The more information that comes out about the orange man’s corruption, the harder they support him.

No. But it is like a legitimate Department of Justice executing a completely legal search warrant. Jesse Watters' comparisons are like apples to giant malignant rotting oranges. As usual.

to hold that sleazy, lying, traitorous network responsible for the outright damage they've caused to our country.

Free speech has to have some limits. A network dedicated to tearing the United States of America apart needs to pay, and pay dearly, for their fascist agenda.

Fuck Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch! 😡

A few years back, I was walking out of a meeting with a woman I knew who had held a meetup for one of our Democratic Congressional candidates and, of course, we started cringing about TFG who was still in office at the time. And the two women behind us, who I'd known and liked for years, started saying to each other that they watched Fox "News" all the time, that was what they paid attention to...

Have they never wondered why tfg has never thrown a big party at one of his bug-infested properties to thank them for their support?

Not sure how to deal with that in any effective way. My sister is very active in Democratic politics back home. We were talking generally about propaganda and I mentioned that Al Franken had been railroaded. She responded that she tried to avoid "blame shaming". I was flabbergasted. Apparently misinformation is available to anybody.

The reasons for falling into such "unreason" remain a mystery for me, though as I age, I can imagine dwindling cognizance has its moments.
