They live in a fact-free universe, insulated from reality. It's like people tripping on LSD in the 60s. It was a waste of time trying to convince them that the sky is not full of flying, pink elephants. The only thing you could do was try to stop any MORE people from taking LSD!

And that's basically how progressives have addressed the problem. Don't bother trying to argue with anybody who's already IN the Fox Bubble. Just try to stop more people from entering it, by showing everybody how bad it is. All you have to do is:

A) EXPOSE it as the propaganda machine that it is, and don't give it the dignity of treating it like a real news organization. (Why the White House allows that smirking, chipmunk-faced asshole Ed Henry into the White House press room is still a mystery to me! They don't allow anybody in from ALEX JONES INFOWARS, so why the hell do they let Henry in??) And,

B) MOCK them and their viewers at every opportunity. (Jon Stewart/ Stephen Colbert style!)

sometimes I get angrier than others but they are the reason the shows are entertaining
