Fox News is the most divisive, dishonest, and damaging institution in the US

2. Rupert Murdoch has weaponized the First Amendment and used it against this country.

9. Yes, Thanks Australia for giving the world the monstrous Murdoch.

3. I am a senior move manager that relocates seniors for their current homes to assisted living places.

One client showed me her application and one of the questions was which tv news do you watch? She was a fellow msnbc viewer like me. When we moved her in one of the assistant directors told us they move seniors into a conservative or liberal wings with like minded people. The lady I moved was going to the liberal wing. Six months passed and we checked on her. And she told us that she stays away from the conservative wing because Fox is on loudly 24/7 and the people in that wing are angry all the time and mean. The workers don’t like working the conservative wing because most of the workers are Asians of different nationalities and get rudely treated.

4. Until there is enough outrage and protesting about it, nothing is ever going to be done.

We love our freedom of ideas...even cockamamie ideas. But when they are used as 24/7 propaganda and call themselves "news", it is quickly destroying our democracy.

There needs to be a channel called "alternative realities" or something, but don't friggin' call it "news" and treat it like it's legitimate.

5. Check out former Australian PM Kevin Rudd's youtube page...

He goes to town on what weasel the Murdoch family is.

6. they created another America

There are now two Americas - united we stand, divided we fall. How to fix this?

[Progressive Jones]

7. I prefer the real America, not the new "Loser America", where the RWT lives. nt

20. There are not two Americas . There is one and the racist scumbags have always existed

in this country. Don't worry about "fixing" it as much as condemning it and not treating it as both sides .

[KT2000]

23. definitely not treating it as both sides

The two Americas are evident in conversations with RW folks. They have a whole network of media that support their views so they will never know the true facts. If you disagree with them and suggest they "look it up," they will go to RW media that support the lies. They will never see the truth. The computer algorithms will continue to feed more bad information.

I do condemn the racism and hate but the fact is the town where I live has a Q person for mayor and he is trying to load the council with other Q people so he can change the rules that run the city. His agenda is racist, paranoid, and ignorant and he has a lot of supporters - people I never would have suspected. This is not the only town where this is happening. How the hell did people get this way?

[Buckeye_Democrat]

11. And Murdoch is mostly doing it for shits and giggles...

... according to Australia's former PM, Malcolm Turnbull.

He used different wording, but he knows their family and that's basically what he said. It makes them feel powerful to be more damaging than people like Putin could only dream.

12. 3 million watch. Not many at all.

[former9thward]

14. Yes, but its more than the other cable news channels.

[roamer65]

13. I think Murdoch could very well be a Russian asset.

Time will tell.

[JHB]

15. I agree, but unlike Schmidt, I've known that for a quarter century

So did a lot of other people.

Maybe we can hear from the brighter bulbs?

[JI7]

21. No thanks, He does it better than most other people

[GoodRaisin]

16. Been a while since we've heard from him. nt

17. Yellow journalism perfected

America has had distorted influential media before (think William Randolph Hearst and Pulitzer at the turn of the 20th century)-- but Fox News has taken it to a new level-- an Orwellian level.

[live love laugh]

18. Not anymore. The internet has replaced Faux. nt

19. Mostly Angry Bitter White People that support Trump

[SunImp]

22. Yep
