Fox News is propaganda. And they make it very hard for their viewers to know what is happening with politics. Their viewers are willing victims for their lies.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I know. It started for the express purpose of being propaganda.
These fucks have somewhat successfully high jacked our democracy.
They've been astoundingly successful really. They brought corporate money and religion into politics all while claiming the other guy was the one doing it. They also convinced nearly half of America that the reason everything bad happens/exists is because the government made a law or regulation for the sake of public safety.
In the 60's I don't think anyone in America would have thought there were so many chronically stupid and ignorant people in the country. Or that they would stay that way for so many years
It's truly a marvel really.
Because for some reason, they don't change. They don't change for the better or the worse, even. They just stay the exact same, choose to die of pandemics and never believe in climate change, and somehow we have to move on without them or become a Christian Taliban country.
In fairness, they got a lot of power. So it "worked"
The first “season” of the podcast Slow Burn is about this. It’s excellent. I’ve listened to it twice.
Nixon. Nixon being publicly shamed and held accountable for watergate was the reason.
Nice read
