A recipe for disaster, sure. But also a reflection of a wide swath of ignorant, hateful, greedy, xenophobic America.

We ever take back the country with all the massive protests, that will only grow, I hope we can do the same to Fox and their Spawn Networks. End them all like a Book in a Library with a bad word in it.
They are the worst enemy to this Nation and democracy that we ever faced.
Seeing the clips of all the “Good” shit they spew is sickening.

but it should end there when it becomes detrimental to American Society!

FOXNEWS has lied so much they had to pay almost a billion dollars!
Fox News agreed to pay Dominion $787.5 million and acknowledged the court's earlier ruling that Fox had broadcast false statements about Dominion. The settlement did not require Fox News to apologize. It is the largest known media settlement for defamation in U.S. history.

In trumplogic, their license should have been revoked!

NBC might have trained trump for TV, but Fox News Promoted Him!
Fox News hosted him calling in to Fox and Friends
Fox News promoted him and his birther nonsense,
not once did they mention all that was needed was one American parent for citizenship!
They promoted an empty podium rather than show the other candidate's speech.
They promoted his stolen election nonsense.
They promoted, and continue to promote.
FoxNews Is Responsible

Jennifer A. Senko born June 23, 1954, is an American documentary filmmaker, author and truth-in-media activist.
She is best known for her work on the documentary films The Vanishing City, and
The Brainwashing of My Dad.
trump's brain has been brainwashed by FoxNews, believing it's the only factual news service.
He watches it every morning and his best friend is Sean Insanity!
