I remember watching it and the scary feeling it would leave me with. That’s what they should call it

please try to avoid doing so in the future. It will not improve until it is forced off the air.

I try and be open minded but it’s over the top. No wonder those people live in fear. 🤦‍♀️😒

is either a lie, incorrect, biased or slanted so (R) is good and (D) is bad. What a monumental job to present a 24/7 alternate reality.

There are people who watch daily. My father did. I remember when we would talk and argue about current events. I wish I watched fox back then and I would have understood him better. oh well if wishes were horses beggars would ride (he used to say that) anyway my point, it's a hazard to people. Call it the fox twilight zone.

I have to stick to text to keep up with their psychotic and sociopathic hate and rage messaging.

I'm bothered by the idea that millions of people watch it and believe it. They believe it to a point where it has become a danger

On the rare occasion when I catch a bit of Fox News, is that they always have the outrage meter turned up to 11. I guess to fill 24 hours they have to go out and find the most obscure things and repeat them several times a day. Last year they were really hung up on homeless people in California who were defecating on the sidewalks. They acted liked it happened on every block in those cities.

It is an alternate universe. And of course, it's always a simplistic Democrats = BAD; Republicans = GOOD.

Watching CNN and MSNBC isn't just the "other side." Those two networks don't blast out liberal stories of people using meth in West Virginia and Kentucky. They don't elevate Democrats to godlike status.
