Well, yeah. You don't get to stay the top viewed "news" network if your entire viewer base can't afford cable... or electricity... anymore.

Fox will tell them that getting their Social Security cut off is "good, actually", because something about Biden and immigrants and DEI, and the viewers will nod in agreement right up until their TV turns off because the power company cut their electricity for non-payment.
The flip of that coin is: research has already shown that it only takes like a month to deprogram fox news viewers after removal. So... country wide mass deprogramming.
Fox will go whichever way the ratings lean. Trump's approval ratings are dropping, so this week they're mildly questioning his policies. Next week they could just as easily flip back around to kiss the ring again.
And in all likelihood, will.
FB friend:
This was both fascinating and infuriating to watch.
I think someone once used the meme "Make America the 1950s Again"?
Does that mean bringing back the 91% top marginal tax rate, strong labor unions, and massive government investment in infrastructure?
Clearly not, but we could make the argument that it should....
What they really mean is "Make America 1940s Germany".
Y’know, it just struck me that as we as late-capitalist societies we are learning far too slowly why the postwar consensus existed in the first place. Capitalism at all costs without social guardrails is a self destructive shitshow.
Futurists and analysts have been warning this since before the 2nd world war. Basically since the second industrial revolution when they could the continuing march of technology actually force multiplying production to the point of removing the masses from said production.
But they got to live with the GOOD portions of unfettered capitalism, when people were only just and slowly pushing the limits of the morals and ethics of it: we're at the end stage now and we can quite clearly see how it sucks, why it sucks, that it will CONTINUE TO SUCK... and that the vast majority cannot possible do anything about it other to raze it to the ground and start again because the people who could make it a smooth, easy, almost seamless transition are intent on making sure that transition never happens. Because they can't be rich, powerful and in charge if we completely change how we manage our civilization and economy.

No one seems to know where Khalil is actually being held either:

Pro-Palestinian student protester detained by US immigration officials, says lawyer
Mahmoud Khalil was at his college accommodation when immigration officials detained him, says his attorney.

That used to matter. Now it's an "official act," for which he's immune.
That shouldn't mean that he's able to violate the constitution at will. I know, I know.
