I really question how much overlap there is in the Venn diagram of "people who pay for television", "people who hate Fox News", and "users of Lemmy". I can't imagine it is very big.

What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
Users of Lemmy is a subset of people who hate Fox News
No one has to subscribe to cable television, FYI.
In few years watching Fox is a civic duty and participation will be tracked. Non-compliers will be made in to a cheap labor force in reeducation camps.
"Oh boy, here I go killing CEOs again!"
You should read about the Rupert Murdoch inheritance case. He lost, and it may end up being the most impactful thing in media for a long time.
He still has to die first.
What's the over under on ol' Rupert getting to it before anyone else can?
Pretty high on Rupert, he's 93 he's had at least one stroke already and the wiki picture from 2012 already has him looking one foot in the grave and he broke his back in a fall a year ago.
All good things.
Hopefully we’ll get some good souls who figure out how to block Fox into the background while you still get Trump Social Media Credits™️ for watching while doing other things.

I had no idea this happened, and now all I can think is that the writers of the HBO series Succession were coming from a very real place. I know the family in that series was inspired by the Murdochs but I didn't think it was that faithful to reality.
You know propaganda has been effective when its intended victim does not know that they were a victim. If it's on television via any news source, it is propaganda.
The link to the alternatives doesn't work. So maybe you can't anymore?
