Politics Happening Now: Downtown Phoenix Fox News Protest

Post image

This morning saw another strong protest in downtown Phoenix in front of the Fox 10 News station and Phoenix PD HQ. (7th Ave and Washington).

Protesters urged everyone to resist the lies and propaganda the Murdoch family pushes through Fox News and its affiliates.

Please remember to stay polite in this post, trolling or being rude to others on this site is not welcome. If you want to debate the effectiveness of protests or the topic of the protests, I highly recommend posting on /r/azpolitics sub.

PS: everyone knows Fox10 is not Fox News, but their parent company is the same.

I love it. But. Protest organizers need to start having a SPECIFIC goal; a SPECIFIC ask or objective. This is what makes protests most effective, historically speaking

Disagree. Resistance to fascist bigots is welcome in any way shape or form.

Go watch the Nixon documentary “Tricky Dick”. He repeatedly told me everyone publicly that protesters were wasting time and wouldn’t change anything. Privately, in his recordings that he made in the White House, he railed against the protestors and they had a huge impact on his decisions.

Trump is a narcissist. He desires everyone’s love and attention. He can’t tolerate resistance. So we resist.
