A bigoted blend of white supremacy, xenophobia, homophobia, “christian” [do as I say] theocracy, libertarianism, selective “nationalism”, and large doses of willful ignorance, disinformation, and hypocrisy … acting as the disruptive advocate for anti-democratic autocracy to keep America divided and confused about values.
It has been a misnomer from the beginning. It was never “news” nor was it ever “fair and balanced”. I haven’t had the stomach to watch it in many years.
Fox News gives 47% of Americans exactly what they want to hear, what they believe without any help. Fox may aid and abet, but the original source is that 47%. Fox is like alcohol to a drunk driver, part of the problem, but not all.
The owners of these Faux news stations and networks should be fined for passing on lies to the public. Especially during a pandemic. They’re using “freedom of speech” premise to the enth degree to the point of Harming the Public with their outright lies and brainwashing the imbeciles who watch 24/7/365 !
FOX ‘n̶e̶w̶s̶’ Entertainment’ is not a news source. They went to court against one of their former employees and won their case using the defense that they are an “entertainment source”, and they have the right to lie protected by the 1st Amendment. FOX n̶e̶w̶s̶ Entertainment won the case.
FOX n̶e̶w̶s̶ Entertainment has two journalists on air, one is not an employee but is contracted. When asked about having had Michael Cohen as his attorney, Hannity said his show was “only entertainment”.
FOX n̶e̶w̶s̶ Entertainment survives because roughly 30% of Americans thrive on being lied to.

‘It breaks my brain’: GOP pollster admits being exasperated by Trump supporters’ vaccine refusal
Longtime GOP polling guru Frank Luntz told CNN’s Anderson Cooper that he’s reaching his limits when it comes to hearing Trump supporters’ justifications for refusing to get vaccinated against the novel coronavirus.
“It used to break my heart and now it just breaks my brain,” Luntz replied. “It causes my head to explode because I know how dangerous the delta variant is, and I know how much more dangerous it is than the vaccine.”
There is a sinister strategy behind Tucker Carlson’s apparent stupidity
Carlson, in particular, is the master at playing dumb. It is a tactic that requires none of the hard work of learning, only shamelessness and a lack of basic morality. Carlson regularly makes claims so preposterous that it’s unlikely even the most QAnon-addled conspiracy theorist can take him seriously. On Friday, for instance, Carlson defended Owen Shroyer, a host on the disinformation site Infowars, after Shroyer was charged for his role in the January 6 insurrection, by claiming Shroyer merely “stood on the Capitol steps.” (Absolutely no one is actually confused about the events of that day, or why someone like Shroyer was there.) The day before, Carlson compared being criticized for being unvaccinated to lynching and described racist terrorism as little more than “people that want to turn on the unpopular kid.” (Absolutely no one actually believes lynchings were about “unpopularity” instead of white supremacy.) In a segment on the census earlier this month, he said “the non-white people [are] cheering the extinction of white people” and that it’s “evil.” (Absolutely no one actually believes white people — who are still the majority in the U.S. are going “extinct.”)
Even Carlson’s famous “gosh darn it, this is so confusing” expression he wears throughout most of his show — which, no doubt to his delight, is routinely screenshot and mocked by liberals on social media — is part of the act. There is no way that he doesn’t know how he looks. But looking dumb is part of the playing dumb act, and it’s all an elaborate troll aimed at one end: dismantling the very concept of rational discourse by flooding the zone with extremely stupid arguments.

I believe I read that they were all vaccinated, they just don’t want anyone else vaccinated.
