Opinion | If you're not a fan of Fox News, now you can actually do something about it

I refuse to fund a channel spreading bigotry and undermining our democracy. You should, too, DeanObeidallah writes.

65 million cable-connected households are forced to fund Fox News, allowing Fox to reap an estimated $1.8 billion in revenue per year in carriage fees.It’s time this ends. We must demand that cable operators grant us freedom from Fox News.

If people want to watch Fox News broadcast its rancid red meat, they should be able to. That’s freedom. But freedom is also not forcing the 62 million households who don’t partake to subsidize Fox News’ right-wing propaganda. Given how much the right tells us they love “freedom,” they should support this quest.

This is not begrudging Fox News’ ability to negotiate a higher cable fee; it’s that I don’t want to help fund that network. Do you? It’s infuriating that on some level you and I are complicit in the toxic fodder being peddled on Fox News by helping fund its content.
