FOX is now helping disenfranchise thousands of our military from all over AND

I hold them responsible for contributing to the massive numbers of COVID infections and deaths.

Democrats need to STAND UP and expose their malfeasance and further danger to our country.

Here is why: Every day since Trump labeled reporting on the COVID as a new "hoax by the Democrats" they have promoted this Trump/GOP position to their millions of viewers and we all know how their viewers believe everything FOX pundits and hosts say in support of Trump. The problem is that now the exponential rise in infections and deaths are real and overtaking the RED states in unbelievable numbers. MAGAs are dying and becoming sick as well as the rest of us thanks to not taking this pandemic seriously and their willingness to choose money over lives. The media and Dems talk about the numbers but they fail to ID a huge root cause. i say it is FOX and the GOP who appear there and who keep pushing Trump's notorious agenda. WE NEED TO CALL THEM OUT. FOX IS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO OUR NATION!

Next, FOX continues to push Trump's lies about the election and Biden's victory. This is now a lie that threatens to disenfranchise thousands of our active duty military by labeling their votes ad fraudulent. CNN had a very good segment that presented spouses of active duty military who had to move out their home states because of military transfers. In all such cases these people are still RESIDENTS of their home states and localities and are legally able to vote in those area no matter where they are stationed at voting time. In NV there are about 3,000 such voters who appear on a list that the GOP is using to prove their voter fraud allegations. The spouses who appeared on CNN were livid. This story should be told and re-told across the nation and especially in Georgia where the fate of Senate control is at stake. Politicians who continue to countenance Trump's lies and anti-American actions do not deserve to be in charge of anything.

My main point here is that FOX should be required to carry both storylines, forced to apologize and many need to be fired for knowingly misleading their viewers. It is not enough for the other networks to report on these stories. FOX must report on these stories to the same extent as they have carried and featured Trump/GOP lies. Every Senator and Representative who appeared on their shows and pushed these lies should be help accountable and some should be RECALLED where possible. They are, indeed, responsible for the deaths of thousands and the defamation of our democracy by smearing and promoting lies about the integrity of our voting and election results.

To me, this is major, having lost so many in my family and my spouse. It should be major to every Democrat who knows the truth and every GOP who shuns the truth.

Finally, how do we get this message to Joe and Kamala or Democratic activists who will put FOX at the stake and burn them up?!!!

I wrote this original post thru tears and shaking because I just can't hold back my rage. The text may be erratic and disjointed but you get my message. Sorry for the typos and such.

Doesn't appear that anyone is holding Barr/Rudy/FOX accountable for spreading this disinformation,

I am telling you. The FOX network is a force that needs to be stopped. They give out the false information that riles up the Trump base with all sorts of crazy conspiracy theories. The state and local politicians are beholden to that crazed base and will therefore may be able to carryout and overthrow this election results with some political, but legal, maneuvering.
