15. Don't forget FOX NEWS and its multimillionaire liars
Wed Jun 3, 2026, 01:33 PM
22 hrs ago

A right-wing propaganda machine on giant color teevee almost 24/7 spewing all sorts of lies and misinformation. A machine that forced the Democratic administrations to leave its 1932-1968 platform on the left and suddenly start to lean to the right, not implementing a Universal Healthcare system for all and reigning in the healthcare insurance corporations for profits, thus securing its re-election by simply warning voters they were going to lose their "free" healthcare system to voracious right-wing profiteers if they elected the Republicrooks party.
