It started out with being troubled by Fox's own label of "The Media' That never seemed to include itself, and I would ask myself and others that questions, "Isn't Fox news part of "The Media?" other watchers seemed to have that same query.
It would take years of being on the losing end of arguments, especially Scientific ones where virtually anything from Fox was simply wrong.
Fox had me believing Climate change was a Hoax and via one of their many bullshit documentaries, that we did not land on the moon. Two things that I am incredibly embarrassed to say I ever fell for. It took time and the incredible patience of people I was debating with, both friends and those I did not know, to turn me around. It also took me up my reading game again, something which was grossly lacking during my brief immersion into "Right Wing News" and it showed.
You see, this is the Danger of Fox, and any propaganda source, they take things you have heard, think you are familiar with and slowly manipulate what you know. Soon reality can be altered and you believe things that simply are not true. By slowly saying "no, that purse she carried was not pink, it was red" eventually they will believe that purse being carried, was indeed red, the same with other events n your life.
Fox has twisted everything we know, all reality we think by doing just that, telling you reality is not what it seems.
It is somewhat open with this saying it promotes "Alternative news" and if you do not stop and think about it, if you are older, from generations where we believed what the news had to say, you fall for it.
So what do you ask is my evidence that Fox is dangerous and fake? Well my first two should of course be enough, however, lets list some recent things that Fox has manipulated and lied to regarding the Truth.
The Mueller Report; Fox news repeatedly backed the President regarding the report. One thing that Fox news constantly misrepresents is that "The Mueller Report did not find Collusion" actually the Mueller Report to which I did read, did find lots of meetings between Trump, his children and associates with Russians, however, the Attorney General, under Trump stated at the beginning of the report that "Collusion is not a Crime"

The Report

It has as I stated earlier constantly misrepresented Climate change saying it is "Debated" "Not a settled science"
It is settled, and that is saying something since Scientists argue more than Politicians.

To make it even worse, Fox news constant push for Denial puts the entire world at risk.
We are in the Sixth Mass extinction, we simply are out of time.

Next we go on to the recent protests where Fox has flat out manipulated video feed.
They seemingly purposely misrepresented certain cities to push whatever their radical Agenda is.

They consistently push the false narrative that Blacks are bad, again, by manipulating data or completely misrepresenting it and at times, just making absurd bullshit claims such as this from Tucker Carlson.

This is their worst narrative day in and day out where Tucker and other hosts constantly use White Supremacist Quips to degrade Minorities and Immigrants. As I have blogged before "Send them Back"
"Go back from where you came from"
"Immigrants bring disease"
"Build a wall" are all classic White Supremacist quips, they have managed to get the tone to soften by calling it "White Nationalism" fuck that, call it what it is.

One of the things that got me to turn away from Conservative Media, especially Faux, was their flat out fucking lies regarding Obama.
First off they constantly said that Obama ignored troops, that is a fucking lie.
Next they completely misrepresented the truth regarding Bush/Obama relationship making Michelle Obama especially out to act as if she hates Bush.
As it turns out, they are very good friends.
Next their reporting was completely backwards via Trump and Obama.

Last, they have completely omitted things from Trump has said that other Media outlets have covered, things that we should all be completely concerned about.

Their promotion of Trump could likely be called Propaganda

Their sexual assault and treatment of women is beyond repulsive. If you notice they only use former Models on their show and they like to use the "Short Skirts on Couch" narrative.

Last, they are owned by a family named the "Murdochs" who own Tabloids worldwide.
Thankfully the son however has tried to change things around a bit by saying that Fox is ruining America.

Rupert, the Father even says that their Covid 19 coverage is dangerous.

I could go on, I hope I have opened your eyes a bit, please carefully pick your news sources, your children's future depends on it.
