    As compared to what? What did the left do that was different? Change the channel, don't watch a show, don't watch a movie, it's a free country. No one shoved anything down anyone's throat.

    Exactly. Fox per Murdoch and Ailes simply catered to a demographic that already existed but wasn’t being served. It crammed no programming down anyone’s throat that didn’t want to to watch it. The left is simply upset that they lost their monopoly on news and opinion and can no longer command us to view their preferred outlets. Now they use MBFC and other big tech social media gate keepers to limit the impact of alternative media, particularly on line.

    Where as the left MADE people watch? Stop......just stop.
    To clarify the point. "a demographic that existed but wasn't being served" is the real problem. Remember when news was just news? When did that change? WITH FOX NEWS!!!
    Ailes made a deliberate attempt (have to give it to him, it was brilliant) to slant the news the way HE wanted it. Truth didn't matter. Opinion mattered.

    And the groundwork was set during the Nixon administration!........They needed a rich guy that could afford to lose money and take a chance....Hence, Fox news....Fox lost money for the first 10 years of existence....

    Your cartoon contained this FALSEHOOD!

    "...there are hundreds of millions of us..."

    WRONG!

    There is a SHRINKING demographic of AGING Boomers who are reaching their Sell By dates who feel that way.

    The Gallup data establishes that majorities of BOTH the Millennials and Gen Z do NOT support any of the claptrap in your OP cartoon. The FACTS prove the exact OPPOSITE where 15.9% of Gen Z self identify as being LBGTQ.

    https://www.statista.com/statistics/797321/us-population-by-generation/

    Not ALL Boomers are racists and/or homophobes. There are already several million FEWER Boomers than Millennials and by 2022 and 2024 there will be even LESS than there are now.

    So your Appeal to Popularity Logical Fallacy COLLAPSES when the FACTS are examined.

    Sad!

    I still can't believe it. Your mind doesn't have to be in the gutter to see it. To have it shoved down your throat maybe, but not to see it.

    Okay, I couldn't help myself there. My apologies. Lol. Seriously though...

    What happened to the RIGHT of women to DEFEND themselves against the HARM caused by the fetus?

    What kind of halfassed "morality" gives SPECIAL rights to a fetus while DENYING the rights of women?

    God values the woman more than the unborn. It's biblical. Don't have the chapter and verse but it's there

    You do NOT need to apologize for having a sense of humor.

    You put a smile on my face and laughter is good medicine.

    Ideological fanaticism ultimately becomes its own antidote.

    When will all of the shrill nonsense stop? Perhaps when people are bored enough.

    ". . . . The unceasing torrent of political proclamations from people whose politics are not germane to their vocations raises a question. Why do people who have nothing intelligent to say insist on proving this? The urgent question, however, is whether the ideologies of the speakers, and the sensitivities of their anticipated auditors, have produced a new etiquette: Politeness is understood as genuflection at approved political altars. Today, verifiable truth is just one option among many, with a standing inferior to any ideological agenda that the truth inconveniences. . . .

    In 1982, the sociologist and philosopher Robert Nisbet wrote:

    “Many an evil dogma, doctrine, or other intellectual continuity has in the end been undone, not by assault, but by boredom on the part of its victims. A secret weapon against the Soviet Union and the Marx-Leninist creed is the stupefying boredom that this creed induces in the minds of the second and third generations brought up under it.”
    Because today’s dogmas are amplified by ubiquitous media, their life spans from birth to boring can perhaps be compressed into a few years rather than generations. Tedium is the result when the nation is hectored by shrill claims that something (formerly, capitalism and the class struggle; today, “systemic racism”) explains why everything is dreadful. The bores, tuned out by their intended audience, might become akin to audible wallpaper — there, but no longer noticed. Bores will, however, always have the consolation of tenure."

    I've always liked George Will. He's the last intellectual standing on the right. Good column, and I agree with him.

    Not sure what your intent is, but Will's words do speak to the OP. Will implies the left, but the right is no better. Today, it's worse.

    oh no, someone that advertised they sold those things was not allowed to discriminate

    next people will support white people refusing to sell gas or rent to black people

    it's simple, if one can't sell those things without discriminating... don't sell them

    You mean the special right to simply live and not be exterminated?

    The news had a liberal bias long before Fox News came along. We only had Rush Limbaugh until Fox became reality.

    How did it have a liberal bias. Give an example.
