Fox News is worse than I ever thought.
First I'm going to say that this isn't me saying that ALL Rrepublicans are stupid. Some do, I'm certain, have quite high IQ's.
However.
I've spent the past week monitoring Fox News, so I could compare. I've come to the conclusion that the Republicans tilt their news to easily manipulated, unable to follow a bouncing ball much less have an independent thought Americans. The way the "reporters" foam at the mouth as they wax poetic about Trump is nauseating. I think Hannity really wants to burrow inside of him.
I admit I only watched in spits and spurts- I was comparing it to CNN And MSNBC- but I could only take so much of the insanity that was happening on Fox. Anytime my head stared throbbing I had to change the channel.
The best example of just how out of whack their coverage is in comparison happened in the aftermath of Melania Stealing from Michelle Obama.
I first saw the story on MSNBC. turned the channel, CNN had it as well.
Forty. Minutes. Later
Fox still didn't have it. Instead, they were bringing out the mothers who had spoken against Hillary. Everyone talked about how great trump is and his stupid wall and blah blah blah.
I was incredulous. I knew they'd spin it, but not reporting at all?
At around the hour mark, something was finally said. And it was completely downplayed and may have been on air for 50 seconds.
Back on CNN and MSNBC, the reporters and talking heads were all over it. Not so on Fox.
It's how they keep the people stupid. The way they praised Donald and that RNC shit show every night was UNREAL. it's like Jesus himself is running. They don't fact check at all. They just flat out say he's awesome and wow what a revelation his acceptance speech was. So presidential!
Um. That speech was abysmal. It was fear, fear, fear. Dark. Crazy. Negative.
Over on fox, they said he spoke the truth and Hillary was probably shaking in her shoes.
On CNN and MSNBC, they were talking about how over the top negative it was.
(Except Tweety, who seemed to think it was the battle hymn of the republic)
my takeaway from this experiment is that i firmly believe fox is around to keep a certain section of people uninformed. Period.
And those people tend to be not the brightest bulbs.
The amount of shit I've seen on FB this week has been staggering. Without fail, when I ask what fucking news they're watching.... They say fox.
😡
Worse, when I tell them Fox isn't really news they respond that they don't watch the other channels because they're biased.
😳😳😳😳
Jesus. These people need to break free of their toxic little bubbles. The shit they believe is so insane I can barely keep myself from going off.
I knew going in that Fox was bad. I've watched a few seconds here and there before (as much as I can stand. I literally hate all of the on air talent. There isn't even ONE I think is watchable). This is the first time I've watched consistently and paid attention. And the takeaway is that they're fucking out of their minds to call themselves a "news" channel.
The second someone tells you they watch Fox, write them off. Their heads are filled with pure garbage. Some of it damn well felt like propaganda.

while in Texas caring for my dying father in law. In an election year, no less, when the daily word was President Romney.
Finally the old man got too weak to object and we went to Comedy Central and laughed 
I think that extended his life a few weeks, even caught him chuckling a time or two.
