-friendly network, sources tell Axios. "He plans to wreck Fox. No doubt about it," said a source with detailed knowledge of Trump's intentions Here's Trump's plan, according to the source: There's been lots of speculation about Trump starting a cable channel. But getting carried on cable systems would be expensive and time-consuming. Instead, Trump is considering a digital media channel that would stream online, which would be cheaper and quicker to start. Trump's digital offering would likely charge a monthly fee to MAGA fans. Many are Fox News viewers, and he'd aim to replace the network — and the $5.99-a-month Fox Nation streaming service, which has an 85% conversion rate from free trials to paid subscribers — as their top destination. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaderpansen Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 that could actually be good news, non? the more segregated the echo chamber is from mainstream media, the less likely moderate rep voters will be entangled in it. on the other hand there's no bounds to extremism, but arguably most lines have been crossed already anyway. hm...

I just wish mainstream media would follow suit and stop giving him non-stop coverage once he's out of office. no doubt it will take awhile to shake their trump addiction. if he's relegated to the corners of the internet where Breitbart, Limbaugh, Alex Jones, etc. live, then maybe he'll eventually fade away in a wash of far right crazies. it would also be up to the GOP to cut ties with him, and force him to go on the attack against them. reminds me of the ending of Terminator 2. donnie's like the T-1000 lashing out at everyone, while the rest of us are Linda Hamilton waiting to confirm he's finally gone... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brisbot Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 (edited) Random question, but is there some video or article that does goes into depth on the similarities and differences of Trump vs Hitler or any prominent authoritarian? 1 hour ago, kieselguhr kid said: being the strategic business genius he is, this will surely play out well Ah. So that's why he suddenly hates Fox and told his fans to start hating fox. I wonder if Fox had remained 100% loyal to him, if he would have suddenly found a major reason to hate Fox because of his new indoctrination channel.

sweepstakes Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I think one of the big psychological tethers for conservative voters is authority, so having a fissure between the fairly stable and seemingly-authoritative Fox vs. Donnie's Discount Propaganda Emporium is gonna fuck with a lot of people's heads. The lack of solidarity is going to be interesting to watch play out for the solidarity party. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ignatius Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 there's a lot of things printed over the years. this guy spells it out pretty well. https://ommalloy.medium.com/why-trumps-base-is-a-brainwashed-cult-and-how-to-break-the-spell-765866991081 also, there's a doc about th erise of hitler and history of the time preceding when he assumed power that's pretty fascinating about how it all went down. very trumpian like vibes. here's episode one- rise of the nazis - goes into the politics and personalities leading up to it. hitler was on the way out when he got an olive branch from someone else trying to get back in power. but hitler and trump literally said all the same shit. https://www.pbs.org/video/episode-1-politics-6y6ygy/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
