Create A New Show called "Fox News Unspun"

I, of course, never watch Fox News but couldn't resist last night to see how they would report Obama's Farewell Speech. Well, I honestly couldn't take more than 2 minutes of Hannity talking about it. Literally, less than 2 minutes! Hannity was being gleeful that the Obama nightmare is now over, and then Hannity started to list "facts" to diss Obama. So, that's when this idea for a new show popped into my head! CNN (MSNBC would not be considered credible by even normal republicans) should have a 1 hour segment every night with a show titled something like "Fox News Unspun" and that whole one hour should be devoted to undoing all the lies that Fox News had aired that day. This new show should air at 11pm every night! Please, CNN, make this happen!!

No...not all of the Fox News audience, but maybe some of the normal people that watch and also Independents. We need something to counter the garbage that Fox News spews! And, having a show like this, would maybe make Fox News more accountable for their reporting. Or, at least maybe have to defend themselves in some way the next day after they've been called out by a major news show!

This poor soul was cheering when he thought Obamacare was being repealed. He felt safe because he was on 'ACA' the affordable Care act.

with Limbaugh and O'Reilly on his Air America radio show.

But it was too little at a time the RW was pushing America into the "post-truth" era. it truly seems that critical thinking has given way to believing whatever aligns with a person's political beliefs.
