Well DUH! Of COURSE they did. They don’t report facts, they report ALTERNATE FACTS. Have you been reporting the exciting news from under the rock in the back garden for all this time? Don’t get me wrong, reporting the obvious has its place too, especially if it’s been ignored for years.

Fake News got what they wanted: A tyrant. Now the tyrant insists FOX news sign a loyalty oath to report on what their employee news host is doing. I am surprised that they refused; they have been following the news dictator Murdoch's orders for years and being his puppet, who must be Putin's puppet.

FoxNews seems intent on maintaining its shameful, unprofessional, and tabloid orientation even though it remains the GOP's primary source of information. Bonkers.

Fox uses "old footage" consistently to lie & assault their perceived enemies in favor of trump! Obama crowds labeled as trump crowds for example.

A hot topic with the smart folks the last few weeks has been how did we get here ??? The Ezra Klein/Coates kerfluffle, etc. i’ve made it through 2/3 of their convo and not once do they mention that ALL of red state America has their TV tuned to Fox News all day. Seems like a big factor to me!

This shit has got to stop. A self-described “entertainment show”should not be masquerading as “news”—especially if they are going to flat out lie to the public. There needs to be way more lawsuits. Freedom of speech, yes—but with consequences for lying, misrepresentation of facts, and hate speech.
