21/ But, make no mistake, those efforts have cost them real money. I share the cable fee stuff, because ultimately that is Fox News' firewall. Lachlan Murdoch, the CEO, has repeatedly made it clear that as long as the rates remain (and go up) he won't change programming.

Communists bloggers like @mmfa run the same playbook of lies and smears on people they feel threatened by. Produce fake news, spread it all around, then tag all fake news stories about their victim in all future stories. Guess what? Nobody cares about your BS.

2/ As the trial is happening, Fox News will be renegotiating or gearing up to renegotiate carriage renewal with 3 cable providers -- Xfinity, Chater and Cox. It's hard to overstate how significant this and how potentially consequential this is for Fox News' future. Here's why...

I run Media Matters. There is no such list. We do however keep a list of Fox News advertisers and update people on them. Here:

Newsflash everyone: Cohen is not the first lawyer that Trump and Hannity have shared. He's actually the second! Last year, Hannity ALSO hired Jay Sekulow who is on Trump's Russia legal team.

Texas Lt. Gov Dan Patrick on Fox News less than 1 month ago... Ingraham: "Your state has been completely overrun by this illegal invasion. I think calling it anything but an invasion at this point is not being honest with people." Patrick: *Nods along*

3/ The dirty secret is that Fox News is the only commercial tv channel that actually doesn't need a single adl. They could have $0 in ad revenue and they'd still have more than a 35% profit margin. That's cuz Fox is the 2nd most expensive channel on every cable bill (ESPN is #1 )

11/ Warren's public rebuke and explanations froze the gains that Fox News had been making with advertisers. It was a firewall and helped us continue the campaign and ultimately be successful.

1/ All I keep thinking about in this moment are all the horrible things that Rush Limbaugh did and said. Just flashes of them. Like how following Trayvon Martin's death, he tried to convince people it was okay to say "n word" now as long as you ended with an "a" (and said it).

10/ If Fox meets resistance and the cable companies don't roll over and force everyone to overpay in order to subsidize Fox News (as they have been doing all these years), then Fox News quite literally can't continue it's current course. It would need to change.

At this point, if you're a company that's sponsoring @seanhannity 's show, then you're financially supporting a Trump propaganda operation.

Hi @Walmart The MyPillow guy is advocating violently overthrowing a democratically elected govt. He funnels money from sales of MyPillow to fund this. You are one of his largest buyers. Bed Bath & Beyond has already cut ties. Please reconsider your financial support of MyPillow.

17/ And all that was so natural and normal for her that I don't even think she thinks what she did was extraordinary at all. She just took information, processed it, make decisions based on it and then worked to explain to others with no expectation of benefit to herself.

8/ There are about 90 million cable customers in this country. There are about 3 million regular Fox News viewers. Fox is not only forcing everyone with cable to overpay, but now they will try to pick Americans' pockets even more.
