Even if Fox went off the air tomorrow they'd just go find their crazy somewhere else. Hell, many already do, because they've gone so far down the crazy garden path that Fox is too moderate for them.
There's no easy fix for any of this at this point, obviously.

I would disagree in that prior to Dominion Fox could outright lie on the air, and had access to the whole country as a major network.
They had to fire Tucker Carlson, and lost hundreds of millions of dollars as a result. They will continue to frame lies as "opinion", but there are now network imposed limits.
Those MAGAs who dropped Fox now watch networks with much less reach.
Hitting the bottom line works.
