33. You're confusing Fox with news. It's propaganda

And worse, Fox is propaganda designed to divide America to get votes for GOP billionaires.

Fox doesn’t deserve the same treatment as news shoes that care about the truth.

There is no Fox equivalent on the left. None. The government shouldn’t censor Fox. But citizens sure as hell can tell everyone they know that Fox is billionaire-controlled and bad for America.
