Sorry, but you can't "revoke their broadcast license" because Fox News doesn't broadcast—it's a cable network, so it's not bound by FCC regulations. (That why you used to be able to get softcore porn on Cinemax!) I wrote a Substack about it a year or so back—drdarkeny.substack.com/… .
What you CAN do is pressure your local cable provider …

What you CAN do is pressure your local cable provider to remove Fox News by organizing a boycott of their cable service—assuming you haven't already cut the cord because you're sick of paying hundreds of dollars a month for the same crappy channels?
I dunno why people bother with TV, cable or broadcast. I had cable for my kids 25 years ago. They watched MTV, VH1 and Comedy Central. I kept my TV for streaming for awhile. Cable, 250 channels and nothing worth watching.
The TV has been gone for years. Never missed it.
I play with my cats and make soft pretzels now.
Sounds lovely.
So true. The more there is to watch, the less there is worth watching.
Lots of people still do, though.
And more of them leave Fox News on in the background. 🤮
