Those MAGAs who dropped Fox now watch networks with much less reach.
Hitting the bottom line works.

Right, and that was a good decision and the right people took it straight in the teeth and we can all enjoy that, particularly when it comes to Tucker Carlson... so lots of good schadenfreude there. Has this somehow mitigated the trend among the right of jumping like lemmings off the cliffs of insanity? I would suggest that if anything it's gotten even
worse since then in terms of what people are willing to believe and publicly adopt as their political position. I mean, 2020 "the election was stolen" Trumpers were crazy, but they've found another level entirely since.
