Fox News Watchers voted for Trump, the most uninformed or not correctly informed people nominated this man for President is So F'ing Scary! Trump estemated to watch 6-8 hours of Fox News daily makes him among the most uninformed. Trump thinks CNN, MSNBC, ABC are Fake News is disturbing on all levels. This is why Republicans have to Lie, Cheat and Steal elections they don't Buy.
