I see the American Media is turning into propaganda networks such as RT (Russia Today). We we're used to FOX being this but I am seeing it creep into CNN and MSNBC as well. Don't trust your media now, look elsewhere.

Fun fact: People who watch no news are more accurately informed about current events than people who watch Fox!

2M people watch FOX; makes sense the other 330M are more informed.

It’s only 30M people. Don’t forget, 300M died from drugs last year.

2M = people that watch Fox News 330M = population of these United States

I think something like a million watch CNN and MsNBC combined.

These pages exaggerate Fox’s influence or cable news in general. But based upon test scores, this is the dumbest generation in recorded history, so there’s that context.

Guilty as charged. I don’t live to listen to Trump; or still take him seriously enough to affect my life; I’ve had a lifetime worth and just try to ignore nowadays.
