Just a quick note. This is an important fundamental principle of epistemology.
Fox News is propaganda. It's all lies. You must understand that if you want to have a properly functioning intellect.

Discussion of public health and health care policy, from a public health perspective. The U.S. spends more on medical services than any other country, but we get less for it. Major reasons include lack of universal access, unequal treatment, and underinvestment in public health and social welfare. We will critically examine the economics, politics and sociology of health and illness in the U.S. and the world.

The really scary part is that Antonin Scalia supposedly listened exclusively to Fox News.
So he was not even living in the real world.
I was really gratified when I saw that a home with a large picture window on its front yard, which had previously always had Fox Propaganda network on each night when I walked my dogs by while someone inside lolled on the couch, had switched to MSNBC. But the people are still lolling, so they do need to get some physical exercise. At least their minds won't rot on trash now. I never would have believed that the propaganda in my country, the USA, would be this insidious and encompassing. But I guess that's how it happens wherever it happens.
I decided to tune in to Fox "News" one night. My jaw just about hit the ground. It wasn't that it was all lies. It was hatred; it was nasty, raging innuendo, dripping with venom and dipped in paranoia. The facial expressions on the "hosts" were filled with hatred and craziness. To say that there was no regard for facts or truth is kind of like saying there were no Jacuzzis in Auschwitz.
I turned the channel, incredulous that this was what much of America was watching. I was in shock because I'd always sought out actual facts, actual rationality-based information. I had no idea so many people were tuned into viciously mendacious, hatred-filled crap. I began to understand why we were in such a mess in the USA. We always had a corporate media that would peddle lies, but those media were never the source, per se, of those lies. But Fox is the liar and the microphone and the loudspeaker and the rabid, nonsense-filled frenzy.
I can't imagine wanting to watch something like that.
