Agreed Jeff. I doubt that Nixon would’ve resigned had there been a Fox News network back then. They create their own reality which is willingly scarfed up by tens of millions who quote it every day! There’s no agreement on what’s real & true. Thanks Fox!

I got very frustrated when arguing with my buddy about Trump & GOP. Every time I tried to go down the path of "we need to agree on the truth"...it just seemed he didn't feel that was as important as I did.
It retrospect, it probably makes sense in that they 100% are convinced they have the truth and why waste any time discussing it. Or something to that effect anyway....
Right on…they get the news from their sources, me from mine. BUT, their talking points seem much better rehearsed than mine. Names come up in slurred tones, like “Nancy Pelosi”, “Adam Schiff”, “AOC”, and an all-time favorite, “George Soros”. I confronted a friend about his source for all of this, and his response was “F U”. End of friendship. One or two word phrases like “Keystone Pipeline” and “woke”. We’re not as narrow in our viewpoints, methinks. And their propaganda runs deeper, and is more consistent than what we view, read, or listen to. I believe, and maybe I’m wrong, that we read more, listen more, and reason through things more than they do. So much fear of losing rights, wealth, position & power are propagated. Guess I’m just not so fearful as they are. It’s where they live, and why the Fox viewership is high.
Spot on. There's a bit of laziness related to their viewpoint. Sort of the Fox motto of: "We do the thinking so you don't have to"
It's easier for them to think things are always black or white...because gray is very uncomfortable to them. It's uncomfortable for me too, but I refuse to choose black or white because of it.
