These people rely upon the fact that they usually have a lot more money and better lawyers than the people coming after them--it stops a lot of people from trying to take them on ITFP. The higher standards required to take on a media company for things like defamation also have a chilling effect.
The thing with Fox is that we literally have these people admitting to being liars and talking about how they actually need to lie in order to retain their audience.
The biggest laugh in the whole thing is that they refer to this as "respecting" their audience. I don't think that you are respecting me all that much if you are lying to me--if you do not think that I can handle the actual truth.
And the REALLY sad part is that a lot of these viewers CANNOT handle the truth--and don't even have a real clue as to what the truth is. Not because they don't have access to it, but because they DO NOT WANT IT.
One of the largest safe spaces in this country (Fox) exists to "safeguard" the people who bitch about safe spaces.
here is your meme (it may be somewhat dated, which I guess dates me):
In the movie A Few Good Men, Jack Nicholson's character has the famous line You can't handle the truth.
You need a photo of Tucker (actually of all the major Fox "opinion" stars--a separate image for each) in a pose reminiscent of the famous WW1 Uncle Sam recruiting poster (with the pointing finger and direct and challenging gaze) with "You can't handle the truth" in big bold letters.
use THAT as your billboard. Post it all over the internet, especially in places frequented by the Fox audience.

That's good. Especially since the faux conservatives likely take Jack's side in that movie.
Well... I AM someone with degrees in both art and rhetoric ;)
People think that rhetoric is a BS area of study--but that is because they do not understand what it actually is.
And the ideological nature of Jack's character was part of why that character/trope was chosen ;)
Some shit just throws itself in front of you to be used.
