Holy Shit .... I just watched 3 minutes* of Fox News w/Roger Kimball of the New Criterion

Did you know that Tom Wolfe really was a person that would have supported Fox News
and he was against liberal memes? I have never seen Mr. Kimball before but he could
not have been more wrong about Tom Wolfe because Mr. Wolfe was journalist @ his core
and journalism and Fox News are not anywhere near the same thing.

I really worry about people who watch Fox News and do not know that they are being
lied to 24/7.

* 3 minutes was my limit.

they have no curiosity and no filter...thus they live, sadly, in a bubble full of hate...

Kudos to you for taking one for the team -

It is fake news, fixed news, fox noise.

We had Sling, that channel is not on their service. Cable company gave us a good TV offer; I insisted BBC World News was a channel on their lineup. If I want the news, I'll get the news. No nonsense of talking head opinions. Or in the case of Fake News Channel... Propaganda.

Speaking of BBC... Guilliani was melting down on CNN. I don't think he's been on BBC since Hardtalk -10th anniversary of 9/11.
