Summary

We cover the QAnon community's moody, messy relationship to Fox News, then uncover the history of the channel and how it is the product of generations of propagandism. Finally Jordan Uhl talks to us about fighting corporate advertisers so they stop endorsing white nationalist Tucker Carlson and his assertions that immigrants make America "dirtier, poorer, and more divided" during his prime time slot on Fox News. Apologies to any new patrons who aren't called out at the end — we recorded this one a few days ago. You'll get shouted out on the next one! Thank you.

Fox News. Fox News. Fox News. Fox News. Fox News. You do not know. Under any circumstances,

0:07.8

got a hand at you. Fox News. They are the most washed cable news network in the United States of America,

0:14.4

and to put it mildly, propagandists of the highest order, giving airtime to a murderer's row of

0:19.2

grifters, war criminals, and empty-headed pundits. Systematically and very effectively siding with

0:24.5

a Republican party no matter how ugly things get, Fox News flirted briefly with their own version

0:29.3

of the high road before caving and giving their biggest morning show fan, Donald J. Trump,

0:33.8

a free ride no matter what he says does or turns a blind eye to. Anyways, I'm getting ahead of myself.

This episode will explore the QAnon relationship to Fox News, then dive into its actual history,

0:44.2

and finally, we have our first repeat guest, Jordan Yule, a progressive activist who has effectively

0:49.2

led a boycott campaign against Tucker Carlson, a Fox News pundit and human pennilowfer who said

0:54.8

that immigration makes America quote, poor and dirtier and more divided, and whose only wise move

1:00.0

has been to wear less bow ties. So, you know, how can we reach people like QAnon believers who often

1:08.2

experience the same frustrations, but then they might draw very different conclusions from them?

1:14.4

How do we take that kind of sense of just anger, justified anger, sorry, and turn it into something

1:22.4

more productive than like, hey, we're all waiting for Hillary to be hung by the military or whatever.

1:31.1

I'm getting into the big questions. I'm like, hey, solve capitalism. Also, how do we get these QAnon

1:35.7

people off those rails? I see the QAnon thing is a tricky one, but one thing I was thinking about

1:41.6

this week is how like watching Tucker, like the guy can speak to the issues that capitalism

1:48.5

creates. He can come at it from a populist perspective, but then his conclusions go like so far

1:54.7

right. He brought, like multiple times this week, he's brought up big pharma and the opioid crisis,
