So I watch Fox News for about 15 minutes today...

...while getting an oil change. In just this brief period of time they... 1) during hurricane coverage compared the Benghazi consulate attack, where the description of the attack changed with changing intel, to Watergate, where Nixon et al covered up their involvement in criminal activity. 2) Compared Obama's economic policies (tax cuts, trade agreements, etc) to North Korea's, a state owned extremely centralized command economy. 3) Accused an Obama ad of brainwashing young people because young people took part in making the ad. Amazing.

I got them to change the channel thankfully.

And to think that my father relies on FOX News for his information. It's so sad what FOX News is doing to our democracy.
