The scary thing is how incredibly coordinated it all is. Limbaugh laid the ground work and FOX normalizes everything. Now FOX won't go as far as Breitbart, but they will reference Breitbart stories vaguely to give them credibility. There 100% has to be collusion between Alt Right sites like Breitbart and FOX as well as the Con Newspapers. It all works together.
