But, they keep holding that carrot out in front of their viewers and refuse to tell them the truth.
Perhaps they believe the election was stolen? They are a big part of the cult, more than they are a "news" organization. They mostly regurgitate the "grievances" of the day.
But, they stay away from some news stories as if they were a hot stove. They would not want to do anything to harm "their" Party, it seems? There are few stories about the insurrection of January 6th, for example.
Perhaps moreso than any politician or organization, they are preventing our country from moving forward. They are a roadblock to our democracy.
America needs to understand the negative influence this foreign-owned company has upon our politics and our future.

(38,556 posts)Those that still espouse The Big Lie have already left Fox viewership in droves, opting for OANN as their news source.
Those that haven't yet left Fox will just follow suit.
These folks are not interested in having their minds changed.

(17,863 posts)They lost viewers in droves. Then they amped up the bias and lies to a 11 to stop the bleeding and get some of those viewers back.
There is no way to retrain the seals.

(17,536 posts)Fox knows to try to become a news rather than a propaganda site would be suicide.

It is naively optimistic to hope that his cultists can be swayed by anything as trivial as fact, evidence, or logic.

(63,208 posts)We have to accept that the fight is not about convincing them but rather about preventing their cultish ignorance from being enshrined in law or public policy.
They are a lost cause, so we should focus on protecting those whom thy might harm through their Trump-addled mania.
