(5,611 posts)from Fox (especially if they are over 45 or so). Even Alex Jones and his ilk get ideas from Fox. Much of the anti-democrat talking points that a random Trumper or garden variety right winger will espouse will have come from Fox. Fox is given talking points by the Repubs, and they repeat these points as a mantra. Trump and his actions will follow very closely.
I have no idea why we wouldn't pay attention to them. My intention was to give everyone an idea just so we can be aware of the bullshit they are trying to spin and ideally counteract it and/or at least be prepared to respond when a coworker or Facebook contact repeats the Fox line. I don't post every single day about Fox; I don't think anyone here is "obsessed" with Fox. But I do think it's important to know what they are saying during major news events with major political implications like this one.
