Let us put blame where it belongs.

Donald Trump could not have done what he did if not for one entity. He would not be free today if not for that entity. That entity is a fake "news" source called FOXNews.

When all the lies and deception and BS is scraped away, the primary source of what our country is experiencing at this time is owned by the foreigner, Rupert Murdoch.

FOX News was never to be taken seriously. They were entertainment "news" from the beginning. They had no reporters. They admit it.

Donald Trump was their useful idiot. They built him up from the beginning and they could tear him down just as quickly, if they were to tell their viewers the truth. But they have no intention of telling the truth.

Also, we should not overlook the fact that they were as complicit as anyone in the attack upon our Capitol and our democracy.

Even today, they do not think it is even important enough to mention in their "news" show except to say it is all a big scam by the Democrats and the RINO Republicans.

If Americans knew the truth about FOX, they would be boycotted tomorrow and they would be run out of the country on a rail.

that have been polluting the minds and hearts of citizens for 35+ years. Ignored and allowed to metastasize.

The calls for violence against Democrats and Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton began then. Another poster cited a listening audience of over 128,000,000. Fox News is just monetizing this lush marketplace utterly created by the hate am media complex. And attempting to normalize it.

A pulmonologist running for Congress in my rural area, who was retired from serving in the Air Force told us that the original funding for these hate radio personalities came from the Republican Party, that he was once a member of. I believe it. Very cheap and effective and it changed the culture. Utterly normalizing hatred of liberals and the government.

And was no patriot, and an enemy of democracy. He was big into Nazi ideology, without actually using the terminology so he could avoid criticism. But that's what he was.

they'd just circle their wagons around FQX and claim they were the victims
and cry we're picking on one of their own. "They may lie but they're our liars."
