7. A lot of the US vs THEM partisan bickering is due to FOX

They promote it.

They're dividing the country which leaves it at risk of being conquered or taken advantage of.
They're dividing people who are on the same team.

We're bickering about a stolen election that was never stolen for example.

Remember "Death Panels"? Or "Obama was born in Kenya"

The cost to the country is a heck of a lot more than $1.6 billion (damages for Dominion)
