In 1996 British billionaire, Rupert Murdoch, created FOX Noise. He handed the reigns to right-wing extremist Roger Ailes. Ailes had no interest in real “news,” he molded his fake-news network into a propaganda machine for the Republican Party. With no interest in the truth, he encouraged lies and sensationalism to attract uninformed Americans and therefore advertising.

FOX has intentionally divided our nation by attacking liberals with false allegations and half-truths. It is because of FOX that our government has become dysfunctional, and deliberation and compromise no longer exist. Without an efficient two-party system democracy cannot exist.

Sadly, to attract ratings all broadcast news adopted much of FOX’ format. Not a single network can be trusted today.

Today, FOX is a tool for your illegitimate president. The worship offered to Trump by FOX’ pretend journalists is adding further damage to our nation.

The first ever television newscast was delivered in 1940 by Lowell Thomas. It was an extension of his radio broadcast. Later, Edward R. Murrow, John Chancellor, Walter Cronkite, and others offered a one-half hour broadcast of the day’s events their networks considered ‘newsworthy.’ They reported events without opinions. Viewers were allowed to form their own opinions.

Ailes was aware that today’s viewers are too lazy to read the facts, and therefore could be easily brainwashed. 24 hours a day FOX offers opinions to those who wish to be fooled.

If FOX did not exist our nation would not be suffering from the actions of this incompetent, immoral, and criminally illegitimate president. FOX is the greatest enemy of the United States of America.

Every day Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Jeanine Pirro, and other “personalities” face the camera and lie to their audience. Viewers lose several IQ points every time they turn on FOX.

Finally, Trump attacks legitimate news agencies constantly while praising FOX. We, the real American people, must remember that President Obama was falsely criticized every day by FOX Noise, and he never once leveled attacks against the right-wing propaganda machine.

Without FOX, Trump, McConnell, Ryan, Grassley, Hatch, Graham, and other white men in the Republican Party would not have been elected.

You have a choice; be informed and learn the truth or watch FOX Noise.
