For those of you who are from outside the US, this is a Fox affiliate, which is a pretty conservative news source, but less conservative than Fox News proper, since it’s for the MSP area specifically. Still an indicator that we’re likely to see very good participation.
KMSP is owned by Fox Television Stations, LLC.
So it is operated by Fox directly, as opposed to explicitly hard conservative groups like Sinclair or Nexstar.
Thanks!

That’s not really how it works…
If it was an affiliate someone like Sinclair owns it and operates under Fox, like a franchise.
Fox still owns this one, so the Murdocha control it directly. But the level of influence exerted varies.
Feel free to elaborate further here; I was just going for a quick one-line summary. The finer points of American media ownership are truly Lovecraftian.
It’s one company masquerading as several. It’s an as close to an absolute monopoly as you could get. It might even beat out Nestle or Pepsi co

There’s not really anything else, or I’d probably have said it already…
Just weird to have someone ask me if they have any more questions. Like, if you want to learn about stuff, asking questions is a pretty important part of the proces
I have already asked you all the questions I have regarding the contours of the American media landscape. Thank you for offering your time and expertise.
Alright man, you’re welcome I guess
Good for the lawmakers here.
This needs to be a national strike not just Minnesota.
You are welcome to join us from anywhere. Workers of the world unite.
I will doing my part too from my small northern Nevada town. We are all in this together. We have to be the ones who will save us.
Are you a Marxist-Leninist or a libertarian socialist?
Thank you for the archive link, OP, I hate visiting fox links.
The one nice thing about reading fox is they take articles that are roughly center-left eu politics and write articles about them as if they are communist propaganda. The more centrist papers just… don’t mention them at all. If you can withstand the awful editorial voice, it’s actually a pretty reasonable source for news.
Might be too cold for the march but cold enough for any excuse to not go outside for work or school
Yeah for sure. Probably the video call on Tuesday is more realistic.
edit: sorry alt text in markup is hard
It’s also not helpful that this happens to coincide with an extreme cold snap that has shut down schools and businesses anyway. No way to tell the actual effect from the incidental effect due to the weather.
It’s the least they can do. And a one day strike is useless AF. General strike is no one works until demands are met.
It’s -20F outside here. Pretty easy to take part in the strike today.
Is that the one for 2PM only for the 1 day on a Friday?
