everybody knows that ppl like to read things that validate their beliefs but no other news networks actively pollutes political discourse by spreading a bunch of misinformation the way fox does

there is also misinformation via omission. the choice of not covering things that would make your favored party look bad is just as hosed up

As a Brit I just want to say: holy poo poo, that episode of South Park where Cartman becomes the morning announcer was based on actual things that happened at Fox News. I thought that ep was just ludicrous OTT jokes.

interesting, it's as though the media is so predominantly conservative that even moderate channels are considered "liberal" by low-information voters

yep. don't forget emergency survival basement kit just incase those NIGG- zombies come in the apocalypse. you can really tell a lot by the ads. just like a lot of latenight ads cater to fat removal, depression drugs, lovely white trash exercise equipment, other cholesterol/heart drugs. the audience is basically hosed up depressed fat aging (but not too old) unemployed people.

OK this is odd. Accusing someone of being an actual viewer. Is that to say everyone criticizing fox have not viewed fox news and are just parroting like the average bad poster?
Would explain a lot.
