The fact that the media has to work THIS HARD to amplify them enough to make the dying-out christofascist ideology pick up any plausible steam, tells us a lot.

A lot of their power is only meaningful because it exists within a society that enables it.
One morning, Robert Herring is going to go to his office at OANN and the lights aren't going to turn on. There's going to be nobody at the cameras, and nobody answering the phone when he calls the support desk to find out why. Even if the computers turned on they wouldn't connect to any network.
Money and the rank of CEO can't make anything happen. What makes things happen is workers and infrastructure, and the former can only compel the latter within the context of the current society.
Paradoxically, the fascists may have far more power now, under a liberal market democracy, than they'll ever have if the guns ever start firing.
