Trump recently suggested that the American people should award a trophy for ‘fake news.’ There is news which won’t surprise real Americans, but will shock Donny Boy. Fox Noise was the dubious ‘winner,’ with 40 percent of the vote. Coming in second was CNN with 25 percent. All other networks were in single figures.

Many things should frighten you about Trump’s illegitimate presidency. One fact stands above all of the others. Trump either refuses to read or is unable to read the ‘President’s Daily Briefing;’ thoughtfully composed by the CIA. Instead, he chooses to receive all of his information from Fox Noise; the same Fox Noise which 40 percent of Americans believe tells more lies than any other ‘news’ broadcast.

For 20 years Fox has been the right wing’s primary propaganda machine. It’s goal is not to inform the American people; it is to denounce every organization and every individual on the left side of the aisle. For years Americans who chose to be ignorant watched personalities such as the disgraced Bill O’Reilly, and fake-journalist, Megyn Kelly lied to their audience. Only one of the ‘big three’ remain; Sean Hannity continues as Trump’s flunky who has resorted to more egregious and divisive lies than ever before.

Fox can only make one legitimate claim; it is the major contributor to the enormous division within our nation. Republicans have had a philosophy for over 20 years which has served them well; ‘divide and conquer.’ They cannot win on the issues; they oppose most of the needs and wishes of the people.

What they will never report is the fact that today’s GOP is ‘Republican in name only.’ They have none of the principles or ideals of their predecessors.

Please re-post; thank you.
