This is how Right Wing Authoritarians operate. It’s almost expected.

I cannot recommend this book enough. I’ve not read his 2022 follow-up that deals with Taco, but my guess is that it’s also good.
And this is shocking in what way?
It’s not shocking. Fox news always lies. That’s why I wish everyone would just shut it off. If you see a TV playing that crap like at the gym or a waiting room ask them to change the channel or change it yourself. Especially if you’re alone in the room you can even edit the channel list and remove Fox or add parental control and block the channel. Universal remotes or a smartphone with a USB-C IR blaster can let you control almost any TV. Or even simpler if the TV has physical buttons or the cable box has buttons just press those and to change the channel. This is all TV dependent of course but just food for thought.
Fully agree and do this myself.
