The government should not be able to shut down Fox News. But would I shut it down if I could? Absolutely. If I had all the money in the world and could buy Fox News, dismantle it, and sell it for parts, I would do that.

As we're seeing with Tik Tok, you should have included the option of having the non American Murdoch family have to sell Faux News to an American owner.

Certainly if Republicans in Congress/government vote for potentially shutting down Tik Tok they can't have any principled opposition to Faux News being shut down.

If I bought it, it seems like I'd get more political influence by tweaking the talking points to eventualy change how Republicans think about certain issues or new situations. If it got shut down, odds are the demand would just go to somewhere even worse.

Interesting, Murdoch actually became an American citizen 10 years before starting Faux News.

As the only way I could realistically shut down Fox News is if I had corporate power over it (the government will never do that), it might be more useful to society if I gradually moved it towards being a legitimate news outlet instead.

I don't think the State should shut it down, but if I had the money to buy it and shut it down, I would.
