Something that bewilders me--although, by now, I guess it shouldn't.
How on earth do people get the impression that they're well informed on national/international events if they watch Fox "News"? An example. Today, I was watching the news on one of my local TV stations. The station did a report about the Russian hacking situation and my curiosity got the better of me, so I briefly switched to "Fox & Fiends" (not something I'm given to doing much) to see if they were talking about the hacking and, if so, how they were spinning it. Instead, they had Brian Kilmeade sputtering about a video that celebrities made encouraging the electors to vote for Clinton.
Next, I switched to "The Bill Press Show" and saw a discussion about Trump's conflict of interest issues. Back to the fiends and they're talking about an issue of great concern to all Americans (wait for it, wait for it)...ugly Christmas sweaters!
It's astonishing to me how people can watch this kind of stuff and think they're getting the straight story on anything. Still, millions do.
