I recently joined a gym. That's given me about an hour a day of Fox News exposure. As bad as I thought it was, it is far worse. The biggest news events coverage were about how illegal immigrants are behind the unprecedented crime waves afflicting all cities. Meanwhile crime is now back to pre-pandemic levels and even at its pandemic height was still at multi-decade lows. Also, Democrats are giving illegal immigrants free housing, food, phones, and laptops. Why? "Oh you know why..." Readers get to fill in the blanks with that sort of lede. Then we had the completely political hack attack on Trump even though he's never done anything wrong, a major scandal around Hunter Biden's congressional testimony and Fauci's assistant's testimony around something else. That's the big news. The right has a profitable multi-billion dollar industry, far beyond Fox News, to propagandize. There is no counter-balance. And don't say the supposedly liberal MSM. AT best they are led around by the nose by the right wing media and politicians. At worst they have similarly sympathetic coverage when it comes to things like properly addressing wealth inequality, monopolies/trusts, and holding rich powerful people to account. #rant #uspoli #msm #foxnews
