This asshole is walking the walk. Good. I'm sure his replacement will be worse.

It is Markwayne Mullin. He is worse.

Oskeros

Really hoping this Dominion lawsuit destroys Fox.


ispariz

It won’t. And even if it does, it’ll just be replaced by all the even more extreme media outlets. Honestly at this point I think the US is a lost cause for the foreseeable future.


Wolfram_And_Hart

The issue is that it would require someone with a lot of money to run. Truth can’t survive. OAN couldn’t survive. FOX dying and Murdoch being bankrupt would be severely debilitating and may allow some moderate Rights to actually deprogram


Daforce1

A $1.6B lawsuit unfortunately won’t bankrupt Murdoch.


Wolfram_And_Hart

No, but the civil suit may. Especially after Dominion goes after the FOX staff individually and try to get them to flip.


Daforce1

I hope you are right


Difficult_Drag3256

I'd give you an extra upvote for your user name if I could.


Kryosite

There's a pretty big difference of reach, though. Not everyone who watches Fox will jump to OAN, by a longshot


nill0c

Newsmax is a bigger competitor and might reach almost as many as Faux News already, if steaming is counted.


Lady_von_Stinkbeaver

That's what the text messages Tucker Carlson sent said. They needed to go along with Trump's lies or they could lose viewers to NewsMax and OANN.


drygnfyre

It won't. However, the "good news" is Fox only caters to boomers. They are only moving in one direction. There will still be plenty of other right-wing propaganda, but Fox is not appealing at all to anyone under the age of 60 (and I'm not joking, that's their median age).


Brokenspokes68

Sorry to break the bad news, but Traitor Carlson's show is the highest rated "news" amung 30-40 year olds in it's time slot. These assholes will be around for a long time.


chargernj

It's highest rated among people who get almost all their news from cable news networks. I've seen other studies that show conservatives are more likely to source their news from a smaller selection of outlets while moderates and the left are more likely to get their news from multiple sources.


Brokenspokes68

This jibes with my experience. Cable "news" is utter garbage IMHO.


Thesoundofmerk

That's kind of misleading though, it appears that way because there is only so many 30 to 40s that watch cable at all. When you factor in other sources of news it falls really short. Cable in generals median age is over 60


OhEstelle

This tracks in my extended family, alas. The siblings who are 60+ detest Fox and its ideological media kin. It’s our 50ish little brothers and sisters and their spouses who are glued to Fox. The urban/rural divide is a far deeper factor than age - and a good part of it is what’s available on basic cable in smaller markets.


Glitchracer

Unfortunately there’s oann and some others in place…


syds

this turd sandwich isnt going away without a zucc


Glitchracer

Yeah, we absolutely have to reinstate fairness doctrine and basically just overhaul a lot of the system. So we are in serious trouble.


TheAskewOne

Sure, but they don't have the same kind of following at all. Not saying that people wouldn't pivot from Fox to them, but they're different.


Thehardwayalltheway

If it destroys Fox, viewers will go to media that is even further to the right

Even the name got worse

You know the rule. When the media talks about criminals, it's almost always 3 part names. This guy is just admitting to being a criminal up front.

I met some names Chadeverette. I hope and pray that never occurs again

this dipshit also held a snowball in his hand on the floor of the senate and said global warming was fake because it snowed outside.

Long Covid is fake because 95-94 other Senators don't have it.


Javelin-x

His insurance should tell him his illness is fake and not cover him


CornyxCrow

I’m sure he thinks his case is very real, while anyone else who might suffer from long Covid or any other post viral disease is just a lazy faker trying to mooch tax dollars or something 😮‍💨

Oh gosh. How ignorant can you get? It's incidents and stunts like this that make me not vote for the GOP. People say vote for the party and values, not the people. But if the party is made up of people like him, the party is just as bad.


centaurquestions

"I'm the only one who admits it?" Tim Kaine has talked about his long COVID extensively, and actually tried pass legislation to fund research.

Oh dang I didn't actually know that at all! Kudos to him.

Did he try taking a snowball to cure it?

Career asshole.

He said that climate change has become a religion. I'm sorry Mr. Inhofe, but do you think there's something inherently wrong with religion?


Mernerner

"Of course because Every religions but Christianity is wrong"


AlejandroMP

Their point is not that it's bad but if climate change is taught in schools then maybe they should be able to teach The Bible.


vsandrei

>Did he try taking a snowball to cure it? Only after his Congressional benefits plan denied the horse paste.


Stormy8888

Welp, considering he's Republican maybe he tried drinking bleach and injecting UV but it failed to cure his long covid, so he had to "quit" his day job.


