Bizarrely, Stelter claimed "most of the criticism of Fox News is not aimed at shutting it down, which will never happen anyway. It's about making Fox better, putting the news back in Fox News. They keep going the other way. If Fox is going to keep transitions into the 24/7 Tucker channel, then maybe it belongs next to SYFY on your channel lineup, not MSNBC. These need to be nuanced conversations, not edicts, not orders."
It's "nuanced" and not "orders" to call up cable providers like Darcy did, and pressure them to drop Fox? In a remarkable brain spasm, Stelter claimed he was only trying to help Fox put more news in its menu, because "Harm reduction is possible by adding more news and less opinion to the content." He's suggesting Fox has too much opinion in its news, unlike CNN. At the very least, Stelter is telling the public that Fox News is a "polluter" causing "harm," a poison, a cancer. CNN is telling people not to watch their competitor -- the one who has been besting them in the ratings for decades -- in short, that it's Fake News. When Donald Trump called CNN and the other liberal outlets "Fake News," they all implied it was an attack on democracy itself. But since they are the dominant media, they are democracy. Trashing Fox News as info-pollution is freedom of speech. CNN calling for a reduction of Fox's reach is an argument for healthy "democracy," not censorship. A few years ago, messing with cable providers was an offense. Let's go back to Stelter's story on the Trump Justice Department holding up AT&T's merger (acquiring CNN, among other assets). "So now there are two competing narratives about what's going on. The first point of view is that the Justice Department is intervening to protect consumers. The countervailing point of view is that political games are being played."Stelter claims he and his leftist friends are "protecting consumers," when everyone should understand "political games are being played."
