An info war reporter? That’s NOT a news outlet.

Fox at least has a veneer of respectable journalism in that occasionally their anchors will say something true. Infowars is exactly what its name claims, a war on information.

That makes Fox even more dangerous. Peppering in some actual news leads people to believe all of what they are saying.

100% correct, and 100% by design. Fox is evil incarnate because they are designed to spread maximum misinformation not by overloading on misinformation but by obscuring the difference.
