Places I used to see Faux News on (Dr and Dentist offices, the bank lobby), are now tuned to different stations.

I think their greater devolution into that grey area between angry uncle you only see at Thanksgiving and active shooter is because of their recognizing their dying viewer base. They have to say outrageous thinks so we will talk about them.

I fussed at the loan officers with no results then I called a few places and lo and behold no more fake news at the bank. Faun Noise, may not be seen as that credible but they repeat those lies often enough that it may stick with a few low information voters.

It's the little people's chance to counter the misinformation. There is a law that protects the liars. They are allowed to lie with impunity. We are the ones who must provide the due diligence.

I wish I could figure out how to print some of the paragraphs into my op. I am not very talented with this magic phone. I am thrilled to have figured out the occasional picture, meme, and link.
