I feel like a dope for not ever thinking of this, because Fox is so totally off my radar as a potential source of information. I honestly had forgotten that they aren't just Tucker Carlson and Jeanine Pirro or whatever her name is with the horrific nasal voice.

This is wonderful advice! Super helpful for people like me Thank you!

you and your brother are developing a worthwhile relationship after all these years. That's rather wonderful.

Each played to their readers - just like fox.

[There's no good excuse for fox of course, but things have been, and are, the way they are].

One Evangelical sister, who lives near me, is always repeating something she heard on Fox News. I will refute what she says, citing the NYT or Washington Post as a source of true facts. Then she gets made and tells me. "you think you know everything, I'm not talking about it anymore".

She is like most Fox viewers, they wear blinders and only believe what is on Fox. They live in a world where all brown people are out to kill you, rape you, steal from you and all black people belong in jail and you need to buy gold coins.

Almost worst of all is that Rupert Murdoch has made billions of $$$ spouting this trash news. The most sad and absolutely worst of all is that millions of people believe it.

did anything wrong to be able to show him his only trust news source actually agrees with CNN, MSNBC, and the rest is quite devestative to his delusions.

... state run media outlet.

I swear, bring back Fairness Doctrine or we'll stay more polarized

I do kind of know Fox has actually reported a few things lately that have Trump shooting off insane tweets about it.

He was ordered by the court to pay up for defrauding the donors of charitable contributions people made to support veterans in October 2019. The money was held up for two months while Trump's lawyers tried to get the judge's blessing to allow Trump to claim the payments as tax deductible charitable contributions. I don't know what the final adjudication on that was, but when the news broke in December 2019 that he'd made that payment, Trump naturally complained about the publicity and its timing, as if it was all somebody else's fault that he'd conned people and had to pay back some of the money.

It's so odd that none of this seems to affect Trump's credibility in any way in the media, which slavishly report Trump's every utterance as 100% trustworthy, at least to begin with. Once it's shown that he out-and-out lied, the media are on to the next thing.

or sometimes the WSJ (which has a RW editorial bent, but they often have important news articles) or even the National Review (William Buckley's old publication.)

They're more likely to listen if I use a source they generally trust.
