    Wow, now this is the type of direct action we need, which will actually make a measurable difference. I have been saying for years that until the Murdoch problem is addressed, everything else is...

    The call was an unusual one for a journalist. But Luce — who had tweeted on Friday that Trump “has normalized the language of violence in US politics” — was one of a growing number of prominent voices, including former conservatives who oppose Trump, speaking out against Fox News and Fox Business.

    Max Boot, a conservative columnist and former Christian Science Monitor editor, appeared on CNN this morning urging investors to “boycott Fox News until they pull back from the hate.”

    Wow, now this is the type of direct action we need, which will actually make a measurable difference.

    I have been saying for years that until the Murdoch problem is addressed, everything else is pretty much a waste of time, and we will never get back to relative sanity in US politics.

    Edit: added the word “relative.”
