I actually look at foxnews front page a lot to figure out how the world looks from the other side… and I gotta say it’s almost destroyed my belief in the first amendment. Like if this is what a free press looks like we need less of it.
We’re badly damaging the information flow of 40% of the population to maximize the profits of a business whose net asset value is less than 1 day of US GDP. This is like the worst case scenario for bad outcomes.
Almost to a person people who talk like this have not paid attention to anything. All that they know is hearsay from Fox News or other right wing outlets. They will hit on key phrases and words and that’s it. They can provide no independent thoughts or analysis.
This is pretty much the reality for the republican base since the early 90s when right wing radio started to take off.
Another year or five… The thing is, if they escape this then the Democratic nominee will be investigated by foreign governments and the Barr DOJ. It doesn’t matter who the nominee is, they’ll investigate. Then it’ll be “Well they’re both crooked, what’s the difference?” to a lot of the country.
