We talk about "hate radio." What about "hate TV."

Fox "News" peddles hate.

That's not an opinion. That's a fact. And anyone who disagrees with that statement does not understand the meaning of the word "hate."

Yes, their lies are easily checked and proven to be lies. And they unconditionally back a deranged occupant of the Oval Office. But they are doing far more than misleading, lying, and selling a grotesque distortion of reality. They are seeding hatred into the minds of millions of people who aren't really paying attention.

We know what "hate radio" is. And it's past time to start calling Fox "News," (and others of their ilk), "hate television."

Widespread use of that term may not shake many of the true-believers out of their "Matrix-like" existence. But the point is to label the rot that Fox spews, as a dangerous, and perhaps deadly disease.
