Fox...
I was watching the news the other day and they had a story about a poll of what news sources one trusts. Among Democrats there were something like a dozen different news sources that were trusted. But for Republicans, 2/3rds said they trusted no one but FOX, and mostly got their news, exclusively from FOX.
As those who have not been sucked in knows, FOX is not an honest news source, and never has been. It was specifically designed to be a propaganda outlet, and a great deal of their content is at odds with just about every other news outlet in the world.
I think that FOX has been highly detrimental to our country and to our culture. FOX is the reason that we can no longer have a rational national dialog. The Trump came to power by essentially repeating FOX talking points, and the throng went, “He is saying what we think”. Doesn’t take a genius to see the dynamic at play. FOX is the reason why so many conservatives think that old sleepy Joe didn’t really handily defeat the Trump in the election, why they think the insurrection attempt was a peaceful walk through the Capital. Why places like Portland are so hated throughout the Conservadome.
