The Fox News Bubble

You only have to watch Fox News for a few minutes to understand that they don't do journalism.  They do current events mixed in with right-wing propaganda.  Yet, Republicans turn to them time and time again to get their "information".


That the Republicans lost big-time in this most recent election is partly because they live in a Fox News bubble.  They think Fox News is "fair and balanced", but that is a lie too.  In the right-wing "us versus them" world, the "them" are better educated and generally living in reality. Since Democrats and Independents don't watch the channel much, it's up to Republicans to realize that Fox News isn't doing their party any good.  Of course, they won't, that's part of the bubble.
