The reason is simple: We know now with certainty that this is not a news organization in any way, shape, or form. And every time a Democrat sits in a Fox News chair and answers those loaded questions, she or he is saying: I, and we Democrats generally, accept your legitimacy as a news organization.
Democrats can no longer do that.
Read Peter Baker’s mind-blowing account in Sunday’s New York Times about what went on at Fox in the days and weeks after the network was the first to call Arizona correctly for Joe Biden. In mid-November 2020, after Biden was the president-elect, Fox News execs Suzanne Scott and Jay Wallace called a Zoom meeting to discuss how, in Baker’s words, to “keep from angering the network’s conservative audience again by calling an election for a Democrat before the competition.” Scott said in the meeting: “Listen, it’s one of the sad realities: If we hadn’t called Arizona, those three or four days following Election Day, our ratings would have been bigger. The mystery would have been still hanging out there.”

There's no point trying to go on FOX "News" to try to persuade their regular viewers to support progressive policies.
But there COULD be some value to just hammering on the Dominion lawsuit lie revelations.
And not soft. Go hard against them. Read their texts verbatim to them. Read what Rupert Murdoch said verbatim. Confirm you've quoted those correctly.
Don't even ask them "why did you lie" or anything. Don't give them a chance to "discuss" or whatever they'll try to do. "This is your text about ____."

I think the focus should be on getting cable companies to unbundle it. I hate thinking that I am in any way funding them, even though I never watch it.

Especially now more than ever with the exposure of the text messages proving they all knew Trump lost and was a big loser but they kept pushing the election lie BS. I can't wait for Dominion to win it's $1.6b lawsuit.
