BuzzFeed Calls for Destruction of All Conservative Media, Starting With Fox News - The Lid
For BuzzFeed writer David Klion, the first move toward eliminating conservatives from society is to destroy Fox News. In his November 20 article, Klion calls Fox the "most dangerous media company in the world " and the "single greatest disseminator of fake news."
Not too much hyperbole, there, huh?
Klion goes on to lament the mere existence of Fox:
Fox News Isn't A Normal Media Company. We Have To Stop Treating It Like One. Liberals have spent decades complaining about, mocking, and fact-checking Fox News. Instead, we should remove it from polite society.
But, Klion has a recipe for putting an end to Fox. After spending several hundred words screeching about how "dangerous Fox is, Klion says we need "nuance."
Complaining about, mocking, and pedantically fact-checking Fox is easy, and liberals have been doing all of the above since the Clinton administration. But removing it from polite society will be hard, and will require a nuanced conversation about the line between a free press, which most liberals cherish as an abstract ideal, and the reality of a far-right propaganda operation that has had a uniquely destructive effect on public life.
