Put simply, I detest Fox News. It is the single most malevolent force misleading, misinforming, and actually MISTREATING its viewing audience in the United States.
Over the past few weeks, we have learned how truly and badly Fox News -- particularly its front-line personalities -- misleads its audience. For the sake of ratings, they lie, they repeatedly lie, to the audience. They tell the audience mistruths even though they don't themselves believe them; even more importantly, they tell the audience mistruths that they themselves know are not true.
Politics, climate change, social issues, arts and theater, education; you name it, they lie about it.
And when they don't lie, the audience gets p*ssed off, and looks around for a media outlet that lies more and more outrageously to reinforce the things they already believe.
So, to keep their audience happy, they lie to them. Over and over and over again.
And that's what political cartoonist Ann Telnaes of the Washington Post showed us.
And for good measure, this is from Nick Anderson.
