I just watched a couple montages of fox news and the pResident

I am pissed, we don't have TV and haven't for over 20 years. We have internet and so we are able to look up what we choose, I do not choose to look at anything related to fox news because long time ago we thought it was reckless.

This fox news program is more than dangerous, it's disgusting and it's no wonder people are stupid and angry they are being fed lies daily in the name of news. This should be shut down, it is brainwashing to the exponential power.

Fox news should be held responsible for what is going on now!

Shut it down!

Sorry about the rant, I'm pissed this morn. People were crying in empty grocery stores yesterday. Maga winning if this means sliding into third world status in record time. 3.5 years!

Our 1st Amendment is a double-edged sword. Fox has the right to lie and the right to call its lies “news.” These lies are protected, political speech under the 1st Amendment. Other nations are not so tolerant. Canada banned Fox News, for example, and they did so because they didn’t want lies sold as “factual” news that people might actually believe.

We need to reinstate THE TRUTH DOCTRINE, or we need to add a large disclaimer flashing at bottom of screen, entertainment not facts through whole program.

Something.

There are some that have had Fox running through their brain since they were born, and it's only gotten worse. What we learn is what we teach.

At least if there was a disclaimer at the bottom of the screen, we could just shame them to drag their knuckles back into their caves.
