One of the worst things that Reagan ever did was his getting rid of the fairness doctrine
which has allowed 2.5 generations to be bathed in an almost unending stream of false
information and half truths. And sadly Ailes and Murdoch set up Fox in such a way that
people who listen to it feel good because their own ignorance and biases to be reinforced
24/7.

From reading about it online one of folk's morning jerks .... Brian Kilmeade .... and some bald
headed english twit who I saw 10 seconds of .... both of whom were on the air trying to correct
Dr. Anthony Fauci on virus and disease issues.
