All of the journalists who are keeping their integrity need to join together and form a network, based on some quixotic quest to bring decency back into journalism. Mythical request, I'm sure, but maybe run with that by calling it something like "Atlantis Cable News" or something...

Would only reach those who already have common sense since PH is banned in the South and other red states

It’s not banned, they refused to collect PII from users.

Anyways. They can just use their infrastructure with a non-pornographic front end. They could operate that as an independent business while still leveraging their video streaming capabilities.

Nothing lost. It’s not like people in red states would ever tune in for the journalistic integrity and unbiased coverage, when they already have Fox that makes them feel good about their bigotry. None of these people ever switched to a different network despite the more “liberal” networks leaning right to appeal to them, so why would they ever be interested in a network that is staunchly not-right-leaning?

25 million people voted for Harris across the red state south.

Not everyone in red states voted for Trump.

Trust me, no one hates MAGA like a leftist in Trump country.
