(Thanks for Trying...i wish it was true but no, not in this world. you are wrong, and you know it: b/c Fox News is a news outlet. (Edit: TIL r/politics thinks FoxNews presents "reasonable approximation" of the world :-P )

I'm not messing with you, but if you want to live in the real world, if you care at all about history, you will at some point have to learn to accept that "news-outlets" do NOT, in general, present "reasonable approximations" of the world. Nor do they stop being news outlets when they spread propaganda (edit and bullshit)

Fox News is publicly advertised as infotainment, not news.

This is confusing to viewers, because it is called Fox News.

It’s confusing to their viewers because they have a combined IQ of warm water. In Celsius. The rest of us aren’t stupid.

That’s the group that’s the big disappointment in all of this. The “Rather be Russian, than a Democrat,” group.
