So, Fox does a segment talking about the 10 unhealthiest places to live, blaming Democrats for it.
Here's the graphic




Looking at the source for this info shows the complete opposite, although it's hilarious that Fox screwed up and put Irving, TX instead of Irvine, CA. Those are the HEALTHIEST places
