Make more of these! Take any situation that has helped the country, and make a picture and caption showing how Fox News would have headlined the situation to make it look like it's hurting the country.

Fox News Exclusive:
Elvis Presley was arrested for lurid body movements at a concert in Trump town Florida. We here at Fox think they should lock him up and throw away the key. Sun Records Studio should be burned to the ground. Parents should urge their kids to listen to Perry Como and Doris Day and not deranged guitar players like mister presley who will never make a decent record in his life.

They probably would have said this after the Battle of Palmito Ranch (the last battle of the Civil War)....

"Our brave soldiers under the command of John Salmon Ford fought with the anti-states rights Union forces today at Palmito Ranch. Their overwhelming victory shows that the Confederacy is still winning the war despite all the fake news from pro-Union northern newspapers, and that the Confederacy will utterly smash the Union and put both them and the rebellious slaves back in their places. Already news of the overwhelming victory has reignited the Confederate spirit all across the south."

real impact

that is where the real unchallenged repetition is done

they say one pic is worth a 1000 words but now there are 1500 stations all repeating the same bullshit all day long, and they can go a lot farther - does she really look like a terrorist there?

limbaugh would have her looking like hannibal lecter waving a broken bottle

Fox “news” functions just like Goebbels did for Nazi Germany. We can thank St Ronnie for that, Fox would not exist like this if Reagan had not done away with the along standing Fairness Doctrine in 1987 I believe. Crazy far right talk was limited to AM radio with crackpots like Joe Pyne.

Fox has led us to this perilous point, no doubt, with their brainwashing of millions who buy their alternate “News”.
