@hakupony In a sane society they would be unable to do much harm. We are not living in such a society. Fox's harm is both measurable and substantial, with their ability to sharply influence elections quite well-known. To use a current example, for this current election process, it has been observed that poll numbers for GOP frontrunners have aligned rather neatly to whichever one Fox is trying to sell at that time. It can be tempting to give people the benefit of the doubt, but in the face of strong evidence it's become abundantly clear that such optimism in the common populace is woefully misplaced.
