(We don't have to posit any connection to the Russians - Fox is bad enough just being run by a billionaire.)

Just one comment on history: Fox was founded in 1997.

It was Limbaugh and right-wing fear radio that started it. GOP billionaires need votes for their anti-working class tax cut policies. So they built a propaganda machine: Limbaugh, Hewitt, Fox, NY Post, WSJ, Boston Herald, Breitbart, Reason, Cato Fnd, Jud Watch, Cit U, Bradley Fnd, Searle, ALEC, State Policy Network, Heritage -- these are ALL propaganda organizations, funded by billionaires to achieve their donors' goal: destroy government to cut taxes on the rich.

How does the propaganda machine get votes for the GOP? Using fear. Fear of black people, gay people, liberals, immigrants. And Trump just took over the propaganda machine. Now Fox and Sinclair are showing their true colors to support the president and the GOP.

You're absolutely right. The GOP propaganda machine is what created Trump.
