Sorry, "dismantled"

And what then? So FoxNews is dismantled, what about the network that tries to take its place? OAN, Newsmax would love this idea. Dismantle them too? Then dismantle every single waste of space right wing influencer on TikTok and X? Just dismantle TikTok and X, maybe? And so on and so on, right? Am I at least close?

Hey, maybe instead of dismantling FoxNews, et al, we should just dismantle the weak, dimwitted dumbfucks that watch and believe in that shit?

That last suggestion was sarcasm in case you missed it.

The Recs for this OP, though. Now that says something.
