we oftentimes mark Fox News mercilessly
but it turns out that they actually get a lot done
and the reason why they were able to get a lot done is that they have a very
loyal
alder active following
and it's kind of amazing the extent to which they can get *** done
so and by the way it also doesn't hurt that the rest to the media
pretends like they're legitimate and then that also lends them for their
legitimacy
and then it has a wider a fact so listen to this from EDI
quote following Hannity's spring break
coverage on Fox News remember that for the bike a week straight talking about
how spring break is
evil residents love that Florida hotspot
have been packing almost every public meeting
to demand that the city n Bay County
make changes to spring break laws starting this Thursday the local city
council in Panama beach
will begin drawing up new provisions aimed at preventing some %uh the most
outrageous aspects up the Spring Break party scene
from happening on their turf they are expected to include
quote tighter enforcement of capacity limits
providing additional canine units requiring those drinking alcohol have
valid identification
and in forcing a night curfew
because I'm Sean Hannity and because of ox news
you have spring break towns that are trying to enact curfews
on people so they're trying to ban spring break from the spring break towns
unbelievable quote city council members have neglected to crack down on the
worst Spring Break behavior for fear that students would choose to spend
their vacations elsewhere
therefore hurting local businesses and tax revenue
which is incredibly important if Palm Beach City does end up becoming a less
popular spring break destination due to these new laws
residents and business owners alike may have Sean Hannity
at least in part to thank think about this guy's researchers leaving about
this
we always talk about how you know
we don't have any effect on the national dialogue a
you know even the rest the me usually doesn't have any effect either
I me we live in a country where ninety-one percent the American people
wanted universal background check we could get that through the congress
okay eighty percent want a minimum wage hike we still haven't done that
I mean you can go down the list only seventeen percent of us still wanna be
in Afghanistan
yet we're in Afghanistan so many issues where the the American people are
ignored
and even if the media brings up these things which they rarely do but even if
they do bring it up to the congress like
and nothing gets done but of fox news segment on spring break
a ridiculous segment where they demonize the idea of spring break like it's not
kids just having fun it that's leading to policy changes
they're getting policy changes how infuriating is that how many times we
cover story right give you a specific example of a specific person
who died as a direct result right-wing policies when they didn't expand
Medicaid under Obamacare
it was a harvard study that said seventeen thousand people will die every
year
because they expand Medicaid in over twenty republican states
I give you specific names of people who died because about policy
has that affected the policy it has affected the policy right nothing
changed
but in at this is why I get pissed off man
hey MSNBC and Fox News can get a ***
Spring Break town in in florida to change their laws to crackdown because
they were outraged by what they saw
why can't you will cover the medicaid situation in the 17,000 people dying
day in and day out until you force those states
to change their loss why can't you do that why can you figure it out
because you're not smart and you suck at your job that's why
that's why look I don't want to be on MSNBC I wanna be the mainstream media
because you have too many controls and I don't have full editorial control all
that stuff
but if I had a show on MSNBC earth I was
the executive producer 10 shows if I could whisper into edge Holt here what
to cover
I would say no you're doing a week her two week long special whatever takes
specifically on the issue of them refusing to expand the Medicaid
it the medicaid expansion under Obamacare in the red states
and we're going to highlight specific examples of people dying in tell their
personal stories visit their families
and a half for the message home it so every single
RedState you have people overflowing in the meetings that the town hall meetings
where they say
if you accept as Medicaid expansion we're gonna *** revolt on your ***
you can get *** done with grassroots pressure but you need a media doing the
right things and we don't have that NECO
makes me go crazy man when the idiots on Fox News can mobilize people
to change spring break laws and we can mobilize people disable lives
with medicaid there's a problem there there's a disconnect and we need to do a
better job with our media