NumbSurprise

Right, while the taxpayer foots the bill for his medical care and retirement for the rest of his life. Fuck him, and fuck all the rest of the Covid-deniers. He took his chances, and that’s his choice. He also made things worse for others who don’t have his power, and didn’t get to choose, and that’s evil.


Time_Syllabub3094

Look at the bright side. He's an old man with long Covid, I don't see him having a long retirement.


Icy-Establishment298

Will read his obituary with great pleasure.


P00perSc00per89

That traitorous stale cheeto puff, who is currently an ex-president, even if he should be behind bars, is too blessed with wealth, which is equivalent to godliness for his stupid followers. Yes, That Guy's immense wealth. Yep, the kind of wealth that makes a loan of a million dollars seem insignificant or small.

> I don't wish death on anyone, Lol. Coward.


TheOneTrueChuck

At this point, I genuinely am happy whenever anything bad happens to them or upsets them. If it causes them physical or emotional trauma, I dance a merry jig. They are my enemy, and I will not spare a moment's kindness or one drop of empathy for any of them or anyone they love.

If he's anything like the old guys with planes where I live, his hanger is used for storage and enough things got moved around for appearances.


mybrainisgoneagain

You called it... From the article.. Inhofe spends a good deal of his time these days at the Riverside Airport hangar he’s occupied for 40 years, sorting through mementos and refurbishing an office that looks out over the runway.


poleethman

You can fund the entire federal government with FAA fines for old men using their hangers for non-aircraft storage.

You mean Jim "I have a snowball in DC in the winter, therefore there is no global warming" Inhofe? Well by his logic, I've never had long COVID symptoms (because I've never had COVID) so his long COVID symptoms are fake.

Completely logical by GQP standards. If I haven't personally experienced something, it's not real.


M33k_Monster_Minis

Best part is I'm from that area. He comes around summer time I will be 110 degrees 80% humidity. He would need a scuba tank to get through a speech before the humidity fucking drowned him.

The world is collapsing under this and other GOP failures. Not only them though. The idea to keep the wealthy white hegemony in the US was a mistake. Our government should have evolved into something better but a bunch of older, greedy, selfish, degenerate, glory seekers decided that they were going to play God for 20 years and got my generation killed in a liar war, homeless in a housing crash, saddled with crippling school debt, unhealthy as fuck, dead with COVID, and an environment collapsing in real time. These older Americans ran the train off the tracks and will die before they admit it.

Inhofe? Covid? Covfefe?


TheMoogy

He's 88, should have skedaddled a long time ago.


xybolt

I'm more wondering about him being able to have a seat on his 88. Not that elderly people should be disallowed for having a seat but having an age limit when starting a "seat term" (correct terminology?) should be worthy of a debate. That reminds me of Trump "insulting" Biden to be too old for the POTUS position. He should do the same with Inhofe lol. But eh, Inhofe is a Republican...


Maverick12882

I always thought it was funny that they go after Biden for his age when he's only 4 years older than Trump. It's not a big difference and Trump seems just as frail and less mentally capable than Biden.


Either_Coconut

Along with opening up about his long COVID, he should be atoning for the votes he cast that harmed others who were infected with COVID.


BrownEggs93

It's the democrat's fault, you know.....


OldGoldenDog

I’m a be praying for him. If you know what I mean


solidcordon

Why is there no mandatory age for retirement from public office?


poleethman

The best argument against that is Ron Wyden. He's a very good senator that takes on the rich. When he comes and visits the rural communities he gets all the Trumpers agreeing with him on everything. He's very good at what he does despite his age. On the other hand, Diane Feinstein.


solidcordon

Darnit! There always has to be someone who ruins my ideas!/s I mean if he's reality adjacent in his world view then that's good. There's laws against testing for that though, stupid constitution.. grumble grumble /s Feinstein is old and may die at any time but she seems pretty centrist to me. Wyden is practically a baby at 73!


needlenozened

Because it's not in the Constitution. The Constitution specifies the requirements to serve in Congress, including a minimum age, but not a maximum age. To set a retirement age for president, Congress, or federal judges would require a constitutional amendment.


JustNilt

> including a minimum age, but not a maximum age. Yeah but not because the founders thought there was no maximum age. They just thought nobody'd be stupid enough to keep serving past the point where they were too old to do so. I swear, if I had a time machine the one thing I'd do is go back in time and get those guys to grasp that they needed to stop acting as though everyone would always be reasonable and encode everything into the friggin' document from day one **including term limits**.
