    Your fox-watching family will hear none of this. Be ready to call it out.

      Unfortunately they won’t care. By the time you can explain they’re 5 scandals along. Trump just has to scream bloody murder about something else every day. Reality is irrelevant.

      Yes, but somewhere, a trans girl is on a middle school girl’s volleyball team, so they don’t have time to worry about this during that sort of crisis.

    Where it ends?

    It ends when all news is just parroting Fox News. They will trade their legitimacy for WH access and fear of lawsuits and there will be no point watching or reading them anymore.

      Pretty sure their viewership is already way down… it’s mainly people over 60

    Where it ends is a highly politicized FCC doing “investigations” into traditional media and levying massive fines intended to drag the companies to the ground.

    Turn? It’s been absurd for decades.
