If we don't complete our march to an idiocracy, of which we are 95% there, he can add his name to the history books as someone who did his best to expose the muck. And for the record, fake news mostly exists on the Fox News Network, Info-Wars, Breitbart and where it all started -the National Enquirer (which includes all the other crazy tabloid knockoffs you see in the grocery store check-out isle.

(2,580 posts)Even as wonderful as they are, I just don't think any of us could sit through Fox And Friends. Intellectual pain is real pain!

(258,848 posts)We see enough FOX clips on MSNBC, let alone the parodies on SNL. I wouldn't have the slightest idea where to find it, if I ever felt I was up to it. Remember the initial presidential debate was on FOX, must have been the Republicans - a woman I know gave me a call that night to ask me where to find it. She is completely non-political, but she figured I must know since I follow what's going on. So I had to keep her on the phone, going through all the channels before I finally found it!

We are in a fight for America. We are in danger of paying dearly for not paying more attention to State and local politics. The right is trying to get our Constitution changed to their liking. They need only about 6 more states to hold a Convention to do that. That is scary.
